Rideshare Nightmare:

About the Webinar

Rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft have become an integral part of public transportation, promising a safe way to get people from Point A to Point B. Unfortunately, they frequently fail to live up to that promise, often putting riders in the crosshairs of predatory drivers. All too often, female riders become victims of sexual assault, non-consentual touching, and rape as a result of systems that encourage the vulnerabilities of passengers with unvetted drivers and a lack of proper mechanisms to ensure passenger safety and report perpetrators to both the rideshare company and police. 

Law firms must consider taking on these important cases, not only to secure justice for victims but to help foster a safer rideshare industry. Litigating these claims and effectively corresponding with clients requires a trauma-informed approach from both attorneys and their support staff. 

In this webinar, SimplyConvert Director of Mass Torts Libby Vish speaks with Rachel Abrams, Co-Lead Plaintiffs Counsel in the Uber MDL and Partner at Peiffer Wolf Carr Kane Conway & Wise about:

• How Uber & Lyft’s skewed sexual assault classification system leads to inconsistent data in its transparency report.
• How the history and culture of the rideshare industry has created an atmosphere in which predators can take advantage of riders.
• An overview of the Uber MDL.
• How lawyers can get involved and the important considerations when taking on these cases.
