Unfortunately, sexual assault continues to be a common incident in the rideshare industry. Although some might think that rideshare companies would’ve taken action by now to reduce the number of incidents, it seems like these incidents are at an all-time high. The worst part of this is that most victims of sexual assault at the hands of their rideshare drivers are not taking action against the drivers and the rideshare company – both due to a lack of information and a lack of accessibility to legal services.

Lyft Sexual Assault
Lyft drivers have easy access to their victims. Passengers get into Lyft rideshare vehicles with complete trust that they will be able to safely get to their destination. However, drivers could stop the vehicle at any point (whether it’s on the side of the road, at a parking lot, or any other remote area), lock unsuspecting passengers in, and sexually attack them. Sexual assault can come in many forms, including the following:
- Groping and all other unwanted touching
- Attempted rape
- Forcing the victim to perform any sexual acts
- Rape
Anyone who suffers sexual assault can be left with devastating injuries (both physical and emotional). Some possible harm resulting from Lyft sexual assault can include fractures, lacerations, internal injuries, injuries to reproductive system, injuries to genitals, depression, fear, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, etc.

Who Is Liable?
Who is liable for the sexual assault that Lyft passengers suffer at the hands of their drivers? Some might argue that Lyft has no way to control the actions of their drivers. However, Lyft could be liable for harm resulting from driver sexual assault – specifically based on actions that they could have taken prior to the incident. Lyft has a duty to ensure that their drivers have clean background checks; all drivers must pass a criminal background check. Additional background checks must be completed even after the driver was initially hired. This is common of many employers (they simply have to ensure that their personnel is clear to work with the public). Typically, employers have a duty to supervise their employees. Because of the nature of driving for Lyft, however, it is not really possible for drivers to be supervised. Rather, the company has to review any comments/allegations or reports made by passengers. If they fail to address existing allegations or reports of sexual assault, then they could be liable.
Were you sexually assaulted by your Lyft driver? If so, you could have grounds to hold Lyft liable for the harm that you suffered.

Lyft’s Insurance Policy
Everyone knows that Lyft, like other rideshare companies, carry large insurance policies – specifically million-dollar policies. These policies are designed to cover affected parties in the case of rideshare accidents, like auto accidents, pedestrian accidents, etc. Although there is no specific language surrounding sexual assault, it is important that affected parties remain optimistic – as they could still be entitled to a significant monetary compensation. For more information about whether your sexual assault could be covered by Lyft’s policy, how much your claim could be worth, or what you could potentially receive, do not hesitate to contact our experts immediately.

The Importance of a Spanish Speaking Lawyer
Depending on what you are looking for, specifically, you might find multiple lawyers that could claim to help you with your accident claim. However, if you are looking for representation in Spanish, the list of lawyers that could help you is likely to decrease significantly. Unfortunately, there is very few law firms that offer legal services completely in Spanish; this means that the Spanish speaking community – including those affected my Lyft sexual assault – are largely underrepresented.
