Uber Driver Sexual Assault Lawsuits: How Survivors Can Take Legal Action
When Uber’s app launched in 2010, it disrupted the traditional taxi industry. Seemingly overnight, getting from point A to point B in an urban environment without a car was more accessible, affordable, and convenient. No more waving down taxis, carrying cash, or waiting endlessly for a ride. With a few taps, you could get picked up anywhere, anytime. However, as Uber skyrocketed in popularity, a dark reality emerged—passenger safety was an afterthought.
For far too many riders, an Uber ride turned into a nightmare. Reports of sexual assaults by Uber drivers started piling up. It became apparent that Uber’s background check process and safety policies were woefully insufficient.
As of 2025, Uber has released three U.S. safety reports (2017-18; 2019-20; 2021-22). In those three reports, there have been a cumulative 12,522 reports of sexual assault.
To some people, that figure might represent a tiny percentage of overall rides the platform fulfills every day, let alone over the course of six years. However, picture yourself at a mid-size music venue watching your favorite performer or band. It’s a sold-out show. Each and every one of the thousands of seats is filled. Now imagine that everyone in the audience is a survivor of an Uber sexual assault. It changes the perspective. Of course, even one sexual assault in a rideshare is one too many. Unfortunately, new reports of Uber sexual assault incidents are a daily occurrence.
Based on Uber’s own data, an average of 5-6 new reports of sexual assault occur every day in Uber rides.
Fortunately, survivors are fighting back with lawsuits to hold the company accountable.
As of March 2025, over 3,000 Uber sexual assault cases are pending, with some lawsuits involving multiple plaintiffs. (This means that while there are thousands of cases, the actual number of lawsuits may be lower, as some plaintiffs have joined together in group filings.)
If you or a loved one has been assaulted by an Uber driver, you may have legal options to seek justice and compensation.
Let’s break down everything you need to know about Uber sexual assault lawsuits, including what Uber did—or failed to do—to prevent these crimes and how survivors can take action, including connecting with our professional intake team that can connect you with an attorney that specializes in Uber driver sexual assault cases.

Woman Assaulted Within Seconds of Entering Uber in Connecticut
A 23-year-old woman in East Hartford, Connecticut, was allegedly sexually assaulted by her Uber driver just seconds after beginning her ride around 4 a.m. The driver, identified as Isaac Boafo, reportedly pulled into a restaurant parking lot, climbed into the back seat, and assaulted the passenger. The victim fought back, escaped the vehicle, and contacted police after a second Uber driver advised her to call 911. Boafo was later arrested and charged with first-degree sexual assault and disorderly conduct.

Philadelphia Man Arrested for Using Uber to Transport and Assault Minor
Philadelphia resident Angel Lopez was arrested for allegedly arranging an Uber to transport a 13-year-old girl from Western Pennsylvania to his apartment, where he drugged the girl and committed sexual offenses. Authorities say the two met via TikTok. The case highlights how rideshare services like Uber are not doing enough to prevent the sexual exploitation of minors.

Bangor, ME Uber Driver Arrested For Sexual Assault
Uber driver Joseph Graston was found guilty of unlawful sexual contact and unlawful touching. His arrest stems from a June 2022 incident in which a woman took an Uber home from a Bangor nightclub and later reported she was sexually assaulted by the driver. This case adds to the growing national scrutiny over Uber’s safety practices and comes amid ongoing federal litigation involving 1,600 Uber sexual assault lawsuits.

Nevada Bill Shields Uber from Some Liability. Sexual Assault Lawsuits in California MDL Not Affected
Nevada lawmakers fast-tracked AB523, a bill that limits Uber’s liability for harm caused by its drivers or passengers, provided the company maintains at least $1 million in insurance coverage during rides—a reduction from the prior $1.5 million minimum. The bill is part of a six-year truce between Uber and the Nevada Justice Association, ending a heated legal and political fight. However, the bill does not shield Uber from ongoing lawsuits in the California multidistrict litigation (MDL), where the company faces over 1,600 sexual assault claims, including from survivors in Nevada.

Former and Current CEOs of Uber, Other Execs, Must Testify In Sexual Assault MDL
A federal judge has ordered top Uber executives—including current CEO Dara Khosrowshahi and co-founder Travis Kalanick—to testify under oath in depositions for the Uber sexual assault multi-district litigation, which consolidates more than 1,600 cases filed by riders who allege they were sexually assaulted by Uber drivers. The ruling rejects Uber’s attempt to shield its leadership from depositions, stating that key safety decisions were made at the highest levels. Survivors claim Uber failed to vet drivers properly and falsely marketed its platform as safe.

