Rideshare Sexual Assault

Rideshare Sexual Assault

When you hail a rideshare, you trust that the company did its part to ensure you are safe. But some companies prioritize easy profits over accountability. In 2025, the New York Times reported that Uber alone received a complaint of sexual assault or sexual misconduct in the United States every eight minutes (on average). When sexual assault occurs in a rideshare such as Uber or Lyft, the legal focus is usually on the company’s failure to enforce reasonable safety measures. The harm to the passenger who survives the assault is often immeasurable. The driver who assaulted a passenger rarely has the assets to pay for such harms. This includes medical care, therapy, lost income, and long-term harm. Attorney Ryan’s team aggressively protects survivors of sexual assault. To get you the compensation you need, we pursue the rideshare company’s insurance coverage. A common theory is negligent hiring and supervision, meaning the company failed to use reasonable care in screening, training, or monitoring drivers, or failed to act on warning signs. Survivors also face a second fight: companies often delay, deny, or undervalue claims to protect profits. We aggressively pursue every responsible party and every available source of coverage to get you the money you need to support your recovery after rideshare sexual assault.
