Rideshare Sexual Assault & Abuse Claims

Investigating claims that rideshare passengers and drivers were sexually assaulted, abused, or harassed by Uber, Lyft, or other rideshare-network drivers or passengers.

Rideshare Sexual Assault & Abuse Claims
§ Background

About this investigation

Millions of Americans use rideshare platforms like Uber and Lyft each year. Public safety reports released by the platforms themselves have disclosed thousands of reported sexual assault, sexual misconduct, and abuse incidents. Lawsuits and investigations allege that rideshare companies knew or should have known about these risks and failed to implement adequate driver screening, real-time monitoring, in-app safety features, and incident-response protocols.

Participating law firms are evaluating civil claims on behalf of rideshare passengers (and, in certain cases, drivers) who allege they were sexually assaulted, abused, kidnapped, or harassed during or in direct connection with a rideshare trip. Claims may include negligence, negligent hiring, failure to warn, failure to implement safety measures, and vicarious liability theories.

Whether any specific individual has a viable claim is determined solely by an engaged attorney after a full case review. Submitting this intake does not guarantee eligibility, compensation, or attorney matching. If you are in immediate danger or need medical care, call 911 or contact a licensed medical or crisis-support provider first.
