Uber Georgia Teen Sex Trafficking Lawsuit Settlement, More Than $25,000 to Be Held in Trust

Uber has settled a Georgia lawsuit filed by a mother on behalf of her teenage daughter. The suit alleged that an Uber ride was used to take the then-14-year-old girl to a man who allegedly drugged and sexually assaulted her over several days.

This is an individual settlement, not a class action or a nationwide Uber settlement. There is no public claim form and no claim deadline for other Uber riders. The total amount is confidential, but court documents reported by CBS News Atlanta say the minor will receive more than $25,000, held in a trust until she turns 18.

What Happened in the Uber Georgia Teen Lawsuit?

The lawsuit centers on an incident in November 2024 involving a 14-year-old girl from Butts County, Georgia. According to the court filings, an Uber driver picked her up at a gas station in the early morning hours after a man she had been communicating with online requested the ride.

The complaint alleges the driver took her more than 30 miles to a location in Jonesboro in Clayton County, without checking her age, asking for identification or getting parental permission. It further alleges the man who arranged the ride drugged and repeatedly sexually assaulted her there.

These are allegations from a civil lawsuit. They are not court findings that Uber or the driver did what the complaint describes.

What Did the Lawsuit Accuse Uber of Doing?

The complaint claimed Uber failed to take reasonable steps to prevent the transport of a minor without parental consent and failed to spot warning signs of possible trafficking. Uber disputed liability. According to reporting on the case, Uber said it deactivated the account tied to the man who arranged the ride and cooperated with law enforcement after learning of the alleged assault.

How Much Did Uber Pay the Georgia Teen?

The total settlement is confidential, so no total dollar figure can be reported. The one publicly reported figure is that the minor will receive more than $25,000, placed in a trust she cannot access until she turns 18.

The settlement resolves only the claims in this lawsuit. It does not set a payment amount for anyone else.

Is the Uber Georgia Settlement a Class Action?

No. Jane Doe #1 sued on behalf of her minor daughter, Jane Doe #14. The court did not certify a class, so there are no class members, no settlement administrator and no objection process.

Other people who say they were assaulted or harmed during an Uber ride cannot claim money under this settlement. Each separate claim stands on its own facts. For the separate nationwide litigation, see Uber Sexual Assault MDL, Lyft Records Order & Case Status and Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuit 2026, $8.5M Verdict—3,000+ Cases Pending, No Consumer Settlement Yet, Here’s Your Legal Rights.

Is There an Uber Georgia Settlement Claim Form?

No. There is no public claim form, website or deadline for this settlement. If a site asks you for personal or financial information to collect money from “the Uber Georgia settlement,” treat it with suspicion and verify the source first.

What Happened Before Uber Settled the Georgia Lawsuit?

The settlement followed a long fight over discovery, including whether Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi could be questioned under oath.

• July 2026: Gwinnett County State Court Judge Emily Brantley denied Uber’s attempt to block the CEO’s deposition, finding he could have relevant information.
• September 15, 2026: According to AJC reporting, the trial court ordered additional depositions and imposed $66,000 in sanctions against Uber over deposition conduct.
• September 17, 2026: The Supreme Court of Georgia denied Uber’s petition for certiorari in Uber Technologies (GA), Inc. et al. v. Jane Doe #1, on behalf of Jane Doe #14, a minor, Case No. S27C0153.

The parties have not publicly said why they settled, so the timing should not be read as the reason.

What Did the Georgia Supreme Court Decide in the Uber Case?

Very little on the merits. The court declined to review a mid-case dispute over the deposition. Chief Justice Nels Peterson agreed with the denial but wrote separately, criticizing the trial court’s handling of the protective-order issue. He explained that Georgia law generally requires a certificate of immediate review before certain mid-case rulings can be appealed, and the trial court had denied one.

The order was not a ruling that Uber was liable for the teenager’s injuries.

What Does the Uber Georgia Settlement Mean for Other Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuits?

Not much directly. Uber faces thousands of lawsuits alleging sexual assault and related misconduct by drivers, and many federal cases are coordinated in MDL No. 3084, In re: Uber Technologies, Inc., Passenger Sexual Assault Litigation, in the Northern District of California. The Georgia case is a separate state court case, and a confidential individual settlement does not set what other plaintiffs will receive.

Can Someone Still Sue Uber Over a Sexual Assault or Trafficking Incident?

Possibly, but it depends on the facts. Survivors have brought claims under state negligence law and, in some cases, under the federal Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (18 U.S.C. § 1595), which allows civil claims against those who knowingly benefit from a venture they knew or should have known engaged in trafficking.

Questions an attorney will usually look at include:

• Where and when the incident happened
• The survivor’s age at the time
• Whether it was reported to police or Uber
• Whether the driver was working through the Uber app
• Whether Uber received earlier complaints about the driver
• Whether an arbitration agreement applies
• The filing deadline under the applicable law, which can differ by state and by the survivor’s age

This settlement does not extend anyone’s deadline.

What Should Uber Rideshare Assault Survivors Do?

There is no claim form to complete under this settlement. For a separate potential claim, consider these steps:

1. Report the incident to police.
2. Get medical care and, if needed, mental-health support.
3. Save Uber trip receipts, app screenshots, messages with the driver and any communications with Uber.
4. Keep police reports, medical records and the names of witnesses.
5. Talk to an attorney experienced in rideshare or trafficking claims, who can send a preservation (spoliation) letter to Uber for GPS data, account history and complaint records.

Are Uber Personal Injury Settlements Taxable?

Under Internal Revenue Code Section 104(a)(2), money received on account of personal physical injury or physical sickness is generally excluded from federal income tax. Punitive damages and interest are generally taxable. Tax treatment depends on how a settlement is structured, so confirm it with a tax professional.

How Much Do Attorneys Charge in Uber Personal Injury Cases?

Rideshare injury lawyers generally work on contingency, so clients usually pay no hourly fees. Percentages vary by firm and case stage, and case costs are often repaid from the recovery. Settlements involving minors typically need court approval, which can include review of fees and expenses.
