Tesla’s autopilot feature can make knowing who bears financial liability difficult, but you don’t have to figure it out alone. We can navigate a complicated lawsuit like this at the Law Offices of Wolf & Pravato. Our Florida car accident lawyers can investigate your accident, identify its cause, and document the use and condition of the autopilot feature at the time of the collision.

How Our Car Accident Lawyers Handle Your Tesla Lawsuit in Florida
If a negligent Tesla driver crashed into you, we will seek compensation from the owner’s insurance company. Moreover, if the Tesla owner had the car on autopilot during the crash, the carmaker could bear some financial liability.
To understand who is responsible for compensating you and to strengthen and support your self-driving car accident case, we will:
- Consult Tesla vehicle experts and other autopilot specialists
- Request an inspection of the at-fault vehicle
- Collect a comprehensive evidence file
- Assess the financial value of your case
- Canvass for photos and video footage
- Speak with interested parties on your behalf
- Clarify complex legal terminology and jargon
- Negotiate the best available settlement for you
Our team members also respond promptly to any questions and concerns you have and provide ongoing updates on the progress of your case.

Compensation We Demand for Victims of Tesla Car Accidents
After a car accident, you can recover damages from the at-fault driver and their insurance company. Economic damages are tangible, easily documented, and usually include the following:
- Current and future medical bills
- Current and future loss of income
- Loss of future earning capacity
- Property damage or destruction
- Diminished property value
Noneconomic damages after a car crash can be challenging to determine a monetary value because of their intangible nature. They usually include the following:
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Mental anguish
- Pain and suffering
- Physical disability
- Physical disfigurement
Our familiarity with car accident cases means we can accurately calculate your intangible damages. We’ll also collect evidence that proves the value of your entire compensation request.

At the Law Offices of Wolf & Pravato, our wrongful death lawyers will pursue damages for your family after the loss of a loved one. Wrongful death compensation includes funeral and burial expenses, loss of financial and familial support, and loss of consortium, companionship, and guidance.
We will handle your family’s case with kindness and compassion. We will clarify who can file a wrongful death action on behalf of your family and which family members can receive compensation.
Please focus on taking care of each other. Our law firm will handle every aspect of your case.
How to Define Financial Liability for a Tesla Accident
A negligent driver is responsible for their actions in causing a car accident. Some common causes of negligence-based accidents include:
- Distracted driving
- Speeding
- Recklessness
- Drunk driving
Unfortunately, determining negligence, fault, and financial liability might not be apparent in an accident involving a self-driving Tesla. For instance, a recent Reuters article cites National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) concerns about the Tesla autopilot system in the aftermath of a recent accident in Orlando.
Don’t tax yourself with the messy details of handling your Tesla accident case. Our team will determine the appropriate at-fault party and file an insurance claim or car accident lawsuit against them. Contact our team today to get your free case review.
You Have a Limited Window to File Your Tesla Lawsuit in Florida
The personal injury statute of limitations is generally two years from the date of the accident, according to Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(a). Similarly, according to Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(e), the wrongful death statute of limitations is generally two years.
If you fail to file your lawsuit on time:
- The court will bar you from filing.
- The insurer will stop negotiating.
- You could end up getting far less than you deserve.
Missing the filing deadline will leave you with no legal avenue to pursue compensation. However, exceptions could apply that provide more time. Thus, the best way to avoid an expired filing deadline is to let our legal team handle your claim.
