How to plan screening criteria, monthly case volume and pricing for a national Uber and Lyft sexual assault program.
Growing a rideshare sexual assault docket is not about buying as many inquiries as possible. It is about building a predictable pipeline of cases that match your standards, at a volume your firm can handle and at a price that makes sense for your practice.
Here is a practical framework for planning a national program.
Your screening criteria are the foundation of the program. The clearer they are, the better your files will be. Consider:
· Platform. Uber, Lyft or both.
· Nature of the assault. The types of sexual assault your firm will evaluate.
· Timing. Any limits on when the incident occurred.
· Documentation. Whether you require trip receipts, app records or reports, or will evaluate cases without them.
· Representation status. Excluding survivors who are already represented.
Nexus Legal Group's program is limited to sexual assault connected to Uber or Lyft rides. Accidents and harassment-only matters are outside the program entirely, so your criteria start from a focused base.
Volume should match your capacity, not your ambition. Ask how many new files your attorneys can evaluate each month, how many clients your team can communicate with on an ongoing basis and how your docket fits alongside other mass tort commitments.
Many firms start with a pilot allocation, evaluate file quality and conversion, then scale. A national program lets you increase volume without being limited to a handful of markets.
Decide whether you want:
· Leads, which your intake team works through engagement, or
· Signed cases, which arrive as executed engagement or retainer packages for attorney review.
Some firms use both, running leads in-house and supplementing with signed cases when capacity is tight.
Pricing should reflect your criteria, your chosen model and your target volume. Tighter criteria and signed-case delivery generally cost more per unit than broader criteria and leads, but they may cost less per accepted case once you account for intake staff time and conversion.
The right question is not the lowest price per lead. It is the total cost to reach an accepted, well-documented case.
Good programs are not set-and-forget. Review results regularly:
· Are files matching your criteria?
· What percentage are your attorneys accepting?
· Is the documentation consistent?
· Does volume need to go up or down?
Adjusting criteria and volume based on real results keeps the program aligned with your docket strategy as the litigation evolves.
Rideshare sexual assault happens wherever rideshare operates. Two federal bellwethers produced liability findings against Uber in 2026, and a third settled before openings. Firms that build national dockets around consistent criteria, rather than a few local markets, are positioned to grow with the litigation.
Nexus Legal Group builds national rideshare sexual assault programs around three variables your firm controls: criteria, monthly volume and pricing. Files are organized for attorney review, and every acceptance, conflict and representation decision remains with your firm.
