Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are supposed to make getting around Las Vegas safer and easier—not put you at risk. But sexual assault and unwanted sexual contact can happen in a rideshare, during pickup or drop-off, or when a driver (or another rider) takes advantage of a vulnerable situation.
If you were sexually assaulted in an Uber, Lyft, or other rideshare in Las Vegas, you may have legal options beyond the criminal case. Moss Berg Injury Lawyers represents survivors in civil claims to pursue accountability and financial compensation for what you’ve endured.

Common Ways Rideshare Sexual Assault Happens
Sexual assault in rideshare settings can occur in many forms, including:
- A driver sexually assaults or gropes a passenger
- A passenger assaults another passenger in a shared ride
- The driver deviates from the route, locks doors, or isolates the rider
- The rider is intoxicated, asleep, or otherwise unable to consent
- Assault occurs during pickup/drop-off at hotels, casinos, clubs, or events on the Strip
No matter where it happened—Las Vegas Strip, Downtown, Summerlin, Henderson, North Las Vegas—your experience matters, and help is available.
Can You Sue Uber or Lyft After a Sexual Assault?
In many cases, yes—depending on the facts. While rideshare companies often argue a driver is an “independent contractor,” victims may still have civil claims involving:
- Negligent hiring, retention, or supervision
- Failure to conduct adequate background checks
- Failure to enforce safety policies
- App design or safety feature failures
- Prior complaints about the driver or account
- Inadequate response after reports of assault
Civil cases can also involve other responsible parties, such as third-party transportation companies, event venues, hotels, or property owners—depending on where and how the incident occurred.
Why Las Vegas Rideshare Assault Cases Are Unique
Las Vegas has heavy rideshare traffic around nightlife, conventions, and the Strip. Many cases involve visitors, late-night pickups, alcohol, unfamiliar routes, and quick driver turnover—conditions that can increase vulnerability and complicate evidence.
We understand how to build a case with a Las Vegas focus: local surveillance sources, high-traffic pickup zones, and the realities of hotels, casinos, and event venues.
