But as demand for these services rises, so does anxiety over passengers’ safety.

This article tries to clarify the legal possibilities open to persons who have encountered such gruesome events and why getting in touch with our law company, Ovadia Law Group, might be essential in pursuing justice and compensation.
As rideshare services continue to grow in popularity, reports of drivers abusing passengers have surfaced. These assaults can happen in a number of ways, such as physical harm, sexual harassment, or even kidnapping. Such horrific actions frequently result in severe physical, emotional, and psychological anguish for the victims, who also suffer severe effects on their quality of life. If you have gone through this, you should consider filling out our free online case evaluation form.
It is important and necessary that these rideshare companies take as many precautions as possible to ensure the safety of the individuals who use their application. They require drivers to undergo background checks, which include their driving record and criminal history. But many wonder if there could be more measures taken to ensure the safety of the passengers of these applications. But passengers should take measures to ensure their own safety, such as letting someone know where they are or even sharing their live location so someone can track their Uber or Lyft ride.
A passenger should consider informing the driver that someone has their live location or is waiting for them at their destination. This might deter the driver away from any bad or unsafe decisions they might have been contemplating. Passengers should also share the driver’s information, including their license plate and car make and model. Whatever is listed in the application, you could screenshot for your own safety and as proof in case any incident happens. We have other tips our team at Ovadia Law Group can provide to you.
