Hit by a Self-Driving Car in Dallas? Here’s What to Do Next

Self-driving cars are already on the road in Dallas, and when something goes wrong, the wrecks can be life-changing. If you’ve been hit by a self-driving car, the legal process isn’t the same as a regular accident, and you shouldn’t face it alone.

At1-800TruckWreck, we help injured people hold tech companies, auto manufacturers, and negligent operators accountable. Our Dallas self-driving car wreck lawyers know how to dig into the technology, uncover what failed, and fight for the compensation you need to move forward.

After the Crash: What You Need to Do Immediately

If you're hit by a self-driving vehicle, whether it's a Tesla, an autonomous delivery van, or a rideshare car using autopilot, your next steps matter:

• Call 911 right away. Get medical help and make sure there’s an official police report.
• Document the scene if you can. Take pictures of the damage, road conditions, skid marks, and any signage.
• Collect information. Get details from the vehicle, including the license plate number, any company branding, and the name of a backup driver if there was one.
• Go to the doctor. Even if you feel okay, injuries like brain trauma and spinal issues can surface later.
• Call 1-800TruckWreck. We’ll send our Rapid Response Team to start gathering evidence before it disappears.

Who’s to Blame When a Self-Driving Car Causes a Wreck?

Unlike regular car wrecks, autonomous vehicle cases are complex. Fault might lie with:

• The vehicle manufacturer if a sensor or software glitch caused the crash.
• A rideshare company like Uber or Lyft if the vehicle was part of their fleet.
• A third-party tech provider that offered faulty mapping or AI navigation.
• A human backup driver who failed to take control in time.

We’ve seen cases where several parties share responsibility, and we go after all of them.

Why the Self-Driving Car Risk Is Growing in Dallas

Waymo, the self-driving car company backed by Google, is bringing its driverless robotaxi service to Dallas in 2026. That means cars with no one behind the wheel will be navigating our streets, highways, and intersections within months.

We’ve already seen problems. The federal government investigated Waymo after crashes involving poles, gates, and parked cars, things a human driver might easily avoid. These aren’t minor glitches. When autonomous tech fails, real people get hurt.

At 1-800TruckWreck, we’re tracking these developments and already preparing for more self-driving car cases in Dallas. If one of these vehicles causes a wreck, we know how to get answers and hold the companies accountable.