Georgia Mother Sues Uber After 14-Year-Old Daughter Allegedly Exploited Through Rideshare Platform
A Georgia mother filed a lawsuit against Uber in Gwinnett County, alleging the company’s failure to implement proper safety measures enabled her 14-year-old daughter to be exploited after being transported by an Uber driver to meet a 24-year-old man now facing criminal charges. The lawsuit accuses Uber of negligence, asserting that the company prioritizes avoiding liability over protecting minors. This case adds to growing scrutiny of Uber’s handling of rider safety, especially involving minors, and comes as the company faces over 1,600 federal sexual assault cases consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL) in California—an effort Uber unsuccessfully tried to dismiss.

Uber Driver Accused of Sexually Assaulting Passenger in Miami
CBS News Miami reported that Uber driver Yaroslandys Romero, 35, who has been accused of sexually assaulting a female passenger, appeared in bond court after his arrest. Charged with sexual battery, battery and indecent exposure, Romero, according to an arrest report, picked up the victim from a friend’s house and initially drove as she sat in the backseat. After she had requested a phone charger, he suggested she move to the front seat to be closer to his phone. Once she sat up front, Romero allegedly began touching her arm and asked for a kiss. From there, the sexual assault took place.

9th Circuit Shuts Down Uber’s Bid to Dismantle Sexual Assault MDL
The Los Angeles Times reports that the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has denied Uber’s petition to break up the consolidated sexual assault lawsuits in the Multidistrict Litigation (MDL 3084). Uber had sought a writ of mandamus to overturn the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation’s (JPML) decision to centralize the cases under 28 U.S.C. § 1407, arguing that the lawsuits should not be grouped together. The Ninth Circuit rejected Uber’s request, ruling that the JPML had not committed legal error or abused its discretion in deciding to consolidate the claims.
The MDL consists of lawsuits filed by survivors of sexual assault and harassment who allege that Uber failed to take reasonable steps to prevent misconduct by its drivers. Uber argued that its collective action waiver—a clause in its terms of service that prevents customers from filing joint lawsuits—should block centralization. However, the Ninth Circuit ruled that Uber’s private agreements could not override the authority granted to the JPML under federal law. The court also clarified that, unlike class actions, MDL cases do not need to have common questions of fact that predominate over individual ones, reinforcing the legitimacy of consolidating these lawsuits. This decision allows the Uber sexual assault MDL to proceed in federal court as a centralized legal action.

