US Justice Department sues Lyft for $53M over alleged disability discrimination.

The US Justice Department has filed a lawsuit against Lyft, accusing the ride-hailing company of discriminating against passengers with disabilities, including those using service animals and mobility devices. The lawsuit seeks $53 million for affected individuals and demands Lyft change its policies to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Lyft denies the allegations and states it has policies requiring drivers to accommodate disabled riders, with penalties for violations. This follows a similar lawsuit against Uber last year for comparable allegations.

Lyft trades at USD 16.81 on Pluang, up 0.30% as of Nov 11, 2026 01:51 WIB. Its market cap stands at $6.33 billion with a 52-week low of $12.65. Uber, also mentioned in the lawsuit context, trades at USD 69.26, down 2.68% with a market cap of $145.32 billion on Pluang at the same time.
