A nationwide problem in rideshare safety

Uber and Lyft have each disclosed thousands of sexual-assault reports in their own U.S. safety reports, and advocates believe many survivors never come forward.

Lawsuits against rideshare companies often allege weak driver background checks, too little real-time monitoring, and poor responses to earlier complaints. Thousands of passenger claims against Uber have been consolidated in federal court (In re: Uber Technologies, Inc., Passenger Sexual Assault Litigation, MDL No. 3084, N.D. Cal.), and Lyft has faced similar lawsuits in several states.

5,981

reports in the five most serious sexual-assault categories on Uber in the U.S. in 2017–2018, from Uber's own safety report.

4,158

sexual-assault reports on Lyft in the U.S. in 2017–2019, from Lyft's first community safety report.

2,717

reports in the same five Uber categories in 2021–2022, from Uber's third safety report.

Figures are nationwide and come from the companies' own U.S. safety reports. They count reports, not proven incidents. Rights and deadlines differ from state to state.

How it works

Three simple steps

Getting a free review takes a few minutes, and you decide what happens next.

  1. 01

    Answer a few questions

    Our evaluation assistant asks which platform was involved, whether a report was filed, and whether you already have a lawyer.

  2. 02

    Share how to reach you

    If you choose to continue, add your contact details so someone can follow up privately.

  3. 03

    Talk with a participating attorney

    A participating attorney or their intake team may contact you to talk through your options. There is no obligation.

What to expect

Here for you, every step of the way

  • Private and judgment-free

    Your story is confidential. Asking for a review is free, and you decide whether to move forward.

  • A network of participating attorneys

    Your information goes to a participating attorney who handles rideshare sexual assault matters in your state and understands what survivors go through.

  • No cost to get a review

    There is no charge to submit your information or have your situation reviewed. These cases are usually handled on a contingency-fee basis: you pay no attorney fee unless there is a recovery. Fee terms and case costs vary, so ask the attorney and read the agreement before you sign.

Who we are

An advertising and referral service, not a law firm

RideJustice USA is operated by TFT Legal Service, an attorney advertising and referral service. We do not give legal advice. When you ask for a review, your information is shared with a participating attorney or law firm, who decides whether to offer representation.

Cases may be referred to, or jointly handled with, participating attorneys licensed in the state where the claim would be brought.

Submitting information does not create an attorney-client relationship. No outcome is guaranteed, and every case is different.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about how this works. If you are unsure about anything, ask the attorney before you sign.

Is this a law firm?

No. RideJustice USA is an attorney advertising and referral service operated by TFT Legal Service. We are not a law firm and do not give legal advice. If you ask for a review, your information is shared with a participating attorney or law firm, who decides whether to offer representation.

Which states does this website cover?

This website is not for incidents that occurred in California or Colorado, or that a California or Colorado court would have jurisdiction over. If the incident happened in California, please visit justice-pathway.com (RideJustice CA). Colorado incidents are not handled through this website.

Does it cost anything to find out if I have a case?

No. Submitting your information and having your situation reviewed is free. Rideshare sexual assault cases are usually handled on a contingency-fee basis, which means you pay no attorney fee unless there is a recovery. Case costs and fee terms vary, so ask the attorney and read any agreement before signing.

Is my information kept private?

Your information is used to evaluate your request and is shared only with participating attorneys and the service providers who help us run this website, as described in our Privacy Policy. Submitting information does not create an attorney-client relationship.

What if I never reported it to the police or the rideshare company?

Many survivors never make a report. The evaluation asks whether a report was filed, but there are no wrong answers. A participating attorney can talk with you about what your options may be.

Is there a deadline?

Usually, yes. Every state sets time limits (statutes of limitations) for filing a claim, and they depend on the facts. If you are considering a claim, it is a good idea to ask an attorney soon.

What happens after I answer the questions?

If you choose to share your contact details, someone from a participating law firm or its intake team may contact you by phone, text, or email to learn more. You decide whether to continue. No outcome is guaranteed.
