Rideshare Assault
Connecting law firms with passengers who were assaulted or harmed by Uber and Lyft drivers.
Case Overview
Uber and Lyft have transformed transportation, but their rapid growth came at the cost of passenger safety. Safety reports reveal thousands of sexual assault incidents annually, yet these platforms continue to prioritize profits through lax driver vetting practices.
Lawsuits allege that these companies prioritize profits over safety, citing inadequate background checks that fail to screen out drivers with criminal histories. Passengers have been assaulted, kidnapped, and worse by drivers who should never have been approved.
Evidence reveals that these rideshare companies knowingly let millions of high-risk drivers onto their platforms. The companies knew about inadequate safety features, and systematic prioritization of growth over passenger protection.
