Why Might I Need A Lyft Or Uber Lawyer?
Victims of rideshare assault are often left feeling powerless. Learning about their legal options and deciding how to hold their abusers accountable can help survivors take back control. Rideshare lawyers can help you get started.
Depending on the local laws and statutes, you may have several legal options to consider. A knowledgeable Uber or Lyft assault lawyer will help you determine which laws apply to your case. They can also keep you informed of any legal developments that might make it easier to file Uber lawsuits or Lyft lawsuits.
For instance, several states have passed laws expanding the legal deadlines for sexual offenses. These new laws give victims more time to process their experience and take legal action.
An Uber and Lyft sexual assault attorney will make sure you submit a civil lawsuit before the legal deadline passes.
