Check federal rideshare class actions in the PACER Case Locator, which searches federal courts nationwide in one place. Check state rideshare settlements through the state attorney general's designated claims administrator. A class action is one lawsuit filed for a large group with the same complaint. Federal status lives on a court docket, while state payout status often lives with a settlement administrator.

How do I search federal rideshare cases?
PACER is the federal courts' public records system. A docket is the official list of filings and orders in one case. The Administrative Office of the U.S.
Courts explains that the nationwide Case Locator covers district, bankruptcy and appellate records together. Start with the full case name and filing court when you have them. Correct spelling and party names narrow results fast.
- Enter the case name, number, or party in the Case Locator
- Open the docket to see filings, orders, and deadlines
- Watch for dismissal, settlement approval, or transfer orders
Do I need an account to see dockets?
Yes for online federal searching. An account unlocks both nationwide searches and searches inside one court's records. The Administrative Office of the U.S.
Courts states that online access requires registering for a PACER account for both types of searches. Register before you need an urgent update. Keep your login and case number together for repeat checks.
Is the national rideshare case still grouped together?
Many similar federal cases can be grouped as multidistrict litigation. Multidistrict litigation sends related cases to one judge for shared pretrial steps.
The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation posts monthly pending MDL reports sorted by district, number and type. Use that list to see whether a rideshare MDL remains pending. If it is gone from the pending list, return to the individual court docket for next steps.
Where do state driver settlements post status?
State settlements use a different path from federal dockets. The state attorney general often names an outside administrator to take claims and answer questions.
The New York State Attorney General directs Uber and Lyft drivers to Rust Consulting portals for settlement claims. Go first to the attorney general page for your state settlement. Use only the linked administrator portal to check eligibility or claim status.
What should I have before I check?
Have the case or claim identifiers ready. The court name, case number, and driver account details reduce wrong matches.
Keep copies of claim confirmations, work records, and mailed notices. Contact the listed administrator, not the rideshare app, with a status question.
