The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) sued Uber Thursday for allegedly violating the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The agency claims the ride-hailing company “denies people with disabilities full and equal enjoyment” of its services.
The complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, and alleges Uber’s driver would refuse service to those customers with disabilities. This would violate Title III of the ADA, which prohibits businesses from discriminating against disabled individuals and requiring accommodations for them. There are 17 individuals listed in the complaint who gave examples of alleged discrimination by Uber.
“Uber’s discriminatory conduct has caused significant economic, emotional, and physical harm to individuals with disabilities,” the DOJ wrote in the complaint.
