Waymo Accident

Waymo’s autonomous vehicles are prevalent on Arizona streets. The self-driving vehicles were created by Alphabet (the parent company of Google), and they use AI, algorithms, cameras, and sensors to navigate the roadways and drive without input or assistance from a human driver.

Unfortunately, these self-driving cars can and do get into accidents just as human drivers do. When that happens, things can become complicated for crash victims as it can be difficult to determine who should be held liable for losses.

Canopy Legal Group has extensive experience representing clients injured in crashes with self-driving vehicles and we can provide the support you need and deserve as you navigate the legal system to recover compensation for your medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages and emotional distress.

Your Rights After a Waymo Accident

When a Waymo accident occurs, there are multiple potential defendants who could be held accountable to the crash victims. This could include:

• Waymo and its parent company: If a defect in the self-driving car was the cause of the harm, then Waymo and Alphabet could potentially be liable under product liability laws. If the Waymo unit was not properly maintained or serviced, then the company responsible for this failure could also be held liable under negligence laws. 
• Human safety drivers: If a human safety driver in the Waymo should have taken action, or took action and behaved in an unsafe way, that driver could be held responsible if a crash occurred as a result of their failure to exercise reasonable care. 
• Other drivers: Sometimes, the Waymo itself is not at fault, but instead another driver on the road caused the crash. For example, a careless driver who is speeding or drunk might crash into the Waymo vehicle and harm passengers. 

Identifying all parties who are responsible for the crash is important, as the more people and companies you can pursue a case against, the greater the chances that you will be able to collect full compensation for both economic and non-financial damages.

How an Arizona Waymo Accident Lawyer Can Help You

A Waymo accident lawyer at Canopy Legal Group will be there for you from day one in the aftermath of your Waymo accident. We can help you to:

• Investigate the crash cause. This can include finding experts, interviewing witnesses, obtaining data from Waymo’s computers, and obtaining police reports from the crash. 
• Identify defendants and decide on legal arguments. The process of proving a product liability claim is different from the process of pursuing a traditional car accident case based on negligence. Our attorneys will craft the strongest legal arguments possible based on the circumstances of the accident. 
• Negotiating an out-of-court settlement or litigating your case. Settling can result in faster resolutions and can be less stressful than going to court, but it’s not always possible so you’ll need experienced attorneys who are ready to resolve your claim using the best method available. 

Throughout your case, we will keep you informed, treat you with compassion, and fight hard for you. We also won’t charge legal fees unless we win your case. Give us a call or contact us online today to learn more about how our Waymo accident lawyers can help you get justice.
