What Is the Lawsuit About?
Thousands of women have reported being sexually harassed or abused by a rideshare driver after trusting the companies’ claims that their service provides a safe means of transportation. Claims range from unwanted touching to rape. Victims are accusing Uber and Lyft of having flawed and inappropriate background check systems and allowing people with serious criminal histories to work as drivers, including some with a sex offender history. The companies have not been helpful when it comes to assisting law enforcement in investigations of sexual assault claims against their drivers. Lyft is also being sued by more than 20 women who trusted the company to be a safe mode of transportation and were assaulted by their driver. Lyft has not released a report detailing the number of sexual harassment claims the company received. The company has even allowed an accused driver to continue working after being reported.

Why The Angell Law Firm Wants to Help
Thousands of women trust their rideshare drivers to take them to their destination safely. Rideshare companies advertise they offer safe transportation and background checked drivers, when in reality they have flawed background check systems and mishandle assault claims, allowing sex offenders to sign up as drivers and continue working even after they were accused. Rideshare companies need to respond for their negligence and for endangering passengers.
