    Uber Ordered To Pay 1.1 Million Dollars After Blind Woman Says She Was Refused Service

    04 april 2021
    A San Francisco woman was awarded $1.1 million by an arbitrator Thursday after she claimed Uber drivers repeatedly denied her rides because she is blind and uses a guide dog, the latest case where the ride-hailing giant’s drivers status as independent contractors has been called into question. The arbitration case was filed by San Francisco resident Lisa Irving in 2018, and accused Uber of violating the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) after she was harassed or denied rides on 14 occasions in 2016 and 2017, which caused her to be late for work on two occasions and lose her job. Irving’s lawyers say Uber drivers also abandoned her in dangerous places at late hours, verbally abused her and once cut a trip short and falsely claimed she had been delivered to her destination.
