Uber & Lyft Sexual Assault Lawsuit

If you were sexually assaulted, harassed, or abused by a rideshare driver, you may be entitled to compensation — find out in two minutes, at no cost.

Why This Case Exists

Uber and Lyft have each faced thousands of claims from riders alleging they were sexually assaulted, harassed, or otherwise abused by drivers using the platforms. These claims allege that the rideshare companies knew sexual assault was a foreseeable risk on their platforms and failed to take adequate steps to protect riders — including insufficient driver background checks, inadequate in-app safety features, and slow or inconsistent responses to prior reports of misconduct. Because so many riders have come forward with similar allegations, courts in California and Illinois have coordinated large numbers of these individual lawsuits for pretrial proceedings, while each survivor's case is still evaluated and compensated on its own facts.

Who May Be Eligible

You may have a claim if you experienced any of the following while using Uber, Lyft, or a similar rideshare service:

  • Unwanted sexual contact, groping, or assault by a driver
  • Sexual harassment, threats, or coercion during a ride
  • Kidnapping, unlawful restraint, or being taken somewhere against your will
  • An assault that occurred after being picked up through the app, even if it happened after the trip officially ended

This applies whether you were the rider or, in some cases, a driver who was assaulted by a passenger.

What Compensation May Cover

Depending on the facts of your case, compensation in these claims may address medical and therapy costs, lost income, and pain and suffering. An attorney reviewing your case can explain what may apply to your specific situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a police report to file a claim?

No. While a police report can support your claim, many survivors are still eligible to pursue a claim without one. Tell us what you know on the form — "unsure" is a fine answer.

What if the incident happened a while ago?

Every state has a deadline (a "statute of limitations") for filing this type of claim, and it varies by state. Because of this, it's best to have your case reviewed as soon as possible.

Will my identity be kept private?

Your information is shared only with the attorney reviewing your case for the purpose of evaluating your claim. See our Privacy Policy.
