Compensation May Be Available for Rideshare Assault Survivors
Survivors who experienced sexual assault, harassment, or other abuse during Uber or Lyft rides may qualify for compensation. Lawsuits allege failures in screening, monitoring, and removing dangerous drivers, as well as misleading safety messaging to riders. Public safety reports show thousands of reported incidents. Many survivors can seek compensation even without a prior police report.Submit Claim
Uber's U.S. Safety Reports disclosed nearly 6,000 sexual assault incidents in 2017 and 2018. Lyft's safety report identified more than 4,000 sexual assault incidents between 2017 and 2019. Sexual assault is often underreported, so true counts may be higher. The federal multidistrict litigation in the Northern District of California and coordinated California state cases continue to expand while courts oversee discovery, bellwether selections, and settlement discussions.
Do I Qualify for Compensation?
You may qualify if:• The incident occurred during an Uber or Lyft ride, pickup, or dropoff
• The incident involved sexual assault, attempted assault, or sexual harassment
• You have ride receipts, app history, contemporaneous notes, medical or therapy records, or other supporting documentation
• Your claim is within your state's statute of limitations or discovery window
What Compensation Could Be Available?
Potential recovery may include medical expenses, therapy, lost wages or earning capacity, and non-economic damages for pain and suffering. Settlement values vary by facts. Individualized claims often proceed in coordinated mass torts or MDL rather than a single class payout.How to Start a Confidential Review
