Get medical care for any injuries that you sustained. Consider getting a sexual assault forensic exam to collect evidence against the assailant.

Illinois also has support groups for sexual assault and abuse survivors.Â
Legal Remedies for Uber Sexual Assault Victims in Illinois
Sexual assault is a crime as well as a civil tort in Illinois. As a victim, this means you have the right to file a lawsuit against any party responsible for the offense committed against you. This may include the perpetrator as well as third parties, such as Uber. If Uber was negligent in a way that contributed to the assault, such as by failing to conduct a proper driver background check, it can be held responsible for your damages. A lawyer can help you explore your legal options.
