Autonomous Accidents 🤖

Automobile producers claim that self-driving cars will reduce traffic while increasing highway safety, and some manufacturers even promise to produce an injury-free cars. Even though such statements sound very ambitious and certainly are good for society, it is probably unachievable as even the best systems can fail due to programming errors or mechanical failures.

New Technology

As innovation advances, negligence laws must also evolve and keep pace. This makes working with the right attorney essential if you have been injured in a self-driving car accident. An extensive investigation and analysis will be needed to learn about the causes and details of the accident, as well as seeking out for evidence or identifying and interviewing witnesses.

Who Is Responsible?

The accident involving an autonomous vehicle may raise a lot of questions, like “who is responsible for the accident?” or “can the victims be compensated for their injuries?”. It is worth noting that comparative negligence law also applies to automobile accidents involving autonomous cars. Comparative negligence means that if you contributed to the accident, the amount of damages you can recover will be reduced by the percentage you were at fault.
