Maryland Self-Driving Car Accident Lawyers

Google’s self-driving car sounds like a great idea.

Developed by Google X as part of its project to develop technology for mainly electric cars, Google’s self-driving car is any in a range of autonomous cars, . The software installed in Google’s cars is named Google Chauffeur.  Lettering on the side of each car identifies it as a “self-driving car”.

But what happens when that self-driving car causes an accident?  Who is responsible for the accident and injuries?

Who is responsible for a self-driving car accident?

A big concern for Maryland Personal Injury Attorneys is: “How do we determine who was at-fault or liable for a car accident?”

Who’s going to pay for the injuries sustained by the driver and passengers in the self-driving car?

Who will be liable and who is going to pay the medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering after a car accident?

The Maryland courts have yet to see a case of this nature, but it is our suspicion there would be multiple parties responsible for the accident and subsequent injuries.

Possible responsible parties include:

• manufacturers;
• developers of the software; and/or
• the distributors.

There are countless options when it comes to liability. That is why a Maryland Personal Injury Attorney can be helpful in pursuing a claim for injuries caused in an automobile accident.

Remember, in order to prove your Maryland personal injury case you need to establish three things: negligence, causation and damages.
