Self-driving trucks are changing the way goods move across America. And while automation has brought new possibilities for the trucking industry, it’s also brought a new kind of danger to our highways. When a self-driving truck causes a crash, the injuries can be just as devastating—and the legal path to recovery is even more complicated.

At Witherite Law Group, we know how overwhelming it feels after a crash involving autonomous technology.

If you’ve been injured, you deserve a legal team that understands both the law and the technology behind your wreck—and knows how to fight for the full compensation you deserve.

Understanding Self-Driving Truck Accidents

Self-driving trucks use advanced software, cameras, radar, and sensors to handle key driving tasks. But just because a machine is operating the vehicle doesn’t mean human error disappears. In fact, crashes involving autonomous trucks often happen because of:

  • Programming errors or bugs
  • Sensor failures that miss vehicles or obstacles
  • Poor system maintenance
  • Operator mistakes during monitoring or emergency takeovers

When something goes wrong with a self-driving truck, figuring out who’s responsible—whether it’s the trucking company, the technology developer, or another party—requires experienced legal help.

What to Do After a Self-Driving Truck Accident

If you're involved in a crash with a self-driving truck, taking the right steps early can protect your health—and your legal case:

  • Get Medical Care Immediately: Even if you feel "okay" after the wreck, some injuries aren’t visible right away. Protect your health and create important documentation by getting checked out by a doctor.
  • Document the Crash Scene: Take photos of all vehicles involved, the surrounding area, any skid marks, traffic signs, and road conditions. If there are witnesses, get their contact information too.
  • Report the Accident: Always call law enforcement and make sure an official report is filed. This report could become a key piece of evidence later.
  • Do Not Admit Fault: Don’t discuss who’s to blame at the scene or with insurance adjusters. Let your attorney speak for you. Anything you say could be used against you later.
