LEGAL ADVICE FROM FITCH & STAHLE LAW FIRM

The Impact of Autonomous Vehicles on Insurance and Liability: Preparing for the Future

By 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. If you’ve been in an accident involving an autonomous vehicle, don’t try to navigate this complicated legal landscape alone. Contact us today to discuss your case and learn about your legal options.

Navigating the Aftermath of a Traffic Collision: Legal Steps and Considerations

By Robert Stahle • March 19, 2025
Getting into a car accident is a stressful and overwhelming experience. As attorneys who have helped countless clients through the process, we understand just how confusing the aftermath can be. If you find yourself in this situation, knowing your rights and taking the right legal steps can make a huge difference in your case. First, always prioritize safety and medical attention. If you or anyone else is injured, call 911 immediately. Once everyone is safe, document as much as you can—take pictures, gather witness statements, and exchange information with the other driver. Next, it’s crucial to report the accident to your insurance company. However, we always advise our clients to be cautious about what they say. Insurance companies may try to minimize payouts or shift blame. Before making any statements, it’s best to speak with a lawyer who can guide you on how to proceed. At Fitch & Stahle, we specialize in helping car accident victims get the compensation they deserve. Whether you’re dealing with medical bills, lost wages, or pain and suffering, we’ll fight to ensure that you’re treated fairly. If you’ve been in an accident, reach out to us as soon as possible so we can start building your case.

Understanding Liability in Self-Driving Car Accidents: What You Need to Know

By Robert Stahle • March 13, 2025
At Fitch & Stahle Law Firm, we’ve seen firsthand how rapidly evolving technology is changing the legal landscape. One of the biggest shifts in recent years has been the rise of self-driving cars. If you’ve been in an accident involving an autonomous vehicle, you may be wondering: Who is responsible? Is it the driver, the car manufacturer, or even the software developer? Liability in self-driving car accidents isn’t always straightforward. Unlike traditional car accidents, where the fault is often placed on one of the drivers, self-driving vehicles introduce a new layer of complexity. Depending on the circumstances, responsibility could fall on multiple parties. The manufacturer might be liable if there was a software malfunction. The car’s owner could be at fault if they failed to properly maintain the vehicle or override its functions when necessary. As experienced car accident attorneys, we know how to navigate these complex cases. We can help you gather evidence, work with experts to analyze the technology involved, and fight for the compensation you deserve. If you or a loved one has been involved in a crash with a self-driving vehicle, don’t wait—contact us today for a consultation.
