Lawsuit filed in San Francisco accuses Uber executives of failures in oversight of complaints, accessibility, and billing practices
A new legal dispute has put the board of directors of Uber Technologies under pressure in the United States this Monday, June 22, 2026.
Shareholders of the company accuse management members of ignoring alerts related to passenger safety, compliance standards, and harassment cases.
The lawsuit claims that these alleged failures increased the company’s legal exposure and contributed to the advancement of thousands of lawsuits.

As of June 1, 2026, Uber was facing 3,571 lawsuits consolidated in litigation overseen by the federal court in San Francisco.
Lawsuit against Uber initiated by its own investors
The lawsuit was filed in the federal court in San Francisco and reported by the news agency Reuters.
The initiative is led by the Police and Fire Retirement System of the City of Detroit, a U.S. pension fund.
According to the shareholders, board members received repeated internal and external warnings about possible failures in handling sexual abuse complaints.
Measures considered sufficient, according to the accusation, were not adopted to reduce the risks faced by passengers and the company itself.
The investors also claim that less than 40% of users believe that Uber takes safety seriously.
More than 3.5 thousand lawsuits increase pressure
The 3,571 existing lawsuits as of June 2026 involve accusations of improper sexual conduct attributed to drivers on the platform.
The complaints are still pending judicial review. For this reason, the accusations do not represent definitive decisions against Uber or its executives.
The volume of lawsuits, according to the shareholders, reveals the extent of the risks related to the alleged security and oversight failures.
The negative coverage would also have harmed the company’s reputation among passengers, investors, and regulatory authorities.
Shareholders also cite accessibility and charges
The lawsuit mentions disputes initiated by the United States federal government in 2025.
One of these lawsuits accused Uber of repeatedly refusing service to passengers with disabilities.
Among the users cited were people accompanied by service animals and passengers using foldable wheelchairs.
Another lawsuit pointed to possible deceptive practices related to charges and cancellations made by the platform.
The shareholders classify the company as a repeat offender in issues involving regulatory compliance and corporate oversight.
Lawsuit seeks reimbursement for the company itself
The lawsuit was filed in the form of a derivative action.
This type of measure allows shareholders to sue administrators on behalf of the company itself when they identify possible damages.
The goal is to compel the directors to compensate Uber for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties.
Possible violations of the United States federal securities market legislation were also mentioned in the lawsuit.
Dara Khosrowshahi appears among the defendants
Uber’s CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi, is among the administrators cited in the lawsuit.
Khosrowshahi has been at the helm of the company for almost nine years.
The shareholders acknowledge that the executive adopted a less aggressive regulatory stance than his predecessor.
The accusation maintains, however, that the company still would have saved resources intended for compliance with internal and regulatory standards.
Dispute over drivers also reached New York
Uber and Lyft sued the city of New York in early June 2026.
The companies are trying to block new municipal legislation related to the removal of drivers deemed unsuitable from the platforms.
The rule, according to the companies, would make it difficult to exclude these professionals and could affect passenger safety.
Uber’s shares had accumulated a drop of over 25% since the peak recorded on September 22, 2025.
Uber had not yet responded to requests for comment at the time of the initial Reuters disclosure.
The lawyers responsible for the shareholders’ action had also not made an immediate public statement.
Legal pressure increases Uber’s challenges
The new dispute broadens the debate about the board’s role in overseeing the practices adopted by the company.
Passenger safety, accessibility, billing, and regulatory compliance are among the main points questioned by investors.
The progress of the lawsuit could determine whether the administrators will have to respond financially for the losses attributed to the alleged oversight failures.
