Consultation with a Tulsa OK Rideshare Assault Lawyer - Free Case Review at Carabin Shaw

In a city where the violent crime rate is higher than the national average, using a rideshare app to commute around Tulsa, Oklahoma is often viewed as a safer alternative to other forms of communal transit. Sadly, companies like Uber or Lyft commonly prioritize profit over safety, meaning their duty to uphold safety regulations is often neglected in favor of monetary gain.

If you or a loved one was recently injured during a physical attack while in a rideshare vehicle, the Tulsa OK rideshare injury attorneys at Carabin Shaw are here to help. Our trusted law firm will fight hard on behalf of rideshare passenger victims to ensure justice and compensation. Call 800-862-1260 to schedule your free case review.

Rideshare attacks are on the rise in Tulsa. If you have been the victim of an assault, as defined by Oklahoma State Law, get to safety as soon as you can. If you’re unsure of what to do next, here are some outlined steps that will help you in having a successful lawsuit.

1. Contact the local authorities.
2. Seek medical attention.
3. Collect any media and documentation you have from before, during, or after the assault.
4. Contact physical assault attorneys in Tulsa, Oklahoma for a consultation about next steps and legal options moving forward.

You are entitled to sue private rideshare companies like Lyft and Uber as well as public services like Tulsa’s own “Micro Transit” alike for damages if you have been assaulted during a ride.

Uber and Lyft both state clearly that they uphold a code of conduct for their drivers, which explicitly prohibits any violent behavior or history of violent behavior. If you have been attacked by a driver of a private rideshare company, you are not alone. The driver and company will both be held responsible for your assault, especially if the company overlooked a history of violent behavior before they hired the driver.

Our Tulsa Uber/Lyft assault attorneys at Carabin Shaw will go through the research process for you, help collect evidence, outline a strong legal strategy, and ensure that justice is attained.

If you were assaulted while using Tulsa’s Micro Transit service, your lawsuit will look a bit different. While you are still entitled to sue the individual driver, you will most likely be naming the Tulsa Metro Transit Authority as the responsible party.

Suing the MTTA for damages may require more documentation and may increase the likelihood that a third-party (neither the driver nor the company) will be named in addition to Tulsa Transit. Every case is unique, and because of this, we highly recommend that you consult a local rideshare assault lawyer, who can outline the specific needs of your case with you.
