The convenience of rideshare services like Uber and Lyft has become a staple in Kansas's larger metropolitan areas, including Wichita, Overland Park, and Kansas City. However, this convenience can sometimes mask serious risks. When sexual assault occurs during a rideshare, survivors face a unique set of legal challenges. Our firm is adept at navigating these complex claims, working tirelessly to hold rideshare companies and perpetrators accountable and secure justice for those affected in Kansas's most active urban centers.
When a rideshare driver commits sexual assault in Kansas, the survivor may have civil claims against the driver personally, Uber Technologies, Inc., and Lyft, Inc. for negligent hiring, inadequate background checks, and failure to protect passengers.
