The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit licensed 2 concerns for the California Supreme Court focusing on whether Uber owes a task of care to its rideshare guests attacked at the hands of unapproved individuals impersonating Uber motorists.
In a Jan. 9 viewpoint, the circuit court licensed 2 concerns, asking what (if any) is the business’s task of care if a rideshare guest suffers an attack or other criminal offense at the hands of an unapproved individual impersonating an Uber chauffeur, and if a task is owed, does California precedent produce an exception to that task?
