Our Rideshare Abuse Lawyers Fight for Accountability on Your Behalf

Uber and Lyft have changed the way people travel. But passengers shouldn’t have to sacrifice their safety for convenient rides. When drivers for rideshare companies abuse their position of trust, those abused can suffer devastating trauma.

We pursue physical, emotional, and financial compensation for these attacks while holding negligent companies accountable for faulty systems that allow abuse to happen. If you were sexually assaulted or abused by an Uber or Lyft driver, DBJ Law can help. Our legal team is here to provide compassionate, trauma-informed support while pursuing justice and compensation on your behalf.

When you’re ready, contact us online or call our law firm at (816) 421-1600 for a confidential, compassionate case review.

When Rideshare Safety Systems Fail

Advocacy organizations like RAINN provide tips for safer ridesharing, but prevention only goes so far. The burden of preventing sexual assault shouldn’t fall only on riders. When a company’s safety screening and monitoring fail, some drivers may exploit their position of trust and place passengers in dangerous, compromising, and harmful situations.

If you’ve experienced abuse during a ride, you’re not alone. According to Uber’s U.S. Safety Report and Lyft’s Safety Transparency Report, passengers and drivers have reported sexual assault incidents via the platforms. Both rideshare companies state that just 0.00002% of trips involve a safety report, but any number of victims represents a serious concern.

Our firm’s Lyft and Uber passenger assault lawyers represent survivors who deserve to be heard and to understand their legal rights and options. If you’d like to discuss yours, please contact us today.

Can I Sue Uber or Lyft for Driver Sexual Assault?

In many sexual assault cases, survivors may be able to file a civil lawsuit against the company, the driver, or both, depending on the circumstances of the attack. Uber, Lyft, and others have a legal responsibility to take reasonable steps to protect their passengers. When rideshare companies fail to screen drivers properly, ignore prior complaints, or allow dangerous individuals to remain employed, they may be liable for a driver’s misconduct and the resulting harm.

How Do Sexual Assault Lawsuits Work?

These legal proceedings typically involve an investigation before filing a formal complaint that initiates a Lyft or Uber driver sexual assault lawsuit. Cases may be resolved through negotiations, but our team is prepared for trial if that’s what’s needed

A civil sexual assault lawsuit is separate from any criminal charges the driver may be facing. These claims are designed to provide a victim with an opportunity to pursue recovery for physical, financial, and emotional damages resulting from the attack.

How A Rideshare Sexual Assault Lawyer Can Help

An attorney’s role is to act as an advocate and a legal shield for a survivor of a rideshare assault, handling corporate investigators, insurance representatives, or defense lawyers, and providing compassionate support. We’re here to handle the details so you can focus on healing.

A law firm’s resources and experience can help level the playing field for victims by:
