Determine Whether You
Have a Claim

Riders trust rideshare services to provide safe transportation.  When a rideshare company betrays that trust and the company’s driver commits sexual assault, harassment, or other misconduct, the survivor often endures profound and lasting trauma.

Nadler Nelson provides survivors with a path to hold the rideshare company accountable.  Civil lawsuits can hold both the individual perpetrator and the rideshare company responsible where failures in screening, supervision, or safety practices contributed to the harm.

Behaviors forming the basis of liability can include conduct such as:

  • Nonconsensual touching
  • Nonconsensual sexual penetration
  • Attempted nonconsensual sexual penetration
  • Potentially other unwelcome, threatening, or uncomfortable behaviors 
  • Any of the above behaviors, which may occur during the ride, pick-up, drop-off, or immediately after a ride

Our team of attorneys understands that recalling and discussing the details of these violations can be both painful and difficult.  We are prepared to approach these sensitive conversations with the utmost care and to provide confidential guidance through the process.

Potential Liability of Rideshare Companies and Available Damages

Although each individual case may vary, rideshare companies may be legally responsible where negligence contributed to an assault. Each case often involves complex legal and factual issues, including corporate responsibility, background-check practices, and safety policies. 

Nadler Nelson will advocate for your ability to be fully compensated for both economic and non-economic damages. 

Potential recoverable amounts may include, among other things:

  • Medical treatment and therapy
  • Psychological counseling and trauma care
  • Lost income and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of enjoyment of life, etc.

This list is not exclusive but provides examples of the most common types of damages that typically occur following an assault.  Every case is different, and recovery depends on the facts and evidence involved.
