Uber and Lyft Failed to Protect Texas Passengers
Our team of Texas Uber and Lyft sexual assault attorneys have represented thousands of victims of dangerous consumer products. In doing so, we have recovered millions of dollars in settlement funds on their behalf.
However, we only pursue compensation from rideshare companies and their affiliates, and do not file claims against our clients’ assailant, employer or medical providers.
No Legal Fee Unless You Obtain a Settlement
While compensation may be available to qualified rideshare claimants, victims are urged to act promptly. The #1 claim Texas Uber and Lyft passengers can make for sexual assault compensation is one filed within the Statute of Limitations.
Our Texas Uber and Lyft sexual assault lawyers are available to review claims now. We offer a free case evaluation to confirm the use of a qualified rideshare company and the occurrence of a related assault. Further, we never charge a legal fee unless a financial recovery is obtained for our client.
