The Wagner Law Group, a national sexual abuse litigation firm, has announced nationwide representation for survivors of sexual assault during Uber rides and established a dedicated hotline at (833) 200-7111. This development comes as lawsuits against Uber continue to make national headlines, with the firm urging anyone harmed during an Uber ride to contact the hotline for a free, confidential consultation.
While Uber promotes itself as a safe transportation platform used by millions daily, a growing number of lawsuits allege serious misconduct by drivers and systemic safety failures within the company. Survivors report incidents including sexual assault, rape, sexual battery, false imprisonment, and non-consensual sexual contact during or immediately after Uber rides. The firm is actively investigating these cases and encourages victims to call the hotline to protect their rights.
Recent litigation has drawn significant attention, including a high-profile federal case where a jury found Uber liable in a sexual assault lawsuit and awarded millions to a survivor who alleged rape by an Uber driver. This case served as the first bellwether trial in a large federal multidistrict litigation involving thousands of Uber sexual assault claims. Legal experts believe this verdict could influence outcomes of many pending lawsuits nationwide. Criminal convictions involving Uber drivers have further highlighted the dangers some passengers face.
Many lawsuits allege not only driver misconduct but also corporate negligence by Uber itself. Claims frequently include allegations of inadequate background checks, failure to remove drivers after complaints, insufficient monitoring systems, and delayed responses to sexual assault reports. Although Uber classifies drivers as independent contractors, courts continue examining whether Uber may be held liable for negligent hiring, supervision, and retention. When a company profits from transporting vulnerable passengers, it has a duty to prioritize safety.
The Wagner Law Group has recovered over $300 million for sex abuse and accident victims and is prepared to pursue aggressive legal action against Uber where appropriate. Survivors who believe they have a claim should contact the hotline promptly to preserve evidence and protect legal rights. Many survivors hesitate to come forward due to trauma, fear, or privacy concerns, but the firm emphasizes that all calls are confidential and speaking with an attorney doesn't obligate filing a lawsuit.
Each claim is subject to a statute of limitations, and waiting too long may result in lost evidence, deleted ride records, or expired legal rights. Survivors are encouraged to act quickly and contact the Uber Sexual Assault Abuse Hotline at (833) 200-7111 for a free, confidential case evaluation.
