The Wagner Law Group has established a national hotline for survivors of sexual assault during Uber rides as lawsuits alleging driver misconduct and corporate negligence continue to surface, highlighting significant safety concerns within the rideshare industry.

The Wagner Law Group, a sexual abuse litigation firm that has recovered over $300 million for victims, is announcing nationwide representation for survivors of Uber sexual assault and urging victims to contact its dedicated hotline. This initiative comes as Uber sexual assault lawsuits continue to make national headlines, with the firm calling on anyone harmed during an Uber ride to seek a free and confidential consultation. While Uber promotes itself as a safe and convenient platform used by millions daily, a growing number of lawsuits allege serious misconduct by drivers and systemic safety failures within the company.
Recent Uber sexual assault litigation has drawn significant attention, particularly a high-profile federal case where a jury found Uber liable and awarded millions to a survivor who alleged rape by a driver. This case served as the first bellwether trial in a large federal multidistrict litigation involving thousands of claims, with legal experts noting its potential influence on pending lawsuits nationwide. Separate criminal convictions involving Uber drivers have further underscored the dangers passengers have faced. Public reporting has also revealed substantial numbers of sexual misconduct complaints received by Uber over recent years, according to firm representatives.
Many lawsuits allege not only driver misconduct but also corporate negligence by Uber itself, including inadequate background checks, failure to remove drivers after complaints, insufficient monitoring systems, and delayed responses to reports. Although Uber classifies drivers as independent contractors, courts continue to examine whether the company may be held liable for negligent hiring, supervision, and retention. The firm emphasizes that companies profiting from transporting vulnerable passengers have a duty to prioritize safety, and if Uber failed to implement adequate protections, survivors may have the right to pursue substantial compensation.
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 are encouraged to contact the hotline to preserve evidence and protect their legal rights, as each claim is subject to a statute of limitations that may result in lost evidence or expired rights if action is delayed. The firm acknowledges that many survivors hesitate to come forward due to trauma, fear, or privacy concerns but emphasizes that all hotline calls are confidential and speaking with an attorney does not obligate filing a lawsuit.
