With over 20 years of experience and a client-first approach, our Boston car accident lawyers combine compassionate representation with modern legal technology to investigate complex autonomous vehicle accident claims.

Why Choose DiBella Law for a Boston Autonomous Vehicle Accident Claim?

Self-driving car crashes are rarely straightforward. These cases may involve vehicle data logs, camera footage, software updates, sensor malfunctions, and disputes between drivers, manufacturers, and insurance companies. DiBella Law understands how to investigate these complicated claims while keeping clients informed every step of the way.

Founding attorney Christopher DiBella also understands the personal impact of serious crashes. After experiencing a rear-end collision with his children in the car and seeing his own family affected by car accidents, he built the firm around one core belief: Every Case Is Personal. That perspective continues to shape how DiBella Law supports injured clients throughout the Commonwealth.

Our Promise: No Win, No Fee

A serious autonomous vehicle accident can create enormous financial pressure between medical bills, lost income, and ongoing treatment. You should not have to worry about paying attorney fees while trying to recover.

DiBella Law handles self-driving vehicle accident claims on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay no attorney fees unless we achieve a favorable result for your case. Our team also offers free consultations so you can understand your legal options before making any decisions.

How a Boston Self-Driving Car Accident Lawyer Can Help

Autonomous vehicle accident claims often require a detailed investigation and fast action to preserve evidence. A Boston self-driving car accident lawyer can help by:

  • Investigating the crash and preserving vehicle data, surveillance footage, and electronic records
  • Identifying all potentially liable parties involved in the collision
  • Calculating both economic and non-economic damages
  • Reviewing insurance policies and additional sources of compensation
  • Negotiating with insurers and corporate defense teams
  • Filing a lawsuit and representing you in court if necessary

DiBella Law uses modern technology and hands-on legal support to help clients navigate these highly technical cases while staying informed throughout the process.

Who Can Be Held Liable in a Boston Self-Driving Car Crash?

When a self-driving or semi-autonomous vehicle is involved in a collision, determining fault can become far more complicated than a traditional car accident case. Liability may depend on whether the technology failed, whether a driver ignored warnings, or whether a company failed to properly maintain the system.

Potentially liable parties may include:

  • Autonomous vehicle software developers
  • Vehicle manufacturers
  • Human safety drivers who failed to intervene
  • Third-party maintenance or repair providers
  • Fleet operators or rideshare companies

Massachusetts follows modified comparative negligence rules under M.G.L. c. 231 § 85, meaning injured people may still recover compensation if they were 50% or less responsible for the accident.

DiBella Law’s Difference Guarantee includes a 30-day trial period, giving clients confidence while we investigate these complex claims involving powerful corporations and evolving technology.

Understanding Massachusetts Laws After an Autonomous Vehicle Accident

Massachusetts operates under a no-fault insurance system. Personal Injury Protection, commonly called PIP coverage, typically pays for the first $8,000 in medical expenses and certain lost wages after a crash. However, injuries involving autonomous vehicles often exceed those limits quickly, especially in high-speed or pedestrian collisions.

Because autonomous vehicle technology continues evolving, these claims may also involve federal investigations and crash-reporting requirements through agencies such as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). DiBella Law serves injured clients throughout Boston, Burlington, Methuen, Andover, and across the state.
