Case Name

Alex Zamora, et al. v. Lyft Inc.,
Case No. 3:16-cv-02558-VC

U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California

Case Summary

This lawsuit claims, generally, that Lyft improperly charged commissions on “Prime Time” premiums added to fares during periods of high demand and that, as a result of this, Lyft violated various laws and contracts. Lyft denies that it improperly charged commissions and has asserted various defenses to the claims.

The lawsuit also claims, generally, that Lyft improperly classified drivers who gave rides in California as independent contractors rather than employees and that as a result of this classification, Lyft violated various laws and regulations. Lyft denies these claims, argues that it complied with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations at all times, and has asserted various defenses to these claims. These classification claims will not be resolved by the proposed settlement in this lawsuit.
