Autonomous VEHICLE Accidents
YOU NEED SELF-DRIVING EXPERTS
NOT A LAW FIRM PLAYING CATCH-UP
If ever there was a type of incident that justified the old “you need a good lawyer” saying, a selfdriving wreck might be it. Not calling exactly the right law firm could leave you with much less than you deserve.
Proving fault in self-driving mistakes can be highly technical, at best. What’s worse: The other side may obscure the facts behind layers of equipment manufacturers, computer systems, and the multiple companies involved in every self-driving vehicle.
Autonomous vehicles will likely save lives over time. But when they go wrong on our Texas roads, it’s even more important that you have a qualified law firm pushing hard for your rights. We need to keep the industry honest and dedicated to prioritizing safety over shortcuts. And we need to make you whole if you’re injured by negligent people or faulty systems.
A traditional truck accident case typically centers on a driver's conduct and the company’s hiring, training, and supervision practices.
An autonomous truck accident can involve a far longer list of potentially responsible parties:
The trucking company that deployed the vehicle.
The company that developed the self-driving software.
The truck manufacturer.
The sensor and hardware suppliers (multiple).
The remote monitoring team that may be supervising the vehicle from a control center.
The mapping data provider.
The maintenance contractor responsible for keeping the hardware calibrated.
And potentially more.
It takes professionals to capture the sometimes hard-to-identify basic facts of all the parties and systems involved. Then, determining what actually happened can require:
Reconstructing enormous amounts of sensor and software log data.
Understanding if/how the automated system classified the hazard it encountered.
Evaluating whether the truck's system design and operating procedures were appropriate for the conditions at the time of the crash.
Establishing whether any human interactions, from computer system inputs to active driving management, may have contributed to a crash.
Evidence can be spread across multiple companies, and they all have strong incentives tocharacterize incidents in ways that minimize their own exposure.
