Hit by a Self-Driving Car? Know Your Rights as a Pedestrian

Self-Driving Vehicles Are Supposed to Keep You Safe — But When They Fail, You Deserve Justice

Were you or a loved one struck by a self-driving or semi-autonomous car while walking, jogging, or crossing the street? Whether it was a Tesla on Autopilot, a Waymo test vehicle, or another autonomous car, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries, medical bills, and emotional trauma.

Pedestrian accidents involving self-driving cars raise serious questions about safety, responsibility, and accountability. We’re here to help you find answers — and get results.


Common Causes of Self-Driving Car vs. Pedestrian Collisions

Despite advanced technology, autonomous vehicles still fail — often with devastating results for pedestrians. These crashes can occur when:

  • The vehicle’s sensors or cameras fail to detect you
  • The software miscalculates your movement
  • The vehicle doesn’t stop at a crosswalk
  • A Tesla using Autopilot or FSD doesn’t yield or runs a red light
  • The backup driver isn’t paying attention

If you were hit while crossing legally, walking on the shoulder, or even standing on the sidewalk, you may have a strong legal claim.


Why You Need a Lawyer Who Understands Tech & Injury Law

Self-driving car injury cases are not traditional accident claims. They involve:

  • Complex software systems (AI, LiDAR, radar, GPS)
  • Large tech and auto companies like Tesla, Waymo, Cruise, and more
  • “Black box” data and vehicle logs
  • Multiple parties — driver, manufacturer, and software developer — who may share fault

We work with engineers, forensic analysts, and legal experts to build a compelling case backed by evidence.


You May Be Entitled to Compensation For:

  • Emergency room care & hospital bills
  • Ongoing medical treatment or rehab
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional trauma, PTSD, or anxiety
  • Long-term disability or disfigurement
  • Funeral expenses and wrongful death benefits (if a loved one was killed)

We’ll fight to recover the maximum compensation for your physical, emotional, and financial losses.