27 Plaintiffs Sue Uber for Sexual Assaults, Citing Failed Safety Measures and Negligence
Two new lawsuits filed in San Francisco Superior Court accuse Uber of negligence and false advertising, alleging the company failed to implement effective safety measures despite knowing that drivers were sexually assaulting passengers. The lawsuits involve 27 reported incidents from 2017 to 2024 and were brought by a total of 27 plaintiffs—24 women and three men in California and New York, the San Francisco Standard reported.
One lawsuit, filed by 21 women and two men, argues that Uber misrepresented its safety policies, particularly when marketing to vulnerable riders, such as intoxicated passengers and women traveling alone. The second lawsuit, filed by three women and one man, includes similar allegations of Uber failing to screen drivers properly and allowing repeated safety failures.
Both cases cite Uber’s 2019 Safety Report, which admitted that sexual assaults had occurred, yet plaintiffs argue the company continued neglecting proper driver screening and passenger protections. The lawsuits seek to hold Uber accountable under negligence and consumer protection laws, claiming the company’s failure to act responsibly put passengers at risk. Uber declined to comment on the litigation but stated it is working to improve safety measures.
Uber is massive. The company operates in over 10,000 cities worldwide, completing millions of rides every day. But here’s the disturbing reality:
It’s not just a coincidence. Survivors and legal experts say that Uber’s background check system is deeply flawed, allowing predators to slip through the cracks.
Uber driver sexual assault lawsuits argue that the company prioritized growth and profit over passenger safety. Keep in mind that Uber is worth over $150 billion on the stock market (market capitalization as of early \March 2025). Instead of implementing strong safety policies, Uber focused on getting as many drivers as possible on the road—fast. The company’s goal prioritized stock valuation over passenger safety.
And when it came to passenger safety, Uber flat out lied. For years, the rideshare giant bragged about having top-tier background checks. In 2014, amid growing concerns over sexual assault committed by its drivers, Uber instituted a “Safe Ride Fee.” This $1 tack-on per ride was supposed to boost Uber’s efforts to promote rider safety. Instead, the Safe Ride Fees the company raked in—totalling approximately $500 million—went straight to its bottom line.
Half a billion dollars in pure profit generated from a bogus surcharge that failed to protect thousands of riders.
In 2016, Uber agreed to a $25 million settlement over the misleading marketing claims. As part of the agreement, Uber could no longer market itself as “the safest ride on the road” and describe its background checks as “the gold standard.” The settlement was a slap on the wrist. And while every rider was paying the Safe Ride Fee, the inconvenient truths about Uber’s paltry background checks were:
These low-security background checks allowed thousands of drivers with criminal histories—including sexual misconduct—to get approved. This recklessness put scores of passengers, especially women, at serious risk. In fact, a 2018 CNN investigation revealed more than 100 Uber drivers had been accused of sexually assaulting or abusing passengers in just the preceding four years.
In 2021, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) approved a $9 million settlement with Uber after the company failed to properly document and report these sexual assault incidents. After Uber disclosed receiving nearly 6,000 sexual assault and harassment reports in its first Safety Report, the CPUC demanded the company submit detailed data and respond to questions about the reported incidents. However, Uber refused to comply, arguing that releasing the information would be a “shocking violation of privacy.”
Reading about Uber’s deceptive and profit-driven tactics may add to the trauma that survivors have already endured. This is why it’s important to focus on what you as a survivor can control—seeking justice, holding Uber accountable, and finding the support you need to heal. Whether that means filing a lawsuit, connecting with survivor advocacy groups, or simply learning about your rights, you don’t have to go through this alone.
If an Uber driver sexually assaulted you, you may have the right to sue Uber for negligence. These lawsuits argue that Uber:
If thousands of people have been sexually assaulted by Uber drivers, why isn’t there one big class action lawsuit where survivors can all file together? Wouldn’t that make things easier?
The short answer: It wouldn’t be fair to survivors.
Class action lawsuits work best when all plaintiffs have identical claims, say, a defective product where every consumer experienced the same issue. (Example: defective airbags in cars that are recalled by the manufacturer.)
However, in sexual assault cases, every survivor’s experience is different. Some were groped. Some were raped. And some suffered physical injuries. Many survivors are coping with severe emotional trauma. The level of evidence, damages, and legal arguments vary from case to case.
In a class action, everyone gets the exact same settlement amount, often for pennies on the dollar of what a plaintiff jury verdict would award. The difference could mean a settlement of a few thousand bucks per class member versus a multi-million-dollar jury award for one plaintiff. Hypothetically, if a class action were to be certified to resolve Uber sexual assault lawsuits, survivors who have undergone the most harm might receive far less than they would in an individual lawsuit. Furthermore, a class action would take away control from survivors since class actions are typically handled by one legal team making decisions for everyone rather than letting survivors pursue justice in the best way for them.
Another key reason there’s no class action lawsuit against Uber is that the company has actively worked to block them.
Before 2018, Uber’s terms of service included mandatory arbitration and class action waivers, forcing survivors into private, undisclosed claim resolutions instead of allowing them to take Uber to court. These clauses were designed to prevent customers from filing lawsuits as a group, shielding Uber from public legal battles.
However, after mounting pressure from advocacy groups, media scrutiny, and legal challenges, Uber was forced to change its policy.
It’s important to note that 14 female survivors played a big role in these policy changes. They courageously came forward and sent a letter to Uber’s board requesting to be released from arbitration. Their bravery also resulted in Uber no longer requiring any survivors to sign nondisclosure agreements if they wish to speak out about their claims.
Thanks to the courage of these and other survivors, today, sexual assault survivors can sue Uber either individually or collectively through legal avenues like Multidistrict Litigation (MDL).
In other words, while Uber no longer forces arbitration, survivors must still pursue their cases separately rather than through a single class action.
Our professionally trained, compassionate intake specialists can connect you with an attorney who specializes in rideshare sexual assault cases. You will not have to pay anything up front, you’ll be treated with the utmost respect and patience, and your information will remain private. The attorneys we partner with work on a contingency. This means that the attorney (or law firm) takes a percentage of the jury verdict or settlement if the litigation is successful.
Although every survivor’s experience is uniquely harrowing, the lawsuits share similar facts and claims. As mentioned, Uber’s effort to prevent a group legal action has been denied.
Consequently, as of March 2025, approximately 1,600 Uber sexual assault cases have been consolidated (grouped together) into the MDL. This means that 1,600 cases are joined together into one legal action.These grouped cases represent more than half of the 3,000 active Uber sexual assault cases. (In this context, “cases” refer to individual legal actions filed by survivors. A single lawsuit may include multiple cases, and the total number of cases does not equal the number of incidents, as some survivors have yet to file a claim.)

