Denver-based Wagstaff Law Firm founding partner Aimee Wagstaff has been appointed co-lead counsel in the federal multidistrict litigation against Lyft, Inc. The MDL consolidates a growing number of nationwide lawsuits stemming from claims that Lyft failed to protect passengers despite years of reports involving sexual misconduct by drivers and mounting safety concerns.
The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation created the proceeding in early 2026. Dozens of federal cases are already pending, with thousands of related claims filed in state courts. Additional filings are expected.
Wagstaff brings extensive leadership experience in national mass tort proceedings. She has taken on some of the largest corporations in the world and secured landmark results for plaintiffs. Her appointment signals the court’s intent to move the litigation forward.
