Rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft have shown troubling gaps in their driver screening processes—often skipping vital safety steps such as fingerprinting, thorough law enforcement background checks, and in-person interviews. These oversights have left countless passengers—especially women—vulnerable to harm.
In recent years, hundreds of riders have reported incidents of sexual assault or rape. Many survivors may be entitled to substantial financial compensation.
Although these companies promote their driver vetting systems, serious risks remain. Uber’s first safety report revealed 5,981 reports of sexual violence in 2017–2018, including 3,045 in 2018 alone. Lyft’s 2020 safety report uncovered similar statistics involving passenger assaults.
If you or someone you love has been assaulted during a rideshare trip, you may have the right to pursue legal action through a confidential civil claim.
