Ride-hailing giant Uber is pushing a controversial Nevada referendum measure that could cap lawyers’ fees in lawsuits against companies. The move comes amid ongoing litigation against Uber over sexual assault incidents involving drivers.
Critics see this as a veiled attempt by Uber to make it financially unattractive for victims to seek legal recourse. The proposed measure would limit the financial incentive for lawyers to take on such cases, potentially hindering victims’ ability to hold companies accountable.
