Rideshare Assault Overview

Rideshare companies have faced mounting criticism over their inability to prevent incidents of sexual assault, harassment, and violence involving their drivers. Reports of these crimes continue to surface, with survivors describing shocking negligence, such as incomplete background checks, failure to act on prior complaints, and retention of drivers with histories of misconduct.

While Uber and Lyft emphasize that most rides are safe, transparency reports have revealed thousands of sexual assault claims, leaving questions about whether these companies prioritize safety enough.

Access Justice Group is committed to seeking justice for survivors of rideshare assaults. Our attorneys understand the emotional and legal complexities of these cases and provide the support and expertise needed to navigate them. Taking legal action is not only about compensation—it’s about sending a message that safety should never be an afterthought.

Why File a Rideshare Assault Lawsuit?

Filing a lawsuit can achieve more than financial restitution. It can help:

Hold negligent companies accountable: Rideshare platforms have a duty to protect passengers by properly vetting and monitoring their drivers.
Push for better safety practices: Legal action often leads to stricter safety protocols to prevent future harm.
Support your recovery: Compensation can cover therapy costs, medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages tied to the incident.

What to Do If You Were Assaulted

After experiencing an assault during a rideshare, consider these critical steps:

Contact the Authorities: Report the assault immediately to law enforcement to create an official record.
Seek Medical Attention: If applicable, get medical care to treat injuries and document evidence.
Report to the Company: Notify Uber or Lyft about the incident through their reporting platforms.
Consult a Lawyer: Partner with an experienced legal team to investigate the company’s negligence and secure justice.

What Is the Statute of Limitations for Mass Torts?

The statute of limitations for mass torts is a critical aspect that varies depending on several factors:

Type of Claim: Different types of claims — such as personal injury, product liability, or environmental claims — may have different limitation periods.

Jurisdiction: The statute of limitations can vary by state and federal law.

Discovery Rule: In some cases, the statute of limitations begins when the plaintiff discovers or should have discovered the harm caused by the defendant’s actions.

Tolling: In certain circumstances, the statute of limitations may be paused or extended, such as for minors or in the case of ongoing litigation.

Since the statute of limitations can be so varied, it’s wise to consult with a tort attorney regarding your specific case.
