Lyft Faces Two Lawsuits Over Safety Failures | Durham News

Civil rights attorney Ben Crump is launching two major lawsuits against Lyft, alleging the company’s lax driver screening put lives at risk — one involving a sexual assault in Raleigh and another leading to the deaths of a Durham couple in Detroit after their driver allegedly sped recklessly. Crump argues Lyft failed in its duty of care, allowing drivers with troubling histories — including prior DWI convictions — to remain on the platform. The cases demand accountability, pushing for stricter background checks and holding rideshare giants responsible for passenger safety, not just profits.
