What to Do If You’re in an Accident with a Self-Driving Car

🚗🤖 What to Do If You’re in an Accident with a Self-Driving Car in Las Vegas

Las Vegas + Driverless Cars = 🚘👾 New Risks

Las Vegas is one of the few U.S. cities where self-driving cars are already on the road. Companies like Motional and Tesla are testing autonomous vehicles across the Valley—and while the technology is exciting, it’s also unpredictable. 🤨

So what happens if you’re in an accident with a self-driving car?

At Anthem Injury Lawyers, we help both tourists and locals after crashes involving autonomous vehicles. Here’s what to know 👇

✅ Step 1: Stay Safe First

Whether it’s a traditional driver or a robot behind the wheel, always prioritize your safety:

🆘 Call 911
📸 Take photos of the scene
📍 Note if the vehicle had a human driver or was operating autonomously
📞 Exchange contact info with witnesses

🚘 Step 2: Identify the Vehicle

Las Vegas has multiple types of driverless vehicles on the road. You may see:

• Motional Ioniq 5 robotaxis 🚖

• Uber or Lyft vehicles with Tesla’s FSD (Full Self-Driving) 🤖

• Test vehicles operated by AV startups 🔬

Take note of any logos, tags, or identifiers, because if it’s part of a company fleet, that matters for your claim.

📝 Step 3: Collect the Right Info

Even without a human behind the wheel, you can (and should) gather this info:

• License plate number

• Name of the company operating the car

• Insurance details (if available)

• Any visible sensors or labels on the vehicle

• Names and contact info of witnesses 👀

🗂️ Step 4: File a Report

If there are injuries or property damage over $750, Nevada law requires you to file an accident report.

Even if the company tells you it’s “being handled,” file your own report. Trust us.

⚖️ Step 5: Call Anthem Injury Lawyers

These cases can get complicated—fast. Who’s at fault when a robot drives the car? The software developer? The rideshare company? The owner of the vehicle?

You need an experienced attorney who understands the legal gray areas and how to fight back against powerful companies trying to avoid responsibility. You should call Anthem Injury Lawyers because we have the expertise and experience to stand up to these companies.

🤔 Do Self-Driving Cars Have Insurance?

Yes! But here’s the catch: not all coverage is created equal.

Many self-driving vehicles are covered by commercial policies, but those companies will often lowball victims unless a lawyer gets involved. Don’t settle for less than you’re owed.

😠 Can You Sue After a Crash with a Self-Driving Car?

Absolutely. Depending on what caused the crash, your case may involve:

• 🚧 Negligence (if a human safety driver was involved)

• 🧠 Product liability (if the tech malfunctioned)

• 🏢 Corporate liability (if a rideshare or AV company was careless)

Every case is different, but we dig deep to find out who’s truly at fault—and make them pay.

💡 Final Thoughts: Protect Yourself on the Road of the Future

Las Vegas may be the city of the future, but if you’re injured in an accident involving a self-driving car, you’re going to want real human help—from a law firm that knows how to navigate both Nevada law and futuristic tech. ⚖️💻
