Waymo has positioned itself as California’s dominant autonomous vehicle operator—with fully driverless robotaxis now navigating the streets of Los Angeles daily. But widespread deployment hasn’t meant widespread safety. According to California incident reports, Waymo accounts for more autonomous vehicle collision reports in California than any other self-driving car manufacturer — a sobering statistic for LA County residents who assume removing the human driver eliminates the risk.
The reality is that autonomous vehicle accidents in Los Angeles County introduce a uniquely complex layer of liability that standard car accident claims simply don’t involve. When a Waymo vehicle causes a collision, potentially responsible parties may include the technology company itself, software developers, vehicle manufacturers, and multiple overlapping insurance carriers — all simultaneously working to minimize their exposure.
At Sally Morin Personal Injury Lawyers, our all-female Los Angeles autonomous vehicle accident team has the technical knowledge and aggressive litigation strategy necessary to cut through that complexity and hold Waymo fully accountable for your injuries. We serve Waymo accident victims across Los Angeles, LA County, Santa Monica, West Hollywood, and greater Southern California.

Autonomous vehicles are highly advanced, but they are not infallible. Despite massive safety protocols and millions of self-driven test miles on California roads, technology still fails in complex urban environments. The primary causes of robotaxi crashes include:
When a multi-ton robotaxi strikes another vehicle, a pedestrian, or a cyclist, the physical fallout is devastating. We frequently see victims suffering from severe, life-altering injuries, including:
Pinpointing liability in an autonomous vehicle crash is immensely complex. Unlike standard collisions where you simply hold the other driver accountable, a driverless car accident opens the door to multiple corporate entities. Depending on the data logs, liability can fall on:
To win, you need to dissect complex corporate structures and technical data, which is exactly why you cannot handle this alone.
Getting hit by a driverless car is overwhelming, but your immediate actions dictate your physical and financial recovery. Move to safety and call 911 immediately. Ensure the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) dispatches an officer to create an official collision report, as this digital and physical paperwork is vital.
Next, document everything. Take photos and videos of the vehicle positions, sensor arrays, property damage, and visible injuries. Since there is no human driver to exchange info with, document the vehicle’s ID numbers displayed on the exterior.
Seek immediate medical attention, even for minor pains. Finally, protect your rights—contact a Waymo accident lawyer in Los Angeles before speaking to corporate insurance adjusters.
Corporate tech giants carry massive, multi-million-dollar liability insurance policies. They deploy aggressive corporate legal defense teams to protect their profits. If you try to take them on by yourself, they will try to bury your claim in technical jargon, blame human error, or offer you a lowball settlement that won’t cover your future medical care.
Partnering with a specialized Waymo accident lawyer is your only shield against these corporate tactics. An attorney will subpoena proprietary internal data logs, isolate hardware vs. software errors, and ensure you are compensated fully for your lost wages, medical debts, and emotional distress.
You need a law firm that understands how tech and traffic intersect in Southern California. Choosing an all-female Los Angeles Waymo accident lawyer from Sally Morin Personal Injury Lawyers means getting aggressive, high-stakes advocacy customized for modern accident claims.
We do not treat you like a case number. Our legal team focuses on maximizing your financial recovery while handling every single piece of insurance paperwork, corporate phone call, and legal filing. This allows you to completely focus on your physical recovery while we fight for the money you are legally owed.
Who pays for my medical bills if a driverless car hits me?
The at-fault party’s insurance provider is responsible. If the autonomous vehicle’s artificial intelligence system caused the collision, Waymo’s commercial insurance policy will cover your medical bills, lost wages, and property damage.
Can I sue Waymo directly for my injuries?
Yes. If a software glitch, component failure, or operational negligence caused your collision, you can file a personal injury claim or civil lawsuit directly against Waymo to secure full financial compensation.
How do you prove a self-driving car was at fault?
We utilize accident reconstruction specialists and software engineers to secure and evaluate the vehicle’s internal computer logs. This digital evidence reveals exactly what the vehicle’s sensors detected and the precise moment the AI malfunctioned.
Should I speak with Waymo’s claims adjusters after a collision?
No. Never provide a statement or accept an early financial offer from their adjusters. They want to settle your claim quickly for as little money as possible. Call a Waymo accident lawyer in Los Angeles immediately to handle all communication for you.
Do not let a tech giant’s legal team dictate what your case is worth. If you have been injured, you need elite legal representation immediately. Contact the best autonomous vehicle accident law firm today to secure your financial future.

