FALMOUTH, Maine (AP) A judge in Maine has ruled that a woman who has impaired vision can go ahead with a claim against Uber, which she has said discriminated against her by refusing to allow her guide dog into a vehicle.
The lawsuit stretches back to 2015, when Patricia Sarchi, of Falmouth, sought a ride from Uber to an appointment in Portland. The Portland Press Herald reports the driver refused to take the guide dog, and Sarchi filed a complaint with the Maine Human Rights Commission.
The commission sided with Sarchi and she sued in Maine Superior Court.
