The convenience of Uber and Lyft and the rise in popularity of rideshare companies like them come with hidden dangers, especially for passengers who have suffered sexual assault, harassment, or abuse at the hands of drivers. Sadly, throughout the country, these companies have repeatedly failed to implement strong safety measures, putting passengers at risk. At Phillips Law Group, we stand with survivors, demanding accountability from Uber, Lyft, and other rideshare giants that prioritize profits over passenger protection. Currently, we are investigating Uber/Lyft/rideshare sexual abuse in Massachusetts.

How Rideshare Companies May Endanger Passengers

Despite claims of rigorous background checks, there are far too many cases of rideshare companies continuing to employ drivers with histories of violence, sexual misconduct, or criminal behavior. Many sexual assaults involving rideshare vehicles occur because Uber and Lyft fail to properly vet drivers – relying on incomplete background checks that miss red flags – or ignore passenger complaints, which results in predatory drivers staying on the road and continuing to endanger other passengers.

Survivors of sexual abuse often suffer in silence, fearing disbelief or retaliation. But these companies must be held responsible for their negligence, and Phillips Law Group can help.

Pursuing an Uber/Lyft/Rideshare Sexual Abuse in Massachusetts Legal Claim

Survivors of rideshare sexual assault may be able to pursue legal action against both the driver and the company that enabled the abuse. Uber and Lyft have a legal duty to ensure passenger safety, and when they cut corners, they must be held accountable.

If you or a loved one was harmed via sexual assault while utilizing a rideshare service and the rideshare company ignored warning signs about a dangerous driver or didn’t implement safety measures such as in-app emergency buttons or real-time monitoring, they may be held liable. Seeking justice in these cases can happen through an Uber/Lyft/rideshare sexual abuse claim.
