Uber & Lyft Accident & Sexual Assault Lawyers
Houston | Denver | San Antonio
If you were injured or assaulted during an Uber or Lyft ride, you are not dealing with a typical case. Rideshare claims involve corporate insurance policies, multiple layers of liability, and companies that move quickly to protect themselves.
At Roberts Markland LLP, we represent victims in Uber and Lyft accident and sexual assault cases across Houston, Denver, and San Antonio, holding drivers, companies, and insurers accountable.
Uber & Lyft Cases We Handle
We represent clients in all types of rideshare-related claims, including:
- Uber and Lyft car accidents
- Passenger injuries during rides
- Rideshare driver negligence
- Third-party driver liability
- Pedestrian and cyclist accidents
- Sexual assault and misconduct by rideshare drivers
These cases require immediate action and a legal strategy built around how rideshare companies operate.
Sexual Assault in Uber & Lyft Rides
Sexual assault in rideshare vehicles is a serious and growing issue. If you were assaulted by an Uber or Lyft driver, you may have a claim not only against the driver—but potentially against the company itself.
Rideshare companies have a responsibility to:
- Properly screen drivers
- Conduct background checks
- Respond to complaints and prior incidents
- Maintain safe conditions for passengers
When they fail to do this, they can be held legally responsible.
You May Have a Case If:
- A driver touched you inappropriately
- You were harassed, threatened, or assaulted during a ride
- The driver deviated from the route or locked doors
- You were incapacitated or unable to safely exit the vehicle
- There were prior complaints about the driver that were ignored
These cases are handled with discretion, urgency, and a focus on protecting your privacy.
What To Do After a Rideshare Sexual Assault
If you experienced sexual assault during an Uber or Lyft ride:
- Get to a safe location immediately
- Seek medical attention as soon as possible
- Report the incident through the app
- Preserve any evidence (clothing, messages, ride history)
- Avoid speaking with insurance companies or investigators alone
- Contact an attorney experienced in these cases
These cases are time-sensitive, and early action can make a significant difference.
Uber & Lyft Accident Claims
In addition to assault cases, we handle serious rideshare accident claims involving:
- High-impact collisions
- Multi-vehicle accidents
- Catastrophic injuries
- Wrongful death cases
Rideshare accident claims are complex because liability depends on what the driver was doing at the time of the crash.
How Uber & Lyft Insurance Works
Uber and Lyft provide different insurance coverage depending on driver status:
- App OFF → Personal insurance applies
- App ON (waiting for ride) → Limited coverage
- Ride accepted or passenger onboard → Up to $1 million in coverage
Insurance companies often dispute which coverage applies to reduce payouts. Our job is to identify every available policy and pursue full compensation.
Compensation Available
Victims of Uber and Lyft accidents or assaults may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical expenses
- Therapy and psychological care
- Lost income
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Long-term rehabilitation
Sexual assault cases often involve significant emotional and psychological damages in addition to physical harm.
