- Accounts for medical care, counseling, PTSD or anxiety treatment, lost pay and effects on daily life.

Estimate Your Rideshare Assault Claim
Answer only what you feel comfortable sharing. The tool sorts incident, evidence, treatment and damages details into an educational estimate.
Who Should Consider a Rideshare Sexual Assault Case Review?
Every claim depends on its facts. An attorney may look at whether the incident was tied to a rideshare trip, who was responsible for the misconduct, what the company knew or should have known, which safety and screening practices were in place, what evidence exists, the harm suffered and the filing rules that apply.
Circumstances That May Warrant a Closer Look
- Rape, sexual assault, sexual battery, groping or other unwanted sexual contact connected to an Uber or Lyft ride
- A trip receipt, the driver’s identity, messages, screenshots, a report to the platform or location data
- Police, medical, SANE, therapy, counseling or other records made around the time of the incident
- Documented PTSD, anxiety, depression, physical injury, lost pay or serious disruption to daily life
- Evidence about the driver’s background, earlier complaints, screening or how the company responded
Situations That Need More Individual Analysis
- The incident happened outside an active trip or involved someone other than the driver
- The incident was reported later or there is little documentation from the time
- Trip records are missing or the driver’s identity is uncertain
- The link between the claimed harm and the incident is unclear
- Questions about filing deadlines, jurisdiction or particular defendants

What Shapes an Uber or Lyft Sexual Assault Payout?
Incident Severity
What happened — including force, threats, being confined and the injuries that followed — can significantly influence damages.
Evidence Strength
Trip data, messages, company reports, medical records, witnesses and records made at the time can affect what can be proven.
Physical & Emotional Harm
Counseling, PTSD, anxiety, depression, physical injuries, medication and future care may influence documented damages.
What the Company Knew & Did
The driver’s history, earlier complaints, screening, monitoring, safety measures and how reports were handled may bear on the legal theories.
Economic Loss
Missed income, medical bills, relocation, security, disrupted schooling and future treatment may affect what can be recovered.
Governing Law, Defenses & Deadlines
The state law that applies, venue, limitation periods, disputes over causation and defenses specific to each defendant can change value considerably.
Uber MDL 3084 and Lyft MDL 3171 Are Two Different Proceedings
Earlier versions of this calculator covered the Uber litigation but predated the Lyft consolidation. As of 2026, there are two distinct federal rideshare sexual-assault MDLs, both in the Northern District of California.
Uber — MDL 3084
In re: Uber Technologies, Inc., Passenger Sexual Assault Litigation (case 3:23-md-03084-CRB) is before Judge Charles R. Breyer in San Francisco, where case management and discovery remain active in 2026.
Official Uber MDL page →Lyft — MDL 3171
In re: Lyft, Inc. Passenger Sexual Assault Litigation (case 3:26-md-03171-RFL) was centralized in the Northern District of California on February 5, 2026, before Judge Rita F. Lin.
Official Lyft MDL page →Filing Deadlines for Uber and Lyft Sexual Assault Claims
No single nationwide deadline governs every Uber or Lyft sexual assault claim. Time limits may turn on the state, the survivor’s age, when the incident occurred, discovery rules, the defendant, earlier proceedings and special survivor or revival laws.

Rideshare Sexual Assault Settlement FAQs
What does this calculator estimate?
It sorts details like incident severity, trip evidence, reporting, treatment, emotional harm and financial loss into an educational range.
Can I use it without a police report?
Yes. A police report may help, but a claim review can also rely on trip data, company reports, medical or counseling records, screenshots, witnesses and other evidence.

No. Uber passenger sexual assault cases are in MDL 3084 before Judge Charles R. Breyer, while Lyft cases were separately centralized as MDL 3171 before Judge Rita F. Lin.
Does a civil claim require a criminal conviction?
Not necessarily. Civil lawsuits and criminal prosecutions follow different procedures and proof standards, and civil evidence is assessed under the law that applies.
Is the estimate guaranteed?
No. It’s for information only. Real outcomes may be lower, higher or nothing, depending on evidence, law, defenses, deadlines and an individual review.
Does using this page make me a client of an attorney?
No. Representation begins only when a licensed attorney accepts the case and the required engagement agreement is signed.
