Tesla Model 3 Car Accident Lawyers

Tesla describes its Autopilot feature as “an advanced driver assistance system that enhances safety and convenience behind the wheel. When used properly, Autopilot reduces your overall workload as a driver.” Now, contrast this language with the term “Autopilot” itself. The name seems to imply that the car will drive itself, meaning a driver can operate their vehicle hands-off, without having to pay attention. The fine print, though, says otherwise.

In short, it seems like there is a big discrepancy between what Autopilot suggests and what it actually does. Drivers who feel like they can mentally check out behind the wheel may find themselves in a terrible accident, wondering how the crash could have occurred given that Autopilot includes “Autosteering” that is supposedly “traffic-aware.” If the car is aware of traffic, and it can steer, navigate, and change lanes on its own, why would it hit a parked car or a pedestrian? These are the types of questions to which we don’t yet have answers.

Tragically, the Model 3 has already been involved in several serious accidents, two of them fatal:

• On December 29, 2019, near Terre Haute, Indiana, a Model 3 smashed into a parked fire truck, killing the driver’s wife.
• On December 7, 2019, a Model 3 on Autopilot collided with a parked police car and another vehicle. There were no reported injuries.
• On March 1, 2019, near Delray Beach, Florida, a Tesla Model 3 on Autopilot crashed into a tractor-trailer while driving at nearly 70 miles per hour. The driver, Jeremy Banner, was killed.

If you or a loved one was injured in a Tesla Model 3 accident, you could be owed compensation for the following damages:

• Medical bills
• Lost wages
• Loss of earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of life’s enjoyment
• Funeral expenses (in the event of a loved one’s death)
