Investing.com -- The U.S. government filed a lawsuit against Uber Technologies on Thursday, alleging the ride-sharing company discriminated against passengers with disabilities.
The lawsuit accuses Uber of routinely refusing service to people with disabilities, including those traveling with service animals or stowable wheelchairs.
According to court filings, the government claims Uber and its drivers imposed impermissible surcharges on disabled passengers. The lawsuit also alleges that drivers insulted and demeaned people with disabilities or asked them inappropriate questions.
The legal action, which cites violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act, seeks several remedies including an injunction against further violations, a court order requiring Uber to upgrade its practices, monetary damages, and a civil fine.
