Why Are Car Accidents Involving Teslas More Complicated?

Our Tesla car accident lawyers are equipped to handle these issues. Self-driving cars complicate motor vehicle accidents. That is where our Tesla accident attorney can help you.

Our lawyers work with technology experts to interpret this data correctly. Our personal injury lawyer ensures it supports your case effectively. This meticulous approach is essential for addressing the sophisticated systems within Tesla vehicles.
Why Teslas Are Easier To Total Than Gasoline Cars
Due to their design and construction, Teslas often suffer great damage in accidents, more so than many gasoline cars. The placement of batteries and the structural components of Tesla vehicles make them susceptible to extensive damage.
Even a minor self-driving car accident can total a Tesla Model S, leading to a higher likelihood of the car being declared a total loss by insurance companies.
Repairing a Tesla can be more costly and complicated than repairing traditional cars. Specialized parts and the need for certified technicians increase repair costs. This often leads insurers to declare Teslas a total loss rather than approve costly repairs. An accident involving a Tesla can easily become a total loss.
Common Causes of Tesla Car Accidents
Tesla car accidents can occur for many of the same reasons as any other car accident. Still, specific factors are more prevalent due to Tesla vehicles' unique characteristics.
Distracted Driving
Distracted driving is a leading cause of Tesla car accidents. Drivers often become overly reliant on Tesla's advanced features, like autopilot, which reduces their attention. Drivers need to stay fully engaged, even with these advanced systems.
Drunk Driving
Drunk driving remains a critical issue, even with advanced vehicle technologies. Impaired drivers can cause serious accidents, regardless of vehicle type, including Teslas. Drunk driving can play a role in car accidents involving Teslas.
Tired Driving
Driver fatigue is particularly dangerous in Tesla vehicles, as drivers might overly trust autopilot features. Drivers must remain alert and maintain control over the vehicle at all times.
Poor Weather Conditions
Like all cars, Teslas can struggle in poor weather conditions. Even with Tesla's advanced stability and traction controls, slippery roads can affect vehicle traction, leading to a car accident.
Autopilot and Self-Driving Errors
While Tesla's autopilot features offer noteworthy advancements in vehicle safety, they are not infallible. If the system misinterprets road conditions or malfunctions, errors can occur, leading to accidents. Autopilot system issues are known to contribute to crashes in Teslas.
Battery Fires and Electrical Issues
Large lithium-ion batteries that power Tesla vehicles can catch fire in the event of an accident. Electrical issues can also arise, complicating the safe operation of the vehicle. Battery fires in Teslas can lead to serious accidents and major injuries.
Software Glitches and Updates
Software issues in Tesla cars can lead to unexpected behaviors. Updates can sometimes introduce bugs that affect the car's performance, potentially leading to accidents. Tesla software updates can cause problems for drivers.
Lack of Proper Maintenance
It is crucial to maintain a Tesla vehicle according to manufacturer guidelines. Neglect in maintenance can lead to mechanical failures that might cause accidents. Tesals, like other vehicles, need proper maintenance. Of course, lack of maintenance on the part of the other driver can also contribute to an accident.
What You Should Do After a Tesla Car Accident
A few steps to follow after a car accident involving a Tesla include:
-
Check for injuries. Immediately check yourself and others for injuries. Call 911 if medical assistance is needed.
-
Document the scene. Take photos of the accident scene, including all vehicles involved, to document the conditions and damage.
-
Exchange information. Exchange contact and insurance information with the other driver, but avoid discussing fault.

Importance of Data from Tesla's Onboard Computer

Obtaining Video Footage from Tesla's Cameras
Many Tesla models have cameras that record footage, which can be invaluable in reconstructing the accident. Our team works to secure this footage as it can decisively demonstrate what happened during the incident.