As noted above, a class action lawsuit involves many plaintiffs who share a similar claim against a defendant. The outcome applies to everyone in the class, whether they actively participate or not.
On the other hand, a Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) is a group of separate lawsuits filed by different plaintiffs but consolidated into one federal district court for pretrial proceedings. These proceedings establish essential facts about the litigation and streamline evidence gathering and legal arguments. Each case remains individual, meaning plaintiffs can settle or go to trial separately.
The key difference is that in a class action, one ruling applies to all class members. While in an MDL, each case is handled separately after pretrial proceedings.
As of March 2025, the “Uber Passenger Sexual Assault Multi-District Litigation (MDL #3084)” has consolidated about 1,600 pending cases across 29 states. The first test cases in the MDL (called “bellwether trials”) could potentially start toward the end of 2025 or in early 2026. The “Discovery Phase” of the litigation is scheduled to close towards the end of September 2025.
Overseen by Judge Charles Breyer, the MDL is in the pretrial phase and was approved by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) in 2023 and centralized in the United States District Court’s Northern District of California. The MDL was assigned to this district because Uber’s headquarters is in San Francisco. This makes the Northern District of California the logical venue for federal cases involving multiple plaintiffs from different states.
(Uber unsuccessfully attempted to have the term “sexual assault” stricken from the MDL title.)
Again, it’s important to note that an MDL is a group of cases consolidated into one federal district court. This is to prevent U.S. District Courts from becoming clogged nationwide with similar cases. As we can see, there are hundreds of similar allegations.
According to the Northern District of California District Court, the litigation centers around the failure of Uber Technologies to:
“…implement appropriate safety precautions to protect passengers. Plaintiffs are former Uber passengers who were sexually assaulted or harassed by their Uber drivers. Plaintiffs bring various claims against Uber, including negligence, breach of contract, and product liability claims.”
When multiple people sue a company like Uber for similar reasons—like failing to protect passengers from sexual assault—those lawsuits can get really complicated. As mentioned, instead of having hundreds of separate cases scattered across different courts, an MDL groups them together in one court to streamline the process. From a plaintiff’s perspective, an MDL offers several benefits:
The bottom line? An MDL levels the playing field against a massive corporation like Uber while keeping each survivor’s experience and damages unique to their case.
It’s no wonder, then, that Uber has filed several motions to have the MDL tossed. The company knows that if it loses some of the first test cases, it could be forced into a massive settlement.
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
March 10, 2025
Bloomberg News announced that Uber Technologies Inc. failed to convince a San Francisco federal appeals court to separate more than a thousand lawsuits filed by riders who allege they were sexually assaulted by Uber drivers. In other words, Uber unsuccessfully tried to have the MDL blown up. The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit rejected Uber’s argument that its terms of use agreement prevents passengers from filing coordinated or consolidated lawsuits against the company. Thus, the MDL stands as a potential legal avenue for survivors to receive a significant settlement or jury award for the nightmare they have endured.
The MDL isn’t the only Uber sexual assault litigation on the books. Hundreds of similar lawsuits have also been filed in state courts. A roughly equal number of state-level Uber sexual assault lawsuits have been filed, bringing the total number of federal and state lawsuits to more than 3,000 as of March 2025.
To reiterate the massive scope of Uber’s negligence, based on its own data, 9,805 reports of sexual assault incidents were reported in its rides, including 852 reports of rape. However, these incidents only represent 2017 through the end of 2022. There are likely hundreds of additional incidents. Considering these sobering statistics, it’s very likely that many more plaintiffs will be added to the MDL or state court dockets.
If your case is assigned to the MDL, it usually means that it has the strongest evidence and that you could potentially be awarded significant damages if it is selected for trial and results in a plaintiff verdict. (Or your case could be settled before your lawsuit is tried in court.). However, other survivors who don’t have ironclad cases may still be entitled to compensation if their lawsuit is filed in a state court.
If, let’s say, you live on the East Coast, where the Uber driver sexual assault occurred, your lawsuit may be filed in that state rather than be assigned to the MDL in Calfornia. Filing at the state level, especially in a jurisdiction with plaintiff-friendly laws, may be beneficial. Additionally, some state laws provide longer statutes of limitations or broader protections for victims.
Ultimately, the choice between state court vs. federal MDL depends on the specifics of each case, including where the assault happened, the applicable state laws, and the legal strategy of the plaintiff’s attorneys.
If this all sounds confusing, you are not alone. We can help connect you with an experienced Uber sexual assault lawyer who will determine which legal path is best.
Important Update:
February 12, 2025
Two new lawsuits have been filed in San Francisco Superior Court (a state court; these cases may or may not be assigned to the MDL depending on their respective strength). The lawsuits accuse Uber of failing to protect 27 passengers from sexual assault and allege that the company misrepresented its safety measures while continuing to allow dangerous drivers onto its platform. The plaintiffs claim the company’s negligence and lack of proper screening led to repeated assaults between 2017 and 2024 in California and New York. The complaints cite Uber’s own 2017-2018 safety report, which admitted that thousands of sexual assaults had occurred, yet the company allegedly failed to implement meaningful protections. Uber declined to comment.
