Nineteen women sued Lyft this week, joining a growing list of people who say the popular ride-hailing service failed to prevent drivers from sexually assaulting them, then ignored the complaints. The lawsuit is the latest to accuse Lyft of failing to enact basic safety measures that would have prevented the alleged assaults. “It’s not just the fact that these sexual assaults happened. It’s about the cover-up,” said Michael Bomberger , a San Diego-based lawyer who filed the suit. He filed another lawsuit in September, when 14 women came forward to say they had been sexually assaulted by Lyft drivers.
