Both drivers and riders are regularly made victims of rideshare-related sexual assaults. Due to Uber and Lyft’s process of only going back seven years to investigate criminal records, sometimes offenders are allowed to drive for the companies despite having a record. These and other instances of negligence may mean Uber and Lyft are partially responsible for your assault. Learn more about Lyft and Uber sexual assault.

Physical assaults also occur in rideshare services. These can result in injury, death or trauma. Shootings, carjackings, abductions and kidnappings have all occurred in rideshares. Victims can be passengers or drivers. Depending on the state the assault occurs in, different statutes of limitations can impact timelines for filing lawsuits related to physical assault.
