A couple who allege an Uber driver tried four times to run them down in April while threatening to kill them sued the company and the driver Monday.
John Christopher Burget and fiancee Kristin Currey brought the lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court against Uber Technologies Inc. and driver Destiny Riddle. The suit alleges negligence, assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and false imprisonment. Burget is seeking $4.95 million in damages and Currey is asking for $750,000.
Uber hired and retained Riddle despite her "record of violent and confrontational behavior," the suit states.
Neither the plaintiffs' attorney, Mark Mazda, nor an Uber representative could be immediately reached.
