This is an active lawsuit and none of the allegations against the defendant(s) have been proven. The contents of this page reflect the allegations in rideshare sexual assault lawsuits against Uber.

Thousands of rideshare passengers have lawsuits against Uber alleging that they were sexually assaulted by their Uber drivers. If you experienced sexual assault during or after an Uber ride, you may have grounds to file a rideshare sexual assault lawsuit, too. While engaging a lawyer to file a civil lawsuit in this scenario is not legally required, there are several important reasons to put an experienced Uber sexual assault lawyer on your side.

Why It’s Important to Have an Uber Sexual Assault Lawyer

Why should you hire a lawyer if you were sexually assaulted by an Uber driver? Here are just some of the ways an experienced Uber sexual assault lawyer will be able to help you:

1. Seeking Just Compensation Involves Filing a Sexual Assault Lawsuit Against Uber

For Uber sexual assault survivors, holding Uber accountable involves filing a civil lawsuit against the company in court. As we mentioned above, the company is already facing thousands of sexual assault cases filed by passengers who allege that they were assaulted after using Uber’s platform.

Filing a lawsuit is a complex process. This is especially true when filing a lawsuit in multidistrict litigation (MDL) in federal court—which is where most Uber sexual assault lawsuits are currently pending. An Uber sexual assault lawyer who is familiar with the MDL will be able to help you navigate the legal process and fight for just compensation on your behalf.

2. Uber is Fighting to Avoid Liability for Alleged Sexual Assault Incidents

Regardless of whether you hire an Uber sexual assault lawyer to represent you, you will be up against Uber’s legal team. Uber has hired legal counsel to fight passengers’ rideshare sexual assault claims by all means available.

If you have a rideshare sexual assault claim following an Uber ride, you will need an Uber sexual assault lawyer who can go toe-to-toe with Ubers’ legal counsel. You need a lawyer who can sue Uber on your behalf, and who can provide effective legal representation throughout your Uber sexual assault lawsuit. The reality is that passengers who do not hire Uber sexual assault lawyers to represent them stand virtually no chance of recovering just compensation in civil court or via a fair settlement.

3. You Need to Know How Much to Seek in Your Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuit

Speaking of seeking just compensation in civil court or via a fair settlement, if you have grounds to sue Uber, you need to know how much to seek in your Uber sexual assault lawsuit. In Uber sexual assault cases, victims are entitled to seek compensation including:

Compensation for their medical bills resulting from the sexual assault
Mental health treatment compensation
Psychological trauma as a result of experiencing sexual misconduct or sexual violence
Other financial and non-financial losses resulting from their sexual assaults

These losses can be substantial; and, for victims, it is critical to seek justice. Additionally, those who seek justice may also be able to help protect others from being sexually assaulted by their Uber drivers, as victims can use sexual assault cases to seek to force Uber to take steps to prevent sexual assault in the future as well.
