What is a rideshare endangerment lawsuit?
This is a legal case where a passenger sues a rideshare company like Uber or Lyft, typically alleging that the company’s actions or inactions directly or indirectly led to their harm or endangerment. These lawsuits often claim that the company failed in its duty of care—for example, by Negligent Hiring or Retention, inadequate safety measures, or failure to act on prior complaint.
With a growing number of passengers experiencing similar abuse, legal teams have sought to unite plaintiffs in order to address systemic oversight & mismanagement, and recover compensation for victims’ physical and emotional damage.
