A Dallas woman has filed a sexual assault lawsuit against Uber, alleging that the $50 billion company is civilly liable for failing to check the background of a convicted felon driver who raped her.
The lawsuit, Doe v. Uber Technologies, which was filed in a Dallas County district court on Aug. 11, also names Talal Ali Chammout as a defendant. Chammout was arrested July 29 for sexual assault after he allegedly picked up the woman through Uber’s smartphone app, followed her inside her home against her wishes, struck her on the back of the head and sexually assaulted her, according to the lawsuit.
