Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft offer a great deal of convenience to their users, and these services have expanded rapidly in recent years. However, the lack of regulations and oversight for these services has led to a sharp increase in the number of people who are harmed by rideshare drivers. The screening and background check processes that Uber and Lyft use for their drivers have been widely criticized as inadequate, and news stories appear all too often about people who have been sexually assaulted or robbed by drivers who have passed the screening process.At Tomasik Kotin Kasserman, we represent those who have been injured in incidents involving rideshare drivers. Whether you have been directly harmed by an assault or robbery or have been injured in an accident caused by a negligent Uber or Lyft driver, we can help you pursue compensation for your damages from the people and companies who were responsible.
