The Impact of Autonomous Vehicles on Insurance and Liability: Preparing for the Future
Robert Stahle • March 26, 2025

Self-driving cars are no longer just a futuristic concept—they’re here. But with this new technology comes new legal challenges, especially when it comes to insurance and liability.
If you’ve been in an accident involving an autonomous vehicle, you might be wondering how this affects your claim.
In traditional accidents, insurance companies determine fault based on human error. With self-driving cars, the responsibility can be much harder to pinpoint. Is the car’s owner responsible for the crash?
Should the manufacturer be held accountable? What about the software developers who programmed the vehicle? These are the kinds of questions we help our clients answer.
As laws surrounding self-driving cars continue to evolve, it’s important to have an attorney who understands these changes and how they impact your case.
At Fitch & Stahle, we stay up to date on all the latest developments so we can provide our clients with the best possible representation.
