You deserve to be believed and in control
If you were assaulted during a rideshare, none of it was your fault, and you have not done anything wrong by seeking information. You are in control of what happens next — whether you have told anyone, filed a police report, or are only now considering your options. There is no pressure and no judgment here. Reaching out is simply a private conversation about what may be possible, on your terms and at your pace. Your safety, your privacy, and your comfort come first. Se habla español.
How a rideshare company may be responsible
A civil claim can look beyond the individual driver to the rideshare company itself. These companies make choices about who they put behind the wheel and how they respond to danger — driver screening and background checks, how they handle prior complaints, and what safety measures they provide. When those choices fell short and helped enable the harm, the company may share responsibility. Establishing that takes a careful, private investigation, which we handle so you do not have to relive it more than necessary.

Your rights and deadlines in New Mexico
In New Mexico, a survivor can pursue a civil claim regardless of whether a criminal case is filed or succeeds. Filing deadlines for survivor claims can differ from an ordinary injury case and may depend on the circumstances, and New Mexico courts may allow privacy protections in appropriate cases. Because these rules are specific, a confidential conversation is the best way to understand what applies to you and to protect your options.

New Mexico injury law: deadlines, fault and caps
New Mexico injury law gives families a longer window and some distinctive rules.
- Filing deadline: New Mexico gives you longer than most states — generally three years from the injury — with a 90-day notice deadline when a government entity is involved.
- Fault: New Mexico follows pure comparative negligence, so sharing some of the blame reduces your recovery rather than ending your claim.
- Damage caps: An ordinary New Mexico injury case is not capped; medical-malpractice and government claims have their own separate limits.
- Multiple defendants: New Mexico generally applies several liability, with some exceptions.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to have reported it to the police to have a claim?
No. A civil claim is separate from any criminal case, and you do not need to have filed a police report — or to have a conviction — to pursue one. Whether or not you reported it, and however much time has passed, it is worth a confidential conversation about your options.
Can I keep my identity private?
Protecting your privacy is a priority, and in many situations survivors can pursue a claim while keeping their identity out of the public record, such as by proceeding under a pseudonym. What is available depends on your state and circumstances, and we can explain it in a confidential conversation.
How much does it cost to talk to a lawyer about this?
Nothing. The initial conversation is free and completely confidential, and we handle these cases on a contingency basis, which means no fee unless we recover. Cost should never stand between you and understanding your options.
