It Was Not Your Fault: Understanding Your Options
If you were assaulted during a rideshare, please hear this first: it was not your fault. Whatever you did or did not do, however you responded, none of it changes that. This is a gentle overview of the options you have — no pressure, and entirely at your pace.
You are in control
Whether, when, and how to act is entirely up to you. Reaching out for information does not commit you to anything, and there is no judgment here — only support and honest answers when you want them.
A civil claim is separate from the police
A civil claim is separate from any criminal case. You do not need to have reported it, and you do not need charges or a conviction, to pursue one. It exists to hold the responsible parties accountable and to support your recovery.
A company may share responsibility
A claim can look beyond the individual to the rideshare company, where its own choices about screening, complaints, or safety helped enable the harm. Establishing that is our work, handled discreetly, not yours to carry.
Your privacy is protected
Privacy is a top priority. Survivors can often pursue a claim while keeping their identity out of the public record, and everything you share is confidential. A free, confidential conversation can explain what is possible for you.
Frequently asked questions
I am not sure I want to do anything yet. Is that okay?
Completely. There is no pressure and no deadline to decide anything today. You can simply have a confidential conversation to understand your options, and take any step only if and when you are ready.
