In an ordinary collision, the liable party is one of the drivers. When a Tesla is involved, that stops being a safe assumption: responsibility may rest with the vehicle manufacturer, with the maker of the self-driving technology, or with the person behind the wheel. A Tesla accident attorney has to establish which.
Autopilot is marketed as Full Self-Driving Hardware, but it still requires a human driver paying attention. When the system glitches and the driver does not respond in time, the result can be fatal. Proving what happened usually takes expert witnesses and a full accident reconstruction.
You Need Specialized Representation
When self-driving cars such as Teslas cause accidents, specialized representation is needed. Why? Because Tesla accidents and other types of self-driving car accidents involve different kinds of liability issues compared to your typical car accident case. Whereas in a traditional car accident case, the liable party is most often one of the involved drivers, in a self-driving car accident case liability may rest on the vehicle manufacturer and/or the manufacturer of the self-driving technology used by the manufacturer.
