Sexually Assaulted by an Uber Driver in Foreign Country – Do I Have a Case?

Your Right to Sue

Can you sue if you were sexually assaulted by an Uber driver in a foreign country? Yes, you could have grounds to sue. You could sue Uber if you were assaulted by one of their drivers during a trip. Your right to sue Uber for sexual assault is based on the fact that Uber, like other rideshare companies, has a duty to guarantee that all their drivers are completely cleared to drive passengers around. That is, they have to subject both prospective drivers and existing drivers to background checks as well as making sure that they act appropriately when any reports are made against their drivers.

By failing to ensure that their drivers are all-clear to drive passengers, they are putting innocent passengers at risk of sexual assault and other incidents – and they could be sued for any resulting harm.
