People who have been assaulted during a rideshare trip tend to put off getting help for one reason: they don’t know what asking will involve. Will they have to tell the story in detail? Will someone pressure them? Will it cost anything? This is a straightforward answer to each of those.
Who you're talking to
Direct2Attorney is a legal marketing and referral service, not a law firm. Our intake team’s job is to listen, confirm a few basic facts, and — if it appears to fit — connect you with an independent participating law firm that handles rideshare assault claims. If you decide to work with that firm, the attorney-client relationship is with them. We are upfront about this because you should always know exactly who is handling your case.
What we ask, and what we don't
We will ask
Screening basics- Which platform (Uber, Lyft, other)
- Roughly when and in what state
- Whether you were a rider or a driver
- Whether any report was made — app, police, or none
We will not ask
Not at this stage- For a detailed account of the assault
- For proof or documents up front
- You to commit to anything
- For any payment, ever
The three steps
Contact us. A short form or a call to our 24/7 line. You can say as little as "I was assaulted by a rideshare driver and want to know my options."
We check the fit. Your details are compared against what participating firms are currently accepting: platform, timing, state, and the nature of the incident. This is screening, not legal advice.
A firm reaches out — or we tell you it doesn't fit. If it appears to qualify, a participating law firm contacts you directly and confidentially. Whether you proceed is entirely your decision.
More than 4,300 riders have filed federal claims against Uber alone. The first jury verdict this year was $8.5 million. Coming forward is no longer unusual; it is the norm.
Direct2Attorney · How It WorksPrivacy, plainly
Intake is encrypted. Every submission is recorded with a TrustedForm consent certificate. Your information is shared only with participating law firms and the vendors needed to evaluate your request, as permitted by law, and you have clear opt-out and do-not-sell rights under our Privacy Policy. Courts in these cases have routinely allowed survivors to proceed under pseudonyms; a participating firm can explain what protections apply.
Cost
The review is free. Participating law firms in rideshare assault matters typically work on contingency, meaning legal fees are generally paid only if there is a recovery. If there is no recovery, you typically owe no attorney’s fees. Ask the firm to confirm its fee terms in writing before signing anything.
What this means if you're considering a claim
You are not obligated to remember every detail, to have reported it, or to be ready to talk about it at length. You only need to be willing to find out whether a claim exists. That is what the review is for.

Common Questions
Yes. A family member or friend can start the process, though the participating firm will need to speak with you directly before anything moves forward.
Driver claims are reviewed as well. Mention it when you contact us.
No. Nothing is disclosed to any company by requesting a review.
Claims in the litigation range from harassment and unwanted touching to rape. Let the firm evaluate it rather than deciding in advance.
No. We are a referral service. Submitting a form does not create an attorney-client relationship; that forms only if a participating firm signs an agreement with you.
