Our Practice Areas: How We Can Help Uber Sexual Assault Victims
Expert Uber Sexual Assault Lawyer in NYC
New York City’s bustling nightlife and massive rideshare usage create conditions where sexual assaults may occur. With millions of Uber rides taken monthly across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island, NYC represents one of the largest markets where these unfortunate incidents happen.
The NYPD has investigated numerous rideshare sexual assault reports, and Uber’s own safety data shows thousands of assaults occur nationwide each year. In NYC’s dense urban environment, late-night rides from nightlife hotspots in neighborhoods like the East Village, Williamsburg, and Hell’s Kitchen present heightened risks where predatory drivers may exploit vulnerable passengers. NYC’s Taxi & Limousine Commission requires fingerprint-based background checks for all for-hire drivers, yet assaults still occur. This is often because companies like Uber fail to properly investigate complaints or ignore red flags about dangerous drivers.
No matter what type of rideshare assault you’ve survived, The Law Offices of Eric Richman are ready to fight for the justice and compensation you deserve.
