A mother of two, Stella Grant lost her job early in the pandemic. One of her friends suggested she start driving for Lyft, which she did — a decision she now calls “a mistake.”
“Things started off well. But about a year ago, my life changed forever just because of that decision,” she said.
Grant is part of a group of 17 Lyft passengers and drivers from across the country who are suing the ride-share company over allegations of physical and sexual assault during Lyft rides that they claim reflect an inability to ensure the safety of its users.
