Tesla Accident Attorneys

Tesla's Autopilot technology offers convenience and innovation, but it also brings new dangers — and when the accidents happen, they usually come with controversial legal battles over liability.

If you have been injured in a Tesla automobile accident, having your rights and proper legal representation can matter a lot. Our skilled Tesla accident attorneys at Kermani LLP will lead you through these challenges, fight for your rights, and seek compensation for your injuries.

Common Causes of Tesla Vehicle Accidents

Tesla vehicles are manufactured using the latest self-driving car technology; however, regardless of how sophisticated the system may be, failure is possible when nature]intervenes or human error is involved.

Based on a 2025 report by LendingTree, Tesla drivers averaged 26.67 accidents for every 1,000 drivers, the greatest percentage among all automobile brands examined. The data show that while Tesla innovation pushes the limits of automation to its maximum potential, new hazards are also revealed when drivers become too dependent upon what their car can do.

Some of the most common causes of Tesla car accidents include:

• Driver distraction or inattention occurs because many drivers mistakenly assume that Autopilot handles every aspect of driving. When drivers look away or rely too heavily on automation, accidents can occur in seconds.
• Misuse of driver assistance features. Tesla's Autopilot requires drivers to stay attentive, yet others neglect to maintain control or dismiss the warning.
• Issues with the vehicle’s radar, cameras, or navigation systems can cause sudden braking, misjudged distances, or steering errors.
• Manufacturing or component defects in brakes, tires, or batteries can lead to catastrophic results.
• Aging, speeding, DUI, or running through red lights are the most prevalent causes of Tesla accidents.

Every Tesla crash is an intersection of human action and machine response in a specific scenario. Our self-driving car accident attorney possesses the expertise to examine these factors and ascertain the true cause of the crash.

Understanding Liability in a Tesla Autopilot Crash

Liability in a car crash is typically far more complex than a standard wreck. Because Autopilot reduces the driver's responsibility and the vehicle drives itself, assigning fault is difficult both technologically and legally. In the majority of cases, several parties could have liability:

• Driver negligence. Autopilot is not a substitute for full attention. If the driver was texting, asleep, or otherwise disengaged, they may be liable for failing to take control.
• Liability of the manufacturer for technology failure. Tesla could be held responsible if Autopilot or Full Self-Driving (FSD) malfunctioned, or if the company failed to warn users about known risks.
• Another motorist’s reckless behavior, such as sudden lane changes or impaired driving, can trigger a chain reaction leading to your accident.
• If your faulty component was produced by a third-party firm, they could bear partial blame for the crash.

Seasoned Tesla accident lawyers will determine fault, interpret black box data, software history, and video record evidence. We at Kermani LLP utilize all this evidence to make every guilty party liable. 

Steps to Take Immediately After a Tesla Accident

After a Tesla accident, safety is always your top priority. Once you’re out of immediate danger, taking the right steps will protect both your health and your legal rights:

1. Seek medical help at once, even if you don't think you're hurt — some injuries don't show up for hours or days. 
2. Report the crash to the police. A full police report places facts in writing and may indicate whether Autopilot was engaged.
3. Collect evidence — photograph the vehicles, roads, and any visible injuries. Take a photo of the Tesla's dashboard or warnings, if possible.
4. Get statements from witnesses. Independent witnesses can be helpful when they speak on your behalf.
5. Don't admit fault and never apologize, or guess what occurred — those can be used against you.
6. Call a Tesla attorney immediately. Tesla vehicles have a driving history that gets overwritten in a matter of days. A lawyer can download and analyze the information before it disappears.

Our Tesla accident lawyers at Kermani LLP are equipped to act with urgency, holding onto the key evidence and protecting your case from the very beginning.

What Compensation Can You Recover in a Tesla Accident Claim?

If you were involved in a collision with a Tesla and were injured, you can recover significant damages for loss and injury. The amount of available damages will depend on the severity of your wreck, your medical bills, and the level of negligence.

Viciously injured victims can recover:

• Medical expenses: hospitalizations, surgeries, physical therapy, and prolonged care.
• Lost wages for lost time at work and decreased future earning capacity.
• Property damage to repair or replace your Tesla or other damaged property.
• Pain and suffering for bodily pain, trauma, and emotional distress.
• Punitive damages in extraordinary instances, if gross negligence or reckless indifference can be established.

Having an experienced self-driving car accident attorney is crucial, as insurers and Tesla both have powerful legal ammunition.