If you were sexually assaulted during or after an Uber ride, you might be wondering if you have the right to take legal action. Many survivors are eligible to file lawsuits against Uber—whether the assault happened inside the vehicle, after the ride ended, or under circumstances where Uber’s negligence played a role.
Here are some of the main types of survivors who may be eligible to file an Uber sexual assault lawsuit:
The majority of Uber sexual assault lawsuits involve riders who were attacked by their drivers. This includes any form of sexual violence, from unwanted touching and groping to rape and other non-consensual acts. Even if you were not physically harmed, you may still be able to file a lawsuit if the driver engaged in harassment, coercion, or any form of sexual misconduct.
You may also be eligible to file a lawsuit if you were assaulted because of Uber’s negligence, even if the perpetrator wasn’t the driver. Examples include:
Some drivers have also been victims of sexual assault by riders. If you were attacked while working for Uber and the company failed to protect you, you may also have grounds for legal action.
Consent is not legally valid if the victim is under 18, intoxicated, asleep, or otherwise incapacitated when the assault occurs. If an Uber driver took advantage of your vulnerability, you still have the right to pursue justice, even if you don’t remember all the details of the incident.
Many survivors feel uncertain about whether they have a case, especially if they don’t remember everything or didn’t report the assault immediately. But here’s the truth: You don’t have to have all the answers right now.
An experienced Uber sexual assault lawyer can review your situation confidentially and help you determine the best legal path forward. Even if you’re unsure, reaching out for legal guidance is free and could help you understand your rights.
Most Uber sexual assault lawsuits focus on holding the company accountable for its lack of proper safety measures and failure to vet drivers adequately (insufficient background checks). Survivors may also choose to sue the driver individually, depending on the circumstances.
Here’s what your options look like:
As mentioned earlier, Uber falsely marketed itself as a safe transportation option. Yet, there have been more than 10,000 incidents of sexual assault by Uber drivers for the six years Uber has released safety reports (2017-2022). Survivors can file a lawsuit against Uber for failing to properly screen drivers, protect passengers, and take appropriate action when misconduct is reported.
These lawsuits argue that Uber prioritized rapid growth and profit over rider safety, allowing dangerous individuals to drive for the platform without thorough background checks or oversight. If Uber knew about the safety risks and failed to act, the company can be held responsible.
In some cases, survivors may also choose to sue the driver directly for sexual assault, harassment, or other misconduct. However, this route may not always be practical—many drivers lack the financial resources to compensate victims. In most situations, suing Uber is the more effective path to justice.
It’s also important to understand that individuals cannot file criminal charges against an Uber driver for sexual assault—only a District Attorney can prosecute criminal cases. However, survivors can file a civil lawsuit to seek financial compensation for medical expenses, therapy, lost wages, and other damages.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. An experienced Uber sexual assault attorney can guide you through the legal process.
The statute of limitations is the legal deadline for filing a lawsuit, which varies by state. In some states, survivors may have only a few years from the date of the assault to take legal action, while others provide longer windows, especially if the survivor was a minor at the time of the incident.
Additionally, certain states have enacted lookback windows that temporarily lift the statute of limitations, allowing survivors to file lawsuits even if their assault happened years ago. Because these laws change frequently and depend on where the assault occurred, it’s crucial to consult with an attorney who understands the latest legal timelines.
It’s also important to note that exceptions may apply, depending on the circumstances of the case. For example, if a survivor only recently connected their trauma or PTSD to the assault, some states allow for a delayed discovery rule, which can extend the deadline for filing.
Similarly, if Uber actively concealed evidence of its negligence, it may be possible to argue that the statute of limitations should be extended. However, once the statute of limitations expires, survivors typically lose their right to seek compensation. This is why it’s so important to act as soon as possible.
Even if you’re unsure whether you still qualify, speaking with an experienced Uber sexual assault attorney can help clarify your legal options. Let our professionally trained intake staff connect you with an attorney specializing in rideshare assault lawsuits.
If you win your case against Uber, you may be entitled to significant financial compensation, which can include:
While no amount of money can erase the trauma, it can help survivors rebuild their lives and hold Uber accountable.
If you’re considering legal action, here’s what you need to do:
Uber has finally started making changes after years of lawsuits and public backlash, but is it enough?
While these changes sound good on paper, many survivors argue that Uber should have done this years ago. And for thousands of victims, these policy updates come far too late.
Going up against a billion-dollar company like Uber isn’t easy. Survivors who have an experienced attorney on their side are far more likely to win their cases and receive fair compensation.
If you or a loved one has been assaulted by an Uber driver, you have rights. Holding Uber accountable can help prevent future assaults and give survivors the justice they deserve.

