This program presents a framework to recover from Uber, Lyft and other Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) built around seven principal liability theories: (1) motor-vehicle negligence; (2) statutory imputation under the carrier’s public-utilities or motor-carrier permit; (3) common-carrier liability; (4) regulated-hirer vicarious liability; (5) ostensible or apparent agency arising from the rideshare brand and customer-facing app; (6) direct corporate negligence, including negligent hiring, retention, and supervision; and (7) negligent undertaking.

Arash Homamapour integrates examples throughout his presentation to illustrate how the same seven theories operate under different statutory texts, so you are equipped to file, propound, and oppose in your own cases, regardless of the jurisdiction.

Materials include pleading, discovery, and motion templates: a sample complaint pleading all seven TNC liability theories; sample special interrogatories targeting permit operations, driver complaint history, and the algorithmic ride-matching apparatus; sample requests for production reaching driver ratings, deactivation flags, GPS and telematics data, and in-app safety representations; a sample person-most-qualified (or Rule 30(b)(6)) deposition notice covering permit conditions, safety protocols, training, and complaint handling; and a sample opposition to a TNC’s motion for summary judgment built around the statutory-imputation framework.
