How Do I Know if I Was Assaulted? What Exactly is Sexual Assault?
Women Are Commonly Assaulted After a Night of Drinking
If a woman is intoxicated, she cannot consent to sex. It is that simple. Black and white. In order for sex to be lawful, both parties must be able to give consent. Anyone who is passed out, partially conscious, or in the least bit intoxicated cannot consent to sex. In order to give consent an audible response must be given. The inability to say, “no” is automatically considered to be a clear case of not giving consent. When you bring a case against Lyft for the actions of their drivers, you help us hold those who violated your rights accountable.
The Consequences of Drinking and Driving Can be Fatal
In our experience, the primary reason people hire a Lyft is to avoid driving while intoxicated. Ridesharing companies use this as a reason to hire their services. It has become generally encouraged for people to call a Lyft if they have been drinking Lyft advertises themselves as a safe alternative to driving after having a fun night out, drinking with friends.
Unfortunately, many who make the right choice of hiring a Lyft instead of driving, are then taken advantage of by unscrupulous drivers that prey on vulnerable woman. The only repercussion someone should face after a night out on the town is a hangover. It is a crime to have to face the life-shattering fallout of a sexual assault.
If you were assaulted while impaired or passed out, we can help you seek justice. Just because you had been drinking, does not make this your fault.
Standing Up Against These Criminals Can Stop Sexual Predators
Sexual predators are like serial killers. They will continue to assault innocent victims until they are stopped. They often times choose jobs that allow them easy access to people that they can prey upon. These monsters may go on to harm countless lives before they are caught. It is natural to be fearful, confused, shameful, or feel at fault. But to remain silent will not break the cycle of violence. When you hold one of these predators accountable, you can break the chain of abuse. Lyft does not care about anything other than their stock price. Hold them accountable for the crime they have committed against you by hiring the beast that changed your life forever.
Take Back Control of Your Life
Only you can decide to hold Lyft and your assailant accountable for shattering your life.
Help Force Lyft to Protect Their Passengers
Some corporations are driven by one thing: the bottom line. While Lyft says they are concerned with protecting their customers, their actions tell another story. We know that the only effective way to get change in the way Lyft operates is by hitting them in the pocketbook.
There are many steps that Lyft could take to protect their passengers, but they simply choose not to. They could have a more rigorous screening process for their drivers. They could offer better training for their drivers, and more safeguards to protect their passengers. They could take more steps to prevent these assaults, but they do not.
