Uber and other rideshare services have become a staple of daily transportation throughout New Jersey. But while these companies offer convenience, they’ve also been linked to increasing reports of sexual abuse and misconduct by drivers. If you or someone you love was sexually assaulted during or after an Uber ride, you may have legal grounds to file a civil lawsuit for justice and compensation.
Survivors of Uber sexual assault in New Jersey often suffer emotional trauma, physical injuries, and lasting psychological damage. In many cases, these incidents are preventable and occur due to Uber’s failure to properly screen drivers, respond to complaints, or implement adequate passenger safety measures.
Our New Jersey Uber sexual abuse lawyers are here to stand beside survivors. We help clients pursue civil claims against negligent drivers and the rideshare companies that failed to protect them. A civil lawsuit allows survivors to seek financial compensation for:
Medical expenses and counseling
Emotional distress and psychological trauma
Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Punitive damages in cases of gross negligence
Uber may be held liable for failing to conduct proper background checks, not acting on prior misconduct reports, or neglecting passenger safety features. Survivors can also file legal claims against drivers and any third parties that contributed to the incident.
If you or a loved one has experienced an assault involving an Uber driver in New Jersey, take these steps:
Get to a safe location immediately.
