The short answer

What does Uber’s report measure?
Uber’s third US safety report covers reports received for 2021–2022. It includes riders and drivers. It is company data, not a study of patients. [5]
Does a reported incident establish fault?
Uber says it does not decide whether reported events happened. A report entry does not prove fault in your claim. Your account and records need their own review. [5]
Can I use these numbers for Lyft?
This Uber report gives no Lyft data. Lyft has a separate court case. Check each service against its own source. [2]
What does the report mean for my records?
The report gives context; it does not decide your claim. A civil case may involve requests for records. Ask which details about your ride the lawyer needs. [5]

The process

What happens next

  1. 01

    You answer a few questions

    About two minutes. Nothing is sent until you agree on the last step and press submit.

  2. 02

    A lawyer looks at it

    A lawyer at the firm reads your answers and checks them against the current case criteria.

  3. 03

    The firm decides and gets in touch

    If the firm takes your case, you get the terms in writing to read before you sign. You can always say no.

What does Uber’s report measure?

Uber’s third US safety report covers reports received for 2021–2022. It includes riders and drivers. It is company data, not a study of patients.

Check the platform, reporting period and group before repeating a number. A count for one period should not be presented as a current count of all survivors or lawsuits. Ask to see the original definition beside any statistic.

Does a reported incident establish fault?

Uber says it does not decide whether reported events happened. A report entry does not prove fault in your claim. Your account and records need their own review.

If you made a company report, keep your copy and any response you received. Ask a lawyer what the record shows and what it leaves open. Avoid treating a receipt of a report as agreement with its contents.

Can I use these numbers for Lyft?

This Uber report gives no Lyft data. Lyft has a separate court case. Check each service against its own source.

Keep the provider named in the headline and the provider in the source aligned. A combined rideshare total would need its own compatible definitions and documented method. This page does not create such a total.

What does the report mean for my records?

The report gives context; it does not decide your claim. A civil case may involve requests for records. Ask which details about your ride the lawyer needs.

Write down whether a number came from the company report, a court docket or a personal record. Those sources answer different questions. Ask for a plain explanation when a presentation blurs them together.

Which report page should I bring to a lawyer?

Save the report’s dates and what the count means. Say if it is about your report or Uber’s wider data.

Does reviewing a company report mean a firm represents me?

Ask if the firm agreed to check your actual ride claim. Talking about a number does not explain the work or fees it offers.

The review is free and private. Asking for it doesn’t commit you to anything.
