Autonomous vehicles are built to predict and prevent collisions, but system errors and missed cues can still cause serious harm. Some crashes involve pedestrians. Others happen in traffic or while the car is parked. The circumstances shape what kind of case you may have.
The AV didn’t identify a car, person, or object in its path.
Driver-assist features failed, causing injury or property damage.
The vehicle hit someone in a crosswalk, parking lot, or sidewalk.
The autonomous car braked late or didn’t slow for traffic.
A rider was injured due to unexpected movement or collision.
A self-driving vehicle was involved in a wrongful death.

Injured in a crash involving a self-driving car? These FAQs explain how liability is handled and outline the steps to take if you’re considering legal action.
Crashes involving self-driving cars aren’t always straightforward. An attorney can review the vehicle’s data and consult with technology professionals, helping to determine whether the system malfunctioned or if another party played a role. At Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys, we focus on getting to the root of what went wrong and who should be held accountable under the law.
Start by gathering any records tied to the crash. This can include photos, medical documentation, insurance details, and anything provided by law enforcement. If there were witnesses, try to get their names and contact information. Once you have those basics, call our attorneys. We understand how self-driving car cases work and can help you understand your rights and legal options.
Responsibility in a self-driving car accident depends on what caused the crash. If the technology malfunctioned, the manufacturer or software company may be at fault. If a person was expected to monitor the system but failed to act, they could also be held liable. In some cases, other drivers on the road may share responsibility. These cases often involve multiple layers of accountability, which is why a legal investigation is so important.
It’s important to contact a lawyer as soon as possible after a Tesla Autopilot crash. Evidence like vehicle data or internal logs may only be available for a limited time. There’s also a legal deadline called the statute of limitations. If you wait too long, you may lose the right to file a claim, even if you were seriously injured. Our team of lawyers can explain what deadlines apply in your state and help you move forward while your options are still open.
Attorneys start by gathering as much data as possible. That often includes pulling vehicle logs, reviewing dashcam footage, and looking at how the system was designed to respond. They may work with engineers or other specialists to figure out where the failure happened and whether it could have been prevented. These cases require a detailed understanding of both the technology and the law, which is why the right legal team matters.
It depends on the details of the claim, but yes. Passengers can often file a claim if they’re hurt while riding in an autonomous vehicle. You don’t have to be driving or own the car to seek compensation. What matters is whether your injury was caused by the vehicle, its systems, or another driver on the road. An attorney can help you sort out who may be responsible and whether legal action makes sense in your case.
As self-driving technology evolves, we monitor how it’s being challenged in court, and what that means for injured victims.
