These lawsuits seek to hold Uber or Lyft responsible when a driver made or forced sexual contact without the rider's permission during a ride. The firm is reviewing claims that the rideshare company failed to use reasonable care, including when hiring drivers.
Federal courts are handling separate groups of Uber passenger sexual assault cases and Lyft passenger sexual assault cases. Each person's claim is still reviewed on its own facts.
You may qualify under the current case criteria if:
An attorney must review the ride date, state, available records, and other facts before deciding whether a claim can be filed.
The driver must have made or forced sexual contact without permission during the Uber or Lyft ride. Verbal comments or harassment alone are not enough.
Threats or other nonsexual violence can still be serious, but they are outside this firm's current Uber/Lyft review. If unwanted sexual contact also occurred, you can share that without including any graphic detail.
Yes. The current case review is for unwanted sexual contact by an Uber or Lyft driver during a ride. The ride must be connected to Uber or Lyft, not a private trip arranged outside the app.
If you are unsure whether the timing or ride status meets the criteria, provide the trip details you remember so an attorney can review them.
Useful proof may include a trip receipt, app ride history, confirmation email, account data, payment record, or messages about the ride. Uber explains how to find past trips and receipts, and Lyft explains how to view or export ride receipts.
If someone else booked or paid for the ride, records from that person's account may help. Under the current criteria, the firm cannot pursue a claim if there is no way to obtain proof of the ride.
Deadlines vary by state and may be short. The current case review uses the deadline for the rider's home state, measured from the ride date.
Exceptions may change the deadline. An attorney should review the best available ride date and the rider's state as soon as possible.
Compensation depends on the facts and may include medical or counseling costs, lost income, pain and suffering, emotional harm, and other losses connected to the assault.
No outcome or amount is guaranteed. An attorney can review the available records and explain what types of compensation may apply.
If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or contact local law enforcement before focusing on a legal claim. Seek medical care or support if you need it.
Save the ride receipt, app history, emails, payment records, messages, and any reports you already have. You do not need to describe the assault in graphic detail to start a case review. Share the ride date, the state where the affected person lived, and how the ride can be verified.
