What to Expect From an Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuit Settlement

For survivors of life-changing acts of violence, an Uber sexual assault lawsuit settlement represents justice, accountability, and the means to heal and move forward. Your physical, emotional, and financial recovery depends on receiving the full amount of compensation you’re entitled to. 

Attorney Justin Drazin and the team of compassionate lawyers at Drazin & Warshaw stand up for survivors of assault. Despite the frequency of sexual violence against Uber passengers, the multi-billion-dollar corporation tries its best to make sure that it’s not held responsible for drivers’ actions. It’s our mission to hold the rideshare giant accountable, and our launch of UberHurtMe.com—one of the nation’s leading resources for victims of Uber and Lyft crashes, violence, and sexual assault—speaks to our commitment to survivors of sexual assault.  

Types of Damages Addressed in Settlements for Uber Sexual Assault Claims

The purpose of an Uber sexual assault lawsuit settlement is to provide financial compensation to make you as whole as possible. No amount of money can ever erase the trauma you experienced, but through your claim, our attorneys will seek to recover compensation for: 

• Medical expenses, including hospital bills, physical therapy costs, and medication expenses
• Any future medical costs anticipated as a result of long-term injury or exposure
• Costs of mental health treatment, including ongoing counseling, therapy, or psychotropic medications 
• Any loss of income due to missed work or decreased future earning capacity
• Pain, suffering, and mental anguish
• Loss of enjoyment of life, including negative impacts on personal relationships

In assessing how much compensation you may be entitled to, make sure you consider the full impact of sexual assault on your life. 

Factors That Influence Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuit Settlement Amounts

Every sexual assault claim against Uber is unique. Factors that affect the value of your settlement include: 

• The nature of the assault
• The severity of your injuries and psychological impact of the trauma
• The extent of medical intervention required and other damages
• The strength of the evidence against Uber 

Survivors of Uber sexual assaults deserve maximum compensation for their losses. We document the severity of the assault and its impact on your life through medical records, the insights of licensed mental health practitioners, recovery journals, and medical and therapy bills.  

Preparing for the Negotiation Process

To successfully negotiate a fair Uber sexual assault lawsuit settlement, you need to:

• Manage interactions with the defendant and its insurer properly
• Document your damages thoroughly 
• Make a strong case for holding Uber liable for your losses 

You must have an idea what your claim could really be worth and present the strongest possible arguments in your favor. Be prepared for back-and-forth arguments and unreasonably low offers. 

The most effective step you can take to influence whether you receive the Uber sexual assault lawsuit settlement you deserve is retaining accomplished legal counsel with experience standing up to Uber. The attorneys at Drazin & Warshaw skillfully negotiate on your behalf—and as experienced litigators, we’re prepared to escalate your legal matter if negotiations fail.