If you’re a survivor of sexual assault involving an Uber driver, you likely have many questions about your legal options, rights, and what to expect. Below are some of the most frequently asked questions to help you navigate this process.
Yes. Survivors can file lawsuits against Uber as a company for failing to protect passengers and properly screen drivers. You may also be able to sue the driver individually, though many survivors choose to focus their legal action on Uber because the company has greater financial responsibility and liability.
No. While thousands of survivors have come forward, sexual assault cases are not handled as a class action because each survivor’s experience is unique. Instead, lawsuits have been consolidated into Multidistrict Litigation (MDL 3084), which allows survivors to file separately while sharing pretrial proceedings. Uber driver sexual assault lawsuits have also been filed in several state courts.
Class action lawsuits treat all plaintiffs as a single group, and one outcome applies to everyone.
MDLs group cases together for efficiency, but each survivor’s lawsuit remains separate and can have its own outcome or settlement.
This means that in an MDL, you maintain control over your individual case rather than being forced into a single settlement.
You may qualify if you:
✔ Were a passenger assaulted by an Uber driver
✔ Were sexually assaulted due to an Uber driver’s negligence
✔ Were harassed, stalked, or harmed by an Uber driver before, during, or after a ride
✔ Were under 18, intoxicated, or unconscious at the time of the assault
If you’re unsure, an Uber sexual assault attorney can review your case and help determine your legal options.
If your lawsuit is successful, you may be eligible for compensation for:
Settlement amounts vary depending on case strength, evidence, and severity of the assault.
This depends on state laws. Each state has a statute of limitations that sets a deadline for filing a lawsuit. Some states allow only a few years, while others have extended time limits. Speaking with a lawyer as soon as possible can help ensure you don’t miss your chance to file.
Not necessarily. Most cases settle before trial, meaning you may never have to go to court. However, if your case does proceed to trial, an attorney will support you through the process to ensure you feel safe and prepared.
8. What if I don’t remember everything that happened?
Even if you don’t recall all the details, you may still have a case. If you were intoxicated, unconscious, or in shock, that does not mean the assault didn’t happen. An attorney can help gather evidence and build your case based on available records, such as Uber ride logs and law enforcement reports.
No. Uber cannot legally retaliate against survivors who take legal action. If you experience harassment or threats after filing, notify your attorney immediately.
Most Uber sexual assault attorneys work on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. They only get paid if you win your case, taking a percentage of your settlement or verdict.
First, speak with an experienced Uber sexual assault lawyer. They will:
