A California jury ruled that Uber is not liable for the sexual assault of a woman who said she was attacked by her driver during a ride she booked through the app.
Following a three-week civil trial in San Francisco Superior Court, the jury concluded on Tuesday that while Uber was negligent in the safety measures it implemented to protect the woman, Jessica C., that negligence was not a substantial factor in causing her harm, said her lawyer, Celine Cutter, told Reuters.
