Uber Sexual Abuse Cases on the Rise

Sexual abuse connected to rideshare services like Uber is a serious and growing concern across the country, including here in Los Angeles. Reports and investigations have revealed thousands of incidents involving both passengers and drivers. Advocacy organizations have highlighted the scope of the problem, noting that sexual assaults connected to Uber rides occur with alarming frequency, with some reports calculating that one incident occurred every 8 minutes between 2017 and 2022.

For survivors of sexual abuse, it can feel isolating. You may wonder whether anyone else has experienced something similar, or whether what happened to you will be taken seriously. The truth is: many others have come forward, and their voices are helping to bring national attention to this issue.

Uber has faced increasing scrutiny for how it screens drivers, responds to complaints, and implements safety measures. Survivors and advocates continue to call for stronger protections, better reporting systems, and greater accountability.

At McGee Lerer Ogrin, we are proud to do our part to fight for real change by helping survivors take legal action.

How We Prepare Uber Sexual Abuse Claims

Cases involving sexual abuse during rideshare services are complex. They often involve multiple layers of responsibility, including the individual who caused the harm and the company that allowed the situation to occur or failed to stop it with reasonable precautions. Our law firm can handle every aspect of your claim with care and thoroughness, though, so you don’t need to worry about legal details.

Our approach to Uber sexual abuse claims filed in Los Angeles usually includes:

• Conducting a detailed investigation into what happened during the ride 
• Preserving evidence, including app data, ride history, and communications 
• Identifying failures in Uber’s safety procedures, such as inadequate background checks or failure to act on prior complaints 
• Working with third-party experts to understand industry standards and how they were violated 

In some cases, liability may involve more than just the individual involved in the assault. For example, Uber may be held accountable if it failed to properly vet a driver, ignored warning signs, or did not implement reasonable safety measures.

We understand how difficult it can be to revisit what happened. That’s why we take on the burden of gathering evidence and preparing your case, so you don’t have to do it alone.

Compensation Available in Uber Sexual Abuse Cases

No amount of compensation can undo what you’ve been through. However, pursuing a legal claim can provide financial support and a sense of justice.

Depending on your case, we may seek compensation for:

• Medical expenses, including emergency care, follow-up treatment, and therapy 
• Psychological counseling and trauma-related care
• Pain and suffering, including emotional distress and loss of well-being 
• Lost income or reduced earning capacity 
• Out-of-pocket costs related to the incident 

Every case is different. We will take the time to understand how this experience has affected your life and pursue compensation that reflects your unique circumstances.

Time Limits for Filing a Sexual Abuse Claim in California

California law provides extended time for survivors of sexual abuse to come forward. In many cases, you may have up to 10 years to file a civil claim, depending on when the abuse occurred and when it was discovered. While this extended statute of limitations offers important time to reflect as needed, it is still strongly recommended that you speak with an attorney as soon as you feel ready.

Acting sooner may allow us to:

• Preserve key evidence before it is lost
• Obtain accurate witness statements while memories are fresh
