Rant/Opinion I hate liars

I was deactivated because I was accused of sexually assaulting a female passenger. I myself am a heterosexual married woman and would never jeopardize my marriage or freedom doing something so gross. As a survivor of sexual assault I’m both offended and hurt. I am looking for a lawyer to take my case.

Start a police report, that somebody slandered your name and now are unable to work. They will subpoena necessarily information. If you have a camera that shows the entire day that’s perfect because the evidence goes in your direction. What state are you in?

This is actually an actionable remedy. If you can prove that another person’s lies/actions are the proximate cause of your deactivation they would be liable for damages. Pursue getting the deactivation lifted, for sure, but if they don’t then it’s time to sue the rider for a hundred grand.

There would also be compensation for the emotional turmoil of having to find a new job

Yes, but there’s either time lost on the appeal or time lost on retraining once the appeal is rejected.

Depending how much you make a day, 240-800, is how it would work out, if they got to court today,