I can't recommend Rebecca at Sally Morin Personal Injury Lawyers more highly. Rebecca is transparent, honest, and client-centered in a way that was completely different from the other firms I considered. Rebecca broke down what can feel like a very opaque process, and helped me understand my options in an approachable way. It was immediately clear that Rebecca's advice and guidance centered around my personal best interest, not what would make her firm the most money. Thanks Rebecca and team!Posted on Yelp![]()

I was very fortunate, and by pure luck, I found Sally Morin's firm on YELP. The firm wasn't recommended to me by anyone, but I now want to recommend them to EVERYONE, especially my fantastic attorney, Annie Heller. Annie was compassionate, honest, attentive and very responsive to my calls and emails. Throughout the entire process of my claim, I felt completely supported and even after my case successfully settled, she followed up with me. Thank you Annie for your exceptional legal service.Posted on Yelp![]()

Rebecca and the team at Sally Morin are awesome, plain and simple! Honestly, they were the only legal representation that didn't make me feel slimy after the first conversation. I was thrilled to work with them on my injury case after realizing it was more than I could handle dealing directly with the other party's insurance myself. They advocated for me and my family, going into incredible detail and crafting a great strategy for what to do next. The end result was a pleasant surprise, far exceeding my expectations. Rebecca and the team definitely earn their share by providing amazing value. They're also no-pressure, which was refreshing compared to other lawyers I contacted before choosing Sally Morin. Their priority was making sure I was always informed and knew exactly what was going on, every step of the way. If something happens again, Rebecca and Sally Morin will be my first call--and I'm sure there will be a multitude of emails to follow! :PPosted on Yelp![]()

My sister got in a car accident, was hit badly by another driver, became unconscious, and was immediately taken to hospital emergency with an internal brain bleeding thus could not defend herself. As a result, the police report had false information from the other driver and concluded my sister at fault. While other legal firms purposed disappeared after seeing at the police report and other driver's cheap insurance policy (not easy win), Sally Morin team with great heart and "no win, no pay" written clause took on the case and successfully reversed both insurance + police reports and won the case. My family is grateful to find Sally Morin firm and great team with legal expertise, experience, and most important great heart. Thank you very much.Posted on Yelp![]()

Unfortunately me and my mom were hit by another driver on the freeway. We ended up with hospital bills and a long road to recovery especially for my 85 yr old mother. This was such a tragedy and uncertain times for us not knowing where to turn and what to do about mounting bills while trying to get our lives in order. I contacted Sally and her wonderful team. Carmen one of her associates worked with me and my mom and handled everything. Carmen was awesome and such a caring lawyer as well. She keeps It real and we loved that about her. When you need a personal injury attorney that will work on handling your case in every aspect, insurance claims, potential health liens and negotiating on your behalf then Sally Morin Personal Injury law firm is the one to contact. You can count on them. Carmen explained everything so we knew what we were in for and was trustworthy and honest. There is no way to state how invaluable and priceless it is knowing the law firm you hired has your back and can be trusted. I hope no one ever needs a personal Injury attorney because being injured is one of the worst things that can happen to you; your life changes in an instant after a bad accident. But having a law firm like Sally Morin with lawyers like Carmen make that terrible experience much better knowing they are there to handle every aspect of your case and do it so well. Thanks Carmen and team. Much appreciated!Posted on Yelp![]()

I originally reached out to a different law firm to handle my personal injury case, but Sally Morin's team (Rebecca Taylor in particular) left such a good impression on me that I switched to them--and I'm glad I did! They were empathetic and professional, communicated early and often, and patiently walked me through every option. They did thorough research and handled so much on their end that I was able to focus on my recovery/work/life with minimal disruption. So I highly recommend this firm.Posted on Yelp![]()
