News about Witherite Law Group

“There are currently no meaningful regulations at the federal or state level to regulate the vehicles,” said Witherite. “Regulators and lawmakers need to wake up to the fact that these companies should not be allowed to police their own operations if they want to share our streets and highways with the public.”  

Self-driving cars are changing the way we get around, offering the promise of safer roads and fewer human errors. But what happens when they don’t work as expected? It’s not hard to picture a self-driving truck veering out of its lane and causing a pile-up, and as these incidents become more common, the debate about liability is getting louder. 

When a self-driving car is involved in an accident, it’s often not as straightforward as pointing to a driver. Instead, liability might involve the manufacturer, software developers, or even the car’s owner if they neglected essential updates. But don’t worry, the attorneys at Witherite Law Group are here to help you after a self-driving car wreck.

Imagine you’re in an intersection, and a self-driving rideshare car suddenly accelerates into your vehicle, or a self-driving truck doesn’t respond to a lane change and sideswipes your car.

Self-driving cars and trucks are becoming a more common sight on our roads, but when these vehicles fail, they can cause devastating injuries, and leave people wondering: who’s to blame? Who can be held accountable? Here’s what you need to know.

You’re walking to the store when a self-driving car suddenly strikes you. The vehicle’s sensors failed to detect you, or the software misread its surroundings. You’re left injured, frightened, and unsure of what to do next. Meanwhile, the company behind the self-driving car is already working to protect itself, claiming the “technology is safe” and deflecting blame.

At Witherite Law Group, we know these accidents aren’t just statistics—they’re life-changing events. When self-driving technology fails, it’s pedestrians and cyclists who can pay the price. If you’ve been hit by a self-driving vehicle in Dallas, Atlanta, or Chicago, our experienced attorneys will fight to hold the responsible parties accountable and get you the compensation you deserve.

Picture yourself on a stormy evening, driving cautiously, only to see a self-driving car struggling to stay in its lane due to rain-smeared sensors. Or, imagine a self-driving truck that can’t interpret an ice-covered road sign, causing it to veer off course. Bad weather tests the limits of autonomous technology, and as our founder Amy Witherite puts it: “We see videos of pristine trucks operating in perfect weather conditions. That is not the real world.” 

You’re driving alongside a self-driving truck when it suddenly veers off course and brakes right in front of you. The collision leaves you injured and confused—was it the car’s fault, the technology, or the company behind it? At Witherite Law Group, we help victims of autonomous car and truck accidents hold the responsible parties accountable in Dallas, Fort Worth, Atlanta, and Chicago. If you've been hit by a self-driving car or truck, understanding how safety features work—or fail—can make all the difference. Let’s look at some of the basics.

Self-driving cars are no longer a faraway tech—they’re on our roads today, and claim to make driving safer and easier. But when they fail, the results can be devastating, leaving people injured, confused, and unsure of who’s responsible. If you’ve been in a crash with a self-driving vehicle, here’s what you need to know to protect your rights and get the justice you deserve with the help of a skilled attorney.

Imagine you're walking through downtown Atlanta on a sunny afternoon, heading to your favorite coffee shop. As you cross the street, a self-driving car is rolling up. You think it’s going to stop. It doesn’t.  

In the aftermath, you're faced with medical bills, lost wages, and the daunting task of dealing with insurance companies. How do they handle claims involving autonomous vehicles? What are your rights? At Witherite Law Group, we understand the complexities of these situations and are here to guide you through the process.
