Uber settlements
Uber, the ride-hailing company, has two settlements we track, and the contrast between them is the whole point: one paid drivers directly and the other paid almost nobody. The $175 million Massachusetts agreement with the state attorney general resolved claims about driver pay and benefits, and an administrator distributed the money to eligible Massachusetts drivers. The $148 million data breach settlement — a record when it was announced in 2018 — went to all 50 state attorneys general rather than into a consumer fund, and only Texas turned its share into per-driver payments of $100. Riders were never paid in either case, and the breach class actions never produced a fund because the courts sent them to individual arbitration.
