Thousands of riders have been harmed. If you experienced assault, harassment, or kidnapping during a rideshare trip, you are not alone—and you have legal rights.
Statute of Limitations: Deadlines to file civil lawsuits vary by state. Recent "lookback window" laws may allow older claims to proceed. Do not wait.
Rideshare companies promised safe, convenient transportation. Instead, thousands of women, men, and minors across the United States have reported incidents ranging from unwanted touching to violent sexual assault.
Uber and Lyft are now facing an increasing wave of lawsuits alleging that they prioritized revenue over safety by failing to implement basic driver screenings and safety monitoring.
You may be eligible if you experienced any of the following during or immediately after a ride:
Even if you didn't report it to the police...
You may still have a case. Civil lawsuits have different evidence standards than criminal courts.
Survivors may be entitled to substantial financial compensation for the harm they endured.
Reimbursement for medical bills, emergency room visits, therapy costs, medications, lost income, and relocation expenses.
Compensation for PTSD, anxiety, depression, emotional trauma, loss of security, and pain & suffering (often the largest part of the claim).
Courts may award additional damages if it is proven that the rideshare company was grossly negligent in hiring the driver.
1. Prioritize Your Safety: Get to a safe place immediately. Call 911 if you are in danger.
2. Document What You Can: Screenshot the ride receipt, driver profile, and map route. Save any messages the driver sent you.
3. Seek Medical Attention: Visit a doctor or emergency room. This documents the trauma physically and mentally.
4. Speak to an Attorney: Before accepting any "refund" or small settlement from Uber/Lyft, speak to a lawyer. Signing a release may prevent you from suing later.
