India is the one I remember widely reported - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-40296994

This case had an even worse history than I thought though:

Uber had investigated the complaint, obtained her medical records and speculated that she made up the claims to hurt the firm's business.

So Uber also steal peoples medical records, and only fired the guy who instigated that after it became a news story: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-40196055

Probably a reference to the lackluster background checks performed by Uber et al.

Closest aggregator of data I found seems to have a very anti-ride-sharing view ("We are an initiative of the Taxicab, Limousine & Paratransit Association"), but here it is nonetheless: http://www.whosdrivingyou.org/rideshare-incidents

What are the numbers for Cab Drivers? They should've listed that. I'm always skeptical of people pointing out the dirt of their competition when they have their own dirt to deal with.
