Liability Considerations in Los Angeles
Rideshare Sexual Assault in Los Angeles
Los Angeles processes millions of Uber and Lyft rides annually, with particularly high demand in the entertainment industry, at LAX, and in dense urban corridors. Both Uber and Lyft are headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, and the MDL proceedings are pending in the Northern District of California — making California a particularly favorable jurisdiction for rideshare assault civil claims. Survivors in Los Angeles can file in LA County Superior Court or in the federal MDL. California's 10-year SOL means survivors assaulted as recently as 2016 may still be within the filing window.
