Why rideshare sexual assault cases matter

Reports of sexual assault and harassment connected to rideshare trips have drawn national attention. Survivors have described unwanted touching, verbal harassment and, in some cases, serious sexual violence.

Lawsuits against rideshare companies often allege problems such as weak driver screening, missing safety features, or failure to act on earlier complaints about a driver. In California, many passenger cases against Uber are coordinated in San Francisco Superior Court (In re Uber Rideshare Cases, JCCP No. 5188).

5,981

reports in the five most serious sexual-assault categories on Uber in the U.S. in 2017–2018, from Uber's own safety report.

4,158

sexual-assault reports on Lyft in the U.S. in 2017–2019, from Lyft's first community safety report.

2,717

reports in the same five Uber categories in 2021–2022, from Uber's third safety report.

Figures are nationwide and come from the companies' own U.S. safety reports. They count reports, not proven incidents.

Who can use this website?

Does it cost anything to find out if I have a case?

No. Submitting your information and having your situation reviewed is free. Rideshare sexual assault cases are usually handled on a contingency-fee basis, which means you pay no attorney fee unless there is a recovery. Case costs and fee terms vary, so ask the attorney and read any agreement before signing.

Is my information kept private?

Your information is used to evaluate your request and is shared only with participating attorneys and the service providers who help us run this website, as described in our Privacy Policy. Submitting information does not create an attorney-client relationship.

What if I never reported it to the police or the rideshare company?

Many survivors never make a report. The evaluation asks whether a report was filed, but there are no wrong answers. A participating attorney can talk with you about what your options may be.

Is there a deadline?

Usually, yes. Every state sets time limits (statutes of limitations) for filing a claim, and they depend on the facts. If you are considering a claim, it is a good idea to ask an attorney soon.

What happens after I answer the questions?

If you choose to share your contact details, someone from a participating law firm or its intake team may contact you by phone, text, or email to learn more. You decide whether to continue. No outcome is guaranteed.
