How a Phoenix Electric Vehicle Accident Lawyer Can Help
Electric vehicles come with a myriad of issues. First, they are relatively new, and therefore tend to have bugs that have yet to be worked out. In some cases, high-powered lithium-ion batteries can experience thermal runaway, leading to a fire or an explosion, even if not damaged in an accident.
Also, some electric vehicle owners do not know how they should operate the vehicle, further leading to accidents.
And so, if an electric vehicle was involved in your wreck in any capacity, it is a strong possibility that the manufacturer of the vehicle may be to blame. Or, the driver of the vehicle may have caused your injuries. Either way, your claim will have to go up against insurance companies, rather than an individual.
We don’t shy away when it comes to defending your claim. Insurance companies (especially those representing large corporations) may do whatever they can to undervalue your claim in favor of their customers’ lowered premiums. This doesn’t help you, though, if you are unable to pay for medical treatment or cover lost wages. A Phoenix electric vehicle accident lawyer will defend your claim in the hopes of recovering the maximum amount of compensation.
Types of Crashes Our Phoenix Electric Vehicle Accident Lawyers Handle
Electric vehicles can be involved in any typical car wreck scenario in Phoenix, like:
- Collisions with untethered animals
- Fender benders
- Head-on collisions
- Multi-vehicle collisions
- T-bones
- Sideswipes
- Collisions with fixed objects
- Pileups
- Turning crashes
- Angle crashes

Whenever the technology fails, electric vehicles can bring a unique aspect to the collision. For instance, a wreck caused by an electric vehicle’s sudden stop may have been caused by faulty technology. Or, the sensors may fail and strike a pedestrian.
The added layer of liability may be able to help your claim if it means seeking out more compensation from multiple liable parties. A Phoenix electric vehicle accident lawyer can help you pursue compensation from multiple parties.
