New York judge tosses Uber lawsuit claiming lawyers inflated injury claims
An Uber spokesperson said the company is considering “all options”
A New York judge has dismissed Uber's lawsuit against three law firms in the US state of New York, alleging that the firms violated federal anti-racketeering law by conspiring with doctors to bring exaggerated or fabricated injury claims against Uber in order to receive inflated payouts. According to the judge, Orelia Merchant in Brooklyn, Uber did not provide sufficient evidence to show that the law firms benefited beyond routine fee-sharing and client referrals.
The judge also found that Uber could not yet demonstrate any harm as three of the five injury cases cited in the July 2025 amended complaint are still pending in New York state court. Uber has stated that the company is considering "all options" and will await further developments.
