Safe transportation for passengers is the goal of rideshare companies like Uber® and Lyft®. Ridesharing businesses may bear some of the culpability for the thousands of victims who have suffered from assaults by their drivers.

Over the past ten years, rideshare apps have become much more popular. Regrettably, this has also resulted in a rise in accusations of sexual assault on rideshare platforms, which has led to multiple lawsuits against Lyft and Uber.

Despite the fact that rideshare firms are aware of the abuse occurring on their platforms, victims contend that these businesses have not taken the essential safety procedures to safeguard their passengers.

3,824 sexual assaults happened during journeys between 2019 and 2020, according to a safety report Uber produced in 2022. Over 4,000 sexual assaults were reported between 2017 and 2019, according to a similar Lyft report.

In a ridesharing lawsuit, at least 17 victims of Lyft and 22 victims of Uber have claimed that their drivers have harassed and pursued them for unwelcome sexual contact.

How Passengers Are Failed by Rideshare Companies

It is the responsibility of businesses to provide a secure environment for ridesharing users. According to recent lawsuits, these firms could have avoided certain assaults during Uber and Lyft rides if they had conducted their due diligence and implemented more safety precautions.

Lawsuits from Lyft and Uber contend that the ridesharing businesses did not:

• Thoroughly screened drivers
• Make modifications to the safety design of their apps.
• Drivers who have abused passengers sexually should be removed.
• Address grievances raised by travelers.

Uber said that the "Safe Rides Fee" it introduced to its platform in 2014 would go toward background checks and training for drivers. Lawsuits assert that these costs were not applied to increase safety, nevertheless.
