Self-Driving Vehicle Accident Liability

Self-driving cars are still learning every day and are far from being perfectly safe, making accident liability an uncharted territory in certain situations. Most self-driving cars operate under partial or conditional automation, which means a driver will take control of the vehicle when needed to prevent accidents. After an accident, lawyers will perform a careful investigation in deciding liability. 

The following person or group may be considered at fault in the event of an accident:

  • The Vehicle Manufacturer: The business that produced the self-driving vehicle may be held liable for situations involving defective parts or software malfunctions.

  • Vehicle Operator: The self-driving vehicle driver typically takes control in severe traffic situations. If the operator were distracted or impaired, the operator would be liable for the damages.

  • Third Party: Parties like the City of Phoenix may be at fault for road or traffic light defects or construction companies with dangerous work zone areas. 

Recovering Damages

The damages for a car accident claim will be applicable even though the legislation governing liability in a crash involving an autonomous vehicle is still being investigated. Self-driving cars must follow the same traffic laws and be registered and insured. When the self-driving vehicle operator or manufacturer is found negligent, they must legally cover damages for your injuries. Vehicle accident injuries are not always felt at the scene which is why it’s crucial to receive compensation in situations where future injuries arise as a result of the accident.

You may be eligible to get compensation for the following through a Phoenix self-driving accident claim:

  • Current and future medical bills and expenses
  • Pain and suffering
  • Lost wages and future earnings
  • Emotional damages
  • Permanent disability
  • Therapy and physical therapy
  • Medication expenses
  • In-home care
  • Nursing care
  • Assistance expenses
  • Any other costs related to treating the self-driving car injury
