Overview

Holding Uber and Lyft accountable for passenger safety

Rideshare companies promise safe rides, yet thousands of passengers have reported sexual assault, harassment, and misconduct by drivers. Survivors can pursue civil claims against the driver and, in many cases, against the company for failures in screening, monitoring, and responding to complaints.

These cases are different from crash claims. They turn on the company’s safety practices, what it knew about the driver, and how it handled prior reports. We move at your pace, with complete discretion, and you pay nothing unless we recover compensation.

Cases we handle

◆Sexual assault or rape by a rideshare driver

◆Unwanted touching or groping during a ride

◆Sexual harassment, threats, or stalking by a driver

◆Kidnapping or being held against your will during a trip

◆Assaults by drivers with prior complaints

◆Claims against Uber or Lyft for negligent screening or safety failures

Frequently asked questions

Can I sue Uber or Lyft, not just the driver?+

Often, yes. Claims can be based on how the company screened, monitored, or responded to complaints about the driver. We review the facts to identify every responsible party.

Will my name be made public?+

We treat these cases with strict confidentiality and can ask the court to protect your identity where the law allows. The consultation is private and free.

I didn’t report it right away. Can I still file?+

Yes. Many survivors wait. Deadlines vary by state and type of claim, so talk to us when you are ready and we will confirm your timeline.

Do I need a police report?+

No. A police report can help, but it is not required to speak with us or to bring a civil claim.

You focus on healing. We'll handle the rest.
