Albuquerque Self-Driving Car Accident Lawyer
There are many ways that you might be injured in a collision involving a self-driving vehicle. Due to the heightened amount of technology in these cars, there are many things that can go wrong and lead to wrecks and other road hazards. Whether you were injured by a self-driving car, injured while traveling in an autonomous vehicle, or a passerby who was injured as collateral damage due to a large-scale crash, contact an Albuquerque self-driving car accident lawyer as soon as possible.
It’s very possible that the driver of the self-driving car did not know how to properly use their vehicle. This may make them liable for your injuries. In other situations, the manufacturer of the vehicle may have been negligent. Even the software developer could have known about a safety concern, yet did not follow through on their due diligence in keeping you safe. These are just a few of the possibilities your attorney will look into when conducting their investigation.
Our Albuquerque personal injury attorneys will investigate the causation of your claim and build a case that fights for the amount of financial compensation you deserve. To set up a free case evaluation and consultation, just call 505-444-4444.
Why Hire an Albuquerque Self-Driving Car Accident Lawyer After an Injury?
After an injury caused in an accident that involved a self-driving car, it can be difficult to understand what to do next. You might wonder who is liable after a collision with one, since no one was driving. Or, if you were riding in the self-driving car, you might think that you are to blame.
However, it may be the manufacturer, software developer, or even the vehicle testing facility that’s responsible. An experienced autonomous vehicle attorney will know exactly where to look to find the evidence necessary to prove which party was either negligent or reckless.

Albuquerque Self-Driving Cars Safety Concerns
New Mexico began seeing Waymo’s self-driving electric vehicles on its roads in early 2020. While a bill proposed in early 2023 to require a human presence in these vehicles was unsuccessful, it highlights ongoing safety concerns. This is particularly relevant considering recent events, such as the GM self-driving Cruise being pulled from California’s roads in November 2023 due to safety issues.
The main safety concerns of self-driving cars include:
- Driver inexperience or misunderstanding of how to use a self-driving vehicle
- Silence of the operating vehicle
- Battery fires
- Sudden acceleration
- Defective parts
- Moral machine issues, where the machine does not know whether to avoid one obstacle or the other
- Negligent manufacturing
- Sudden deceleration
Our case evaluation will focus on finding which of the above causes contributed to your wreck. Then, we will fight the insurance provider of the party responsible to recover just compensation for your injuries. Don’t attempt to do this alone, as the other party may have their own attorneys and high-end insurance.
