How to Protect Your Privacy
Concern about privacy is completely understandable, and there are real ways to protect it. Here is what can help.
Know that conversations are confidential
What you share with a lawyer is confidential from the start. You control the information and every decision that follows.
Ask about proceeding privately
In many situations survivors can pursue a claim while keeping their identity out of the public record, such as under a pseudonym. Ask what is available in your situation.
Decide who needs to know
You are in control of who is told and when. A good legal team works to keep the circle as small as you want it.
Be thoughtful about what you share online
It is generally wise to be careful about discussing the details publicly or on social media while any matter is ongoing.
Let your team handle the company
You should not have to communicate with a large rideshare company yourself. Your team can deal with them for you, shielding your privacy.
The deadlines and rules depend on your state
The steps above apply wherever you were hurt. Filing deadlines, fault rules, and limits on damages differ by state — pick yours for what applies to rideshare assault.
Not sure where you stand?
A quick, confidential review can tell you — about two minutes, no cost, no obligation.
This is general information, not legal advice. Every situation is different, and the law differs by state.
