UBER DRIVERS

Read here about our decade-long work fighting to recover wages and expenses for Uber drivers.

Our firm brought the original case against Uber in 2013 for misclassifying drivers as independent contractors and not reimbursing them for their expenses, like for gas and for owning or leasing their vehicle, and not paying drivers' tips.  We have litigated against Uber for more than a decade (as well as many other gig economy companies, including Lyft, GrubHub, DoorDash, Postmates, Instacart, and Amazon) and, along the way, have made most of the law in this area in multiple states, including California and Massachusetts. We have represented thousands of Uber drivers in individual arbitration and have taken the first court case to trial against Uber in Pennsylvania (where we are now trying to certify the case to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, to establish more protective law for Uber drivers).

Click here to read more about our firm, which has been repeatedly recognized as one of the top firms in the country representing workers.  Attorney Shannon Liss-Riordan, lead counsel for the drivers, was named one of the top 200 lawyers in the country by Forbes in 2024 and has been nicknamed "Sledgehammer Shannon" by her clients and "Uber's Worst Nightmare".

We are continuing to bring individual arbitrations by drivers against Uber across the country, challenging Uber's continued refusal to recognize its drivers as employees, entitled to all the rights and protections of employees.  In order to be included in our ongoing arbitrations, email us at uberlawsuit@llrlaw.com to obtain a form to sign up with us.
