Sexual assault by a rideshare driver
Sexual harassment during a ride
Inappropriate touching, groping, or attempted assault

Yes — in some cases, rideshare companies can be held civilly liable for driver misconduct if they:
Failed to conduct adequate background checks

Questions About Rideshare Assaults?
We Have Answers
Can I sue if the driver wasn’t convicted criminally?
Yes. Civil lawsuits do not require proof beyond a reasonable doubt or a criminal conviction — they only require a preponderance of the evidence to establish liability.
Will I have to go public with my experience?
Not unless you choose to disclose your identity. We can pursue your case with complete confidentiality, using only your initials to protect your privacy throughout the legal process.
What type of compensation can I receive?
Damages may include not only pain and suffering but also therapy costs, loss of income, medical expenses, and other related financial burdens.
Can I sue Lyft or Uber directly?
In some cases, the answer is yes—particularly when there has been a clear failure in screening procedures, safety measures, or the response protocol.
