Attorneys at Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr helped Uber reach a $1.7 million settlement with the Department of Justice over the company’s use of illegal waiting fees the government said are discriminatory.

“People with disabilities should not be made to feel like second-class citizens or punished because of their disability, which is exactly what Uber’s wait time fee policy did,” said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. The settlement, announced Monday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, will provide refunds to more than 65,000 Uber users who paid the fee because of their disabilities, such as being charged for the time it took to place wheelchairs in vehicles.
