Civil claims against Uber and Lyft are complex and require attorneys who understand rideshare company liability. Phoong Law fights for survivors.

Rideshare Sexual Assault Claims in Reno

Rideshare sexual assaults occur when drivers use their position of trust and control to assault passengers. These incidents are particularly traumatic because passengers are in a confined space with a stranger they trusted through the platform. Reno’s casino and tourism industry, special events, and nightlife mean many residents and visitors rely on rideshare services, especially late at night.

Both Uber and Lyft have faced lawsuits for inadequate driver screening, failure to act on complaints, and insufficient safety measures. Nevada law allows survivors to pursue civil claims against the rideshare companies in addition to the individual driver. Phoong Law provides trauma informed representation for rideshare assault survivors.

Rideshare sexual assault claims can result in substantial compensation given the severe emotional harm and the corporate liability of companies that failed to protect passengers. These cases hold both the driver and the rideshare company accountable.
