Passenger Safety and Rideshare Driver Lawsuits

Passenger safety is another issue that is a growing concern that leads to rideshare drivers lawsuits. Lawsuits have arisen because of unsafe driving, assault by rideshare drivers, or because rideshare drivers were not properly background checked, to name a few. It's important for passengers to understand that rideshare platforms are legally required to provide some safety standards and if there is a safety breach - it's a good idea to document the event, and then make the report right away. For drivers, there are several things they can do to eliminate the chances of being embroiled in some type of lawsuit that could adversely affect their career. It's important for drivers to maintain a clean driving record, follow safety standards, and be honest and transparent with passengers.
