Uber, Lyft, Sexual Assaults, and Liability

According to data from the Rape, Abuse, Incest National Network (RAINN), one out of every six Americans has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime. Twenty-nine percent of victims were assaulted as they traveled to and from work, school, to shop, or run errands.

Sexual assault involves, but is not limited to:

• Nonconsensual touching
• Nonconsensual kissing
• Nonconsensual sexual penetration

Uber and Lyft safety reports contain statistics regarding sexual assaults, their criminal background check processes, and more. But, unfortunately, no matter their methods, it only takes one dangerous driver to slip through the cracks.

Uber and Lyft sexual assault lawsuits are complex legal matters. To win your case, you must prove negligence by the parties involved.

Proving negligence and liability is best left to a professional, qualified, Dallas Uber and Lyft sexual assault lawyer. Such lawyers understand how to approach rideshare cases best and whom to hold accountable when negligence occurs.

Rideshare drivers work as independent contractors. The terms and conditions of using a rideshare program can sometimes make a case challenging. It is for these reasons and the trauma you experienced that you need a lawyer by your side.

Sexual Assault Damages

A rideshare sexual assault lawyer will fight for compensation relating to your damages. Sexual assault victims suffer both economic and non-economic damages, such as:

• Medical bills
• Lost wages
• Lost earning capacity
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
• Psychological therapy and counseling costs
• Loss of enjoyment of life

This is not a complete list; rather, these are examples of the types of damages that typically result from an assault. Sexual assaults affect victims differently, and your damages may differ from another rideshare user’s experience.

The recovery period for sexual assault victims is often long and challenging. Having a lawyer by your side can help you feel more at ease as you deal with the aftermath of your assault.

If you are the victim of a sexual assault from an Uber or Lyft driver, immediately seek medical attention. Notify law enforcement and contact a Dallas Uber and Lyft sexual assault lawyer for help with your civil claim or lawsuit.
