Where the Litigation Stands

Understanding Rideshare Sexual Assault Claims

Rideshare sexual assault lawsuits may involve allegations that a driver committed an assault and a company failed to take reasonable safety precautions. Civil claims seek accountability and compensation, and are separate from criminal prosecution. Federal Uber passenger cases are coordinated in MDL No. 3084 in the Northern District of California. Lyft claims may follow different procedures. Liability and deadlines depend on the facts and applicable law.
Learn More About Civil Claims and Privacy

Civil litigation considers whether a defendant is legally responsible for a survivor's losses. An assault or criminal report does not automatically establish a claim against a rideshare company.

Ask your attorney about confidentiality, requests to proceed under a pseudonym, and other available privacy protections. Courts decide whether particular protections apply; anonymity cannot be promised.

Filing deadlines vary. Contact an attorney promptly even if the incident happened some time ago. Learn more about the federal Uber proceedings through the Northern District of California court order.
