Attacks involving ridesharing have been reported, which raises severe questions regarding passenger safety. There have been reports of physical assaults, harassment, and robberies carried out by rideshare drivers, leaving the victims traumatized and in need of legal support to seek the proper remedies.
Although ride-sharing businesses like Uber and Lyft assert that they are technological platforms that connect drivers and riders, they also have obligations with regard to passenger safety. A duty of care that rideshare providers have to their customers involves making a reasonable effort to keep them safe during the whole trip. This obligation includes procedures for early reporting and handling of driver misbehavior as well as rigorous background checks on drivers. If you feel that your Uber or Lyft driver was dangerous or made you feel uncomfortable, you should immediately contact the rideshare company and inform them of the incident that you encountered. If you were injured from the encounter, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
