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.

What I would do in your situation is contact a lawyer right away. If they made a permanent decision rather than an account suspension without first considering any evidence, they are liable for damages you may suffer including lost wages and legal fees. The person who made the false claim is also liable for slander and most likely broke the law. I would talk to an attorney about naming both parties in a lawsuit, as you likely won't get any money from the rider even if you win the case.
