Kidnapping and assaults occurring during Uber trips have become common news stories lately. Based on previous stories, we could only assume the kinds of complaints that Uber was getting, but now, Uber has revealed the severity and volume of its complaints over the past two years.

Uber received 5,981 claims of sexual assault in the U.S. in 2017 and 2018. While there were 2.3 billion Uber trips over those two years, making the number of sexual assaults just a fraction of a percent of total trips, that’s still too many for a service intended to get its customers from point A to point B safely. According to the report, over half of those accused were the drivers during the trip.

A car accident usually leaves you with injuries, some minor and others serious. In fact, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported nearly 2 million injuries from car accidents in 2017. About 80,000 of those injuries occurred in Illinois. Some of those accidents result in injuries that cause chronic pain that lasts for a long period of time. If you’ve been in a car accident in Chicago that resulted in chronic pain, you should seek compensation for your injuries and suffering.

Injuries can occur from all kinds of situations. A personal injury case stems from a serious injury caused by another person. Whether you’ve been in a serious car accident, experienced medical malpractice, or used a product that later turned out to be harmful, you could get injured from the negligence of another person. But you don’t always know you’re injured immediately after an accident. It can sometimes take weeks, months, or even years to realize you’ve been injured or developed a disease from an incident or product.

Getting people from Point A to Point B in the shortest amount of time possible allows people to get to their destinations more quickly and without strenuous activity. No one wants to climb 40 flights of stairs when they could simply use a machine that will do the job in less time and without the exertion. Two common devices that help with this are escalators and elevators. However, that isn’t to say that escalators and elevators are completely safe. When accidents do happen, they can cause significant injuries to innocent people. While fighting for your rights may not be an easy process, this is how you can move forward from the incident.
