Phoenix Self-Driving Vehicle Accident Lawyer

Self-driving vehicles represent the peak of automotive technology. Despite modern technological advancements, however, manufacturers still cannot ensure the safety of automated vehicles. Self-driving cars have already been involved in multiple collisions, including some that took lives. The first pedestrian death involving a self-driving car happened right here in Arizona.

Who Is Liable for Your Self-Driving Vehicle Accident?

Self-driving vehicle accidents have unique factors in terms of determining liability. Unlike most cases, which generally involve two drivers, a self-driving vehicle collision involves a driver against a machine.

Determining whether it was the self-driving technology, the human supervisor, the manufacturing company, or another party who caused the crash may take a thorough investigation from our lawyers in Phoenix.

  • The vehicle maker. The company in charge of designing and producing the vehicle could be liable if it made an error that led to the accident. If defective software glitched and failed to detect a hazard, for example, the vehicle manufacturer could be at fault for a related accident.
  • The driver. Most self-driving cars still require some input or supervision from a human operator. When conditions are too dangerous for automated technology, for example, the human should take over. Human error behind the wheel of a self-driving car could lead to that person’s liability for a crash.
  • A third party. Several third parties could also bear fault for a self-driving car accident in Arizona. Examples include the City of Phoenix for a road defect, a construction company for a dangerous work zone, or a self-driving technology company for a software malfunction.

Determining fault is necessary before you can proceed with a car accident claim in Arizona. It is a fault-based insurance state, meaning the insurance company of the at-fault party will have to pay for victims’ damages. After a collision with a self-driving vehicle, do not admit fault.

Call the police for an investigation. Then, contact Gerber Injury Law for a discussion with an attorney about what to do next.
