FACTS COMMON TO ALL CAUSES OF ACTION
18. On April 15, 2015, at around 5:30pm, BOGDAN PETRESCU, an Uber X patron, was
picked up in a 4 door Nissan sedan, license plate number 7ESS218, driven by Defendant NIMA
RAL, California Driver's License number D9048270, which he summoned through the use of
his Uber App.
19. BOGDAN PETRESCU and a colleague of his were being taken to the SFO by NIMA
RAL,
20. As they traveled southbound on 101, near Grand Avenue the vehicle began drifting
across the lanes of traffic. At that point BOGDAN PETRESCU looked to Defendant NIMA.
RAI and saw that his hands were off the wheel and he was slumped backwards in his seat with
his eyes fixed and gazing nowhere. The driver was unresponsive to the men’s attempts to get
his attention as the car drove into the back of a large moving truck.
21. The collision caused serious and significant physical and mental injuries to Plaintiff.
22, Following the subject accident, Defendant NIMA RAI admitted to Plaintiff that he had
blacked out and had a “head problem”. Defendant NIMA RAI also communicated that he had a
seizure disorder.
23. UBER, RAISER LLC, RAISER-CA LLC and Does 1-10 and 21-30 and their Uber X
service have been classified by the California Public Utilities Commission (hereinafter “PUC”)
asa TNC.
24. Defendants, and each of them, are common carriers who owed Plaintiff PETRESCU the
highest duty of care and vigilance of a very cautious person. The PUC has found that, “clearly,
74
‘COMPLAINT FOR DAMAGES AND DEMAND FOR TRIAL BY JURYBee fo oy el
each TNC is receiving either an economic benefit or a business benefit. At a minimum, they are
receiving increased patronage with the growth of their businesses.”
25. UBER, RAISER LLC, RAISER-CA LLC and Does 1-10 and 21-30, through its
services, including Uber X, provides prearranged transportation services for compensation using
its APP or platform to connect persons wanting to procure transportation (hereinafter
“USERS"), with those who, utilizing their own personal vehicles, want to provide transportation
ion exchange for compensation (hereinafter “DRIVERS”).
26. Plaintiffs are informed and believe, and on the basis of said information and belief
allege, that Defendant NIMA RAI was logged on to the UBER APP at the time that the collision
occurred and was appearing as a UBER and/or Uber X DRIVER available for providing
‘transportation services to USERS and/or was viewing, monitoring and/or interacting with his
wireless communications device/smartphone/GPS at or near the time of the collision.
27. Before USERS can utilize the APP, USERS must become “partners” of UBER, UBER,
RAISER LLC, RAISER-CA LLC and Does 1-10 and 21-30 by logging into UBER’s APP or
‘web based portal and provide information about themselves to UBER including their name, e-
‘mail, credit card number, mobile telephone number, etc. Only registered USERS can use
UBER’s APP to prearrange transportation service.
28. Before DRIVERS can participate in UBER’S, RASIER LLC’S, RAISER-CA LLC’S
and Does 1-10 and 21-30’s prearranged transportation service, including but not limited to Uber
X, they must apply to be a DRIVER by logging into UBER’s APP or web based portal and
providing information including but not limited to their name, phone number, address, e-mail,
‘banking information, vehicle registration, insurance, vehicle description, and have their vehicle
inspected. UBER, RASIER LLC and RAISER-CA LLC and Does 1-10 and 21-30 are required
to conduct a background investigation of their DRIVERS including but not limited to theit
driving and criminal history (and thereafter conduct periodic reviews of their driving history).
UBER, RASIER LLC and RAISER-CA LLC and Does 1-10 and 21-30 then evaluate the driver
and only permit those drivers it finds suitable to become registered DRIVERS on its APP.
UBER, RASIER LLC and RAISER-CA LLC and Does 1-10 and 21-30 reserve the right to
ar
COMPLAINT FOR DAMAGES AND DEMAND FOR TRIAL BY JURYSiocon at
remove or delete DRIVERS from their system at their discretion. Therefore UBER, RASIER
LLC and RAISER-CA LLC and Does 1-10 and 21-30 are entirely in control of who can use
their system as either a DRIVER or USER. They represent that they fully screen their
employees and they are the safest in the industry,
29. Defendants UBER, RASIER LLC and RAISER-CA LLC and Does 1-10 and 21-30,
represent to the public, such as Plaintiff PETRESCU that they fully screen their employees and
conduct background check into medical conditions, and based upon information and belief,
failed to check to determine if Defendant RAI was medically sound to operate a motor vehicle
30. Only after USERS and DRIVERS have provided the information required by UBER,
RASIER LLC and RAISER-CA LLC and Does 1-10 and 21-30 can they participate in the pre~
arranged transportation service.
31. USERS secking transportation services provided by UBER, RASIER LLC and
RAISER-CA LLC and Does 1-10 and 21-30, such as Uber x and its DRIVERS, log on to the
APP which is under the URL, www-uber.com, and arrive at a main screen that says UBER.
From that main screen they can navigate among different types of transportation services
(generally distinguished by type of vehicle) including Uber X which is touted as “the low cost
UBER.”
32. DRIVERS, in order to be available to provide USERS transportation services in
exchange for compensation, must log on to the UBER and/or Uber X APP and indicate their
availability. Their location and information is then visible to USERS and DRIVERS can access
a screen on their electronic communication device/smart phone/GPS called a “God View”
which shows them a map of where others using the system are located.
33. Plaintiff is informed and believe, and on the basis of said information and belief alleges
that the status of Defendant NIMA RAI as an UBER and/or Uber X DRIVER, including but not
limited to the failure properly screen for health issues, was a proximate cause of this collision
including but not limited to its causing Defendant NIMA RAI to drive for UBER, despite not
being medically cleared to.
