If you have been a victim of sexual assault or harassment while using a rideshare service such as Uber or Lyft, the experience may involve unwanted touching, harassment, coercion, or other forms of sexual violence. It is important to report the incident to law enforcement and seek immediate support. Legal remedies are available to protect your rights and hold the responsible parties accountable.
Rideshare companies are required to perform driver screenings and provide passenger safety measures. However, failures in these protections have led to numerous lawsuits nationwide. Victims may pursue claims against not only the driver but also the rideshare company if negligence, such as inadequate background checks or poor response protocols, contributed to the harm.
Our firm is committed to standing with survivors during this difficult process. From reporting the incident to pursuing compensation, we provide guidance and advocacy every step of the way to ensure your voice is heard and your rights are protected.

How Much Compensation Can I Receive in a Rideshare Lawsuit?
The compensation available in a rideshare sexual harassment or assault claim depends on the impact of the incident. Victims may recover damages for emotional distress, trauma therapy, past and future medical expenses, lost income, and diminished quality of life. In severe cases, punitive damages may also be awarded to hold rideshare companies accountable for negligence.
Courts consider multiple factors, including the extent of psychological harm, financial losses, and whether the rideshare company failed to implement reasonable safety protections. Each case is unique, but our goal is to maximize recovery so survivors can focus on healing.
At our firm, we handle all types of rideshare assault and harassment claims. We understand the lasting impact these incidents can have, and we are dedicated to helping survivors secure justice, closure, and the compensation they deserve.
