Uber Sexual Assault Lawyers
Powerful Advocates in Rideshare Sexual Assault Lawsuits Nationwide
Sexual assault is a devastating violation that can happen anywhere, including during a rideshare trip with companies like Uber or Lyft. While these companies make money by connecting passengers with drivers, they often fail to protect the people they serve. Survivors are left with emotional trauma, medical bills, lost income, and an urgent need for justice.

Suing Uber and Lyft for Sexual Assault
When a rideshare driver commits sexual assault, the harm extends beyond the individual perpetrator. There is often a company behind them—a business that failed to screen, monitor, or remove a dangerous driver from its platform. Survivors come to us seeking justice not just against the attacker, but also against Uber, Lyft, or other rideshare companies whose negligence enabled the assault.
The magnitude of the issue is concerning. According to a New York Times investigation, from 2017 to 2022, Uber received over 400,000 complaints of sexual assault and misconduct during trips—nearly one report every eight minutes. Lyft has also faced thousands of reports of sexual assault.
Our approach is relentless. We don’t just file lawsuits; we build trial-ready cases from day one. This preparation is not for show. It’s a strategic move. By signaling to the rideshare company that we are prepared to go to court, we create pressure that can result in earlier and more favorable settlement negotiations.
If you're considering hiring a rideshare assault lawyer, you need a firm that has proven it can handle corporate defendants and pursue fair results. We have been doing that for over thirty years. We work toward recovering just compensation while holding negligent corporations publicly accountable for the harm they’ve caused.
You Have the Right to Seek Justice. We Are Here to Stand with You.
If you were sexually assaulted during a rideshare trip, whether as a passenger or a driver, you have the legal right to take action. Legally, this is called “standing,” but it really means that the law recognizes your ability as a survivor to demand justice and seek financial compensation.
A Lyft or Uber sexual assault lawsuit can give you the resources you need to move forward. Civil cases aim to hold the perpetrator and the company accountable for their shortcomings and to compensate you for your losses.
Potential damages include:
- Pain and suffering
- Past and future medical bills
- Mental health treatment
- Lost wages
For over 30 years, we have advocated strongly for survivors of violence, injury, and corporate misconduct. Our attorneys bring over a century of combined experience and a proven track record of taking complex, high-profile cases to trial. If you're searching for a rideshare sexual assault lawyer, know that we represent clients across the country, wherever justice needs to be served.

We Work Tirelessly to Hold Rideshare Companies Accountable
We believe the driver and the company are responsible for a rideshare assault, as they failed to prevent it. Our investigative process aims to uncover widespread corporate negligence that enabled the assault.
Our investigations can reveal:
- Inadequate background checks
- Failure to monitor driver behavior
- Ignoring passenger complaints or warnings about dangerous drivers
- Refusal to implement app safety features that could have prevented harm
When pursuing a rideshare negligence lawsuit, we employ proven legal strategies. We work to uncover internal company communications, driver histories, and complaint records—evidence that can reveal a pattern of corporate indifference to passenger safety.
We are trial lawyers at our core. By preparing each case as if it will go before a jury, we craft strong arguments to enhance settlement talks and, when needed, seek courtroom victories.
