Help for Victims of Airbnb and VRBO Sexual Assaults

Were you attacked by a property owner or someone authorized by the property owner? We may be able to help.
Since its inception in 2008, Airbnb has revolutionized the hospitality industry, providing travelers with alternatives to traditional hotels, motels, and resorts. Property owners can list their vacant properties or spare rooms on the platform, offering unique stays to registered users. Similarly, VRBO has become a popular choice for travelers seeking vacation rentals. However, if you were physically or sexually assaulted during your stay by a host or their acquaintance, an Airbnb Sexual Assault Lawyer might be able to assist you.

What other sharing platforms might I be able to pursue a sexual assault lawsuit against?

Uber and Lyft

Ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft have transformed the way we travel, offering convenience and accessibility at the touch of a button. However, these platforms have also faced significant scrutiny over incidents of sexual assault involving drivers. Uber and Lyft may be held liable for such assaults due to inadequate driver background checks, failure to implement robust safety measures, and insufficient response to prior complaints. If you have been a victim of sexual assault while using a ride-sharing service, it's crucial to seek legal advice to understand your rights and potential avenues for compensation.

Knowing what to expect during the legal process can make taking the first step easier.Ā 

With The Carlson Law Firm, you can expect the following:

During your initial consultation, our legal team will review the details of your case, assess the viability of your claim, and explain your legal rights and options. This step involves gathering evidence such as medical records, police reports, and any communication with Airbnb or VRBO to build a strong case.

Your lawyer will file the lawsuit on your behalf, initiating the legal process. This is followed by the discovery phase, where both parties exchange evidence, take depositions, and gather testimonies to support their arguments. This phase is crucial for uncovering information about either company’s safety protocols and prior complaints against the host.

Many cases are resolved through settlement negotiations where your lawyer will aim to reach a fair compensation agreement with Airbnb or VRBO. If a settlement cannot be reached, the case will proceed to trial, where both sides present their arguments, and a judge or jury will determine the outcome based on the evidence presented.
