Firm Description:  

LegalRideshare was launched nearly a decade ago after Uber and Lyft drivers messaged Bryant with questions about accidents and didn’t know where to turn. To understand this new industry, Bryant signed up to become an Uber driver to step into his clients' shoes.

Fast forward to today, LegalRideshare is entirely focused on gig worker accident and injury cases. We've served thousands of clients and secured millions for injured drivers and gig workers.

As a member of the gig community, we work closely with workers to fight for better and safer conditions. Some examples of our activism include: Our “Driver Safety Fund,” donating $10,000 worth of dash cams, initiating a “Sick Day” program for drivers at the onset of COVID, offering cash rewards for capturing criminals who target gig workers, and securing the right to advertise in the City of Chicago. When gig companies fail to act, LegalRideshare steps up.
