Rideshare Assaults

While rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft have made transportation more convenient, they’ve also introduced new safety risks. Companies often fail to adequately vet their drivers or respond to complaints of misconduct, putting riders in harm’s way.

Stueve Siegel Hanson has significant experience prosecuting cases against ridesharing companies. The firm filed a lawsuit against Uber on behalf of a young woman who was raped by her Uber driver. An investigation revealed that prior to the assault, the driver had been convicted of attempted murder and sentenced to 16 years in prison, and that other women had complained to Uber about the driver’s conduct. The case was reported on by The Verge, The Kansas City Star and media outlets from across the world. After more than 18 months of hard-fought litigation, the case was resolved to the mutual satisfaction of the parties.
