DOJ sues Lyft for disability discrimination, seeking $53M

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against Lyft, alleging that the company and its drivers routinely deny service to passengers with disabilities, including those who use mobility devices or service animals. The lawsuit claims Lyft violates the Americans with Disabilities Act by refusing service, imposing fees on those denied rides, and failing to adapt policies to prevent discrimination. This action follows a similar settlement Lyft reached with the DOJ in 2020 over comparable allegations, indicating the department believes the company's subsequent changes were insufficient. AI
