Tampa Robotaxi Accident Lawyer

The rise of self-driving vehicles in Tampa brings both innovation and new legal challenges. When a robotaxi or autonomous car causes an accident, determining liability is far more complex than in traditional vehicle collisions. At Spencer Morgan Law, our experienced Tampa robotaxi accident lawyer represents victims injured in crashes involving self-driving or semi-autonomous vehicles. We handle the unique legal and technical aspects of these claims to help our clients recover the compensation they deserve.

Understanding Robotaxi Accidents

Robotaxis—autonomous vehicles operated by companies such as Waymo, Tesla, and others—are designed to operate without human drivers. However, technology can fail, sensors can malfunction, and software errors can cause devastating crashes. These cases often involve corporate defendants, advanced technology, and multiple layers of insurance.

Spencer Morgan Law has the experience and resources to investigate robotaxi collisions thoroughly. We analyze vehicle data, software records, and maintenance logs to determine what went wrong and who is responsible.

Common Causes of Robotaxi Crashes

• Software or navigation system malfunctions
• Faulty sensors or radar systems
• Human override or driver error (when present)
• Poor road markings or traffic light detection failures
• Inadequate maintenance or system updates
• Vehicle manufacturer defects

Our firm works with engineers and accident reconstruction specialists to uncover how the incident occurred and identify all responsible parties.

Common Injuries in Robotaxi Accidents

Victims of robotaxi accidents may suffer injuries similar to those in traditional car crashes, including whiplash, fractures, concussions, spinal cord injuries, and traumatic brain injuries. The sudden and unexpected nature of these accidents can also lead to emotional trauma. Spencer Morgan Law ensures that all medical, emotional, and financial damages are included in your compensation claim.

Steps to Take After a Robotaxi Accident

1. Call 911 immediately and request a police report.
2. Seek medical treatment, even if injuries appear minor.
3. Document the scene with photos and videos.
4. Record any identifying information about the robotaxi, including company name and vehicle ID.
5. Collect witness contact information.
6. Avoid discussing the crash with the company or its insurer.
7. Contact Spencer Morgan Law as soon as possible to protect your rights and start your claim.

What Compensation May Be Available

Victims of robotaxi crashes may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical expenses and long-term care
• Lost wages and loss of future earnings
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Property damage
• Permanent disability or disfigurement
• Loss of enjoyment of life

We pursue claims against all responsible entities, including manufacturers, software developers, and fleet operators.

Determining Liability in Robotaxi Accidents

Robotaxi accidents often involve several potential defendants, including the vehicle manufacturer, software developer, operator, and maintenance provider. Determining who is at fault requires a deep understanding of both Florida law and emerging autonomous vehicle regulations.

Spencer Morgan Law carefully reviews all available data from the vehicle’s onboard systems, maintenance records, and company reports. We use this information to prove negligence or product defects and build a strong case for maximum recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is responsible if a robotaxi causes a crash?

Liability may fall on the manufacturer, software company, fleet operator, or maintenance provider depending on what caused the malfunction or failure.

Yes. If negligence or defective technology led to the crash, the company that owns or operates the vehicle may be held responsible.

What makes robotaxi cases different from regular car accidents?

These cases often involve advanced technology, data analysis, and multiple corporate defendants, making them more complex than standard auto accident claims.

How long do I have to file a robotaxi accident claim in Florida?

You generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit.

How much does it cost to hire Spencer Morgan Law?

There are no upfront costs. We only get paid when we recover compensation for you.
