What Is the Rideshare Assault Lawsuit?

The Rideshare Assault Lawsuit addresses claims that Uber, Lyft, and other companies neglected their responsibility to protect passengers from abuse. Survivors allege that weak background checks, poor complaint handling, and a lack of effective safety measures created opportunities for predators to operate within the rideshare system.

Legal actions against rideshare companies aim to secure justice and compensation for survivors, while also pressuring the industry to adopt stronger safeguards. Survivors are leading the fight to ensure accountability and safer rides for future passengers.

Effects of Rideshare Assault on Survivors

Survivors of rideshare assault often experience long-lasting emotional, physical, and financial consequences. Many struggle with fear, anxiety, and loss of trust in everyday activities like traveling alone. Some face medical expenses, therapy costs, or lost income due to trauma-related challenges.

If you or someone you love has been harmed during a rideshare trip, know that it was not your fault. Documenting the incident and reaching out for professional support are important steps. For more information on what to do and where to find help, visit our Resources page.
