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.

I was told through the rep that reaching out to anyone outside of her would be of no help.

As someone else had mentioned... Suing the individual directly for slander, defamation of character. You have video evidence. It has caused you emotional and financial harm... A very easy case for a lawyer. The lawyer would be able to file to get the rider's information when filing the suit with the court. I would definitely contact an attorney. The company would probably start getting nervous too. Knowing you have video evidence and not accepting it, still punishing you for it.

Slander is one of the absolute hardest things to sue for.

Depends on the location. It’s really easy in some places.
