Slater Vecchio has filed class actions in Quebec and British Columbia seeking to represent persons with physical disabilities who have experienced differentiated access to ride-share services because of their physical disability or use of a wheelchair or similar assistive device. A class complaint against Uber and Lyft has been filed in the BC Human Rights Tribunal, and a proposed class action against Uber has been filed in Quebec.
Uber and Lyft provide ride-hailing services throughout Canada. While both Uber and Lyft offer wheelchair-accessible services elsewhere in Canada, neither company provides wheelchair-accessible services throughout British Columbia or Quebec.
A class action is a legal case through which one person makes a claim to the Court on behalf of a similarly situated class of people who have the same or a similar legal claim. A class action seeks to hold a defendant or defendants responsible for their conduct that affects each member of the class by resolving issues that are common to the class in the same legal proceeding, instead of each class member bringing a claim individually.
The individual who first files the claim must ask the Court for permission to proceed as a class action. If permission is granted (referred as “authorized” in Quebec, and “certified” in all other Canadian provinces) and the case may proceed as a class action, the Court will appoint an individual as “Representative Plaintiff” to represent the best interests of the class during the litigation and will define the class group. Each person who meets the criteria of the class group is considered a “Class Member”.
Slater Vecchio seeks to represent individuals living with a physical disability in British Columbia or Quebec who were unable to obtain wheelchair-accessible services from Uber or Lyft in British Columbia or Quebec.
If you have a physical disability and require a wheelchair or similar assistive device for mobility and have faced difficulties using Uber or Lyft’s services in British Columbia or in Quebec, Slater Vecchio would like to hear from you.
