🔧 General Questions

While you cannot sue a robot directly (they're not legal entities), you can sue the robot's owner, manufacturer, operator, or designer. Liability falls on the humans and corporations responsible for the robot's design, deployment, and supervision. Think of it like suing the company that made a defective product, not the product itself.

AI systems are created, trained, and deployed by people and companies. If an AI makes a harmful decision, the developers, operators, or companies that implemented the system can be held liable for negligence, design defects, or failure to properly test and monitor the technology. AI doesn't absolve human responsibility.

You may have a case in both scenarios. If the robot malfunctioned, it could be a product liability case against the manufacturer. If it operated as designed but still caused harm, it could be a design defect case, proving the design was inherently dangerous. We'll evaluate which legal theory applies to your specific situation.

Robot injury cases combine elements of product liability, premises liability, workplace safety, and emerging technology law. While the fundamental legal principles remain similar to personal injury law, robot cases require specialized knowledge of technology, AI systems, and evolving regulations. That's why you need attorneys who understand both law and technology.

Waivers and terms of service agreements don't always prevent you from filing a lawsuit. Many waivers are unenforceable, especially if they attempt to waive liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or violations of consumer protection laws. We'll review any agreements you signed to determine if they're legally binding in your case.

💰 Legal Process & Costs

We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we win your case, taking a percentage of the settlement or verdict (typically 33-40%). Your initial consultation is completely free with no obligation. If we don't win, you don't pay attorney fees.

Robot injury cases typically take 6 months to 3 years, depending on complexity, severity of injuries, and whether the case settles or goes to trial. Cases involving large tech companies may take longer due to their legal resources. We'll give you a realistic timeline during your consultation and keep you updated throughout the process.

You may be entitled to compensation for: medical expenses (past and future), lost wages and earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, disability and disfigurement, rehabilitation costs, property damage, and in some cases, punitive damages. Each case is unique, and we'll work to maximize your recovery based on the specific circumstances of your injury.

Many robot injury cases settle out of court through negotiations. However, if the defendant refuses to offer fair compensation, we're fully prepared to take your case to trial. We'll advise you on the best strategy and handle all court proceedings if necessary. You'll be involved in major decisions but we'll handle the legal heavy lifting.

Yes! Statutes of limitations vary by state and type of claim, typically ranging from 1-3 years from the date of injury or discovery. Waiting too long can permanently bar your claim. Contact us as soon as possible after your injury to protect your rights and preserve important evidence.

Helpful evidence includes: photos/videos of the incident scene, medical records and bills, witness contact information, robot model/serial numbers, incident reports, software version logs, maintenance records, and any communications with the robot's operator or manufacturer. Don't worry if you don't have everything - we have investigators and technical experts who can help gather evidence.

🤖 Specific Robot Types

Autonomous vehicle cases are one of our specialties. Liability may fall on the vehicle manufacturer, software developer, sensor manufacturer, the vehicle owner, or even the human "driver" if they failed to take control when required. We work with accident reconstruction experts and automotive technology specialists to determine who's at fault.

Yes! While workers' compensation may be your primary remedy against your employer, you can also file a product liability lawsuit against the robot manufacturer, maintenance company, or software provider. We often pursue both workers' comp claims and third-party lawsuits to maximize your compensation.

Surgical robot cases combine medical malpractice with product liability. You may have claims against the surgeon (for operator error), the hospital (for inadequate training), and the robot manufacturer (for design or manufacturing defects). These cases require medical experts who understand both robotic surgery and traditional surgical standards of care.

Absolutely. Delivery drone injuries can result from crashes, falling packages, or privacy violations. Potential defendants include the drone manufacturer, the delivery company (Amazon, Google, etc.), the operator, and property owners where the drone was launched. We handle cases involving both physical injuries and property damage.

If you relied on an AI assistant (like a chatbot, virtual doctor, or financial advisor) and suffered harm from its advice, you may have a case. These claims often involve negligent design, failure to warn, or misrepresentation. We examine whether the AI provider adequately disclosed the system's limitations and potential risks.

Yes! We take on Big Tech. Companies like Tesla, Amazon, Google, Boston Dynamics, and others have vast legal resources, but that doesn't intimidate us. We have the expertise, resources, and track record to hold major corporations accountable for the harm their robots and AI systems cause.

📋 Your Specific Case

Strong robot injury cases typically involve: significant injuries or damages, clear evidence the robot caused the harm, identifiable defendants with resources to pay, evidence of negligence or defect, and documentation of the incident. Schedule a free consultation and we'll honestly assess your case's strengths and potential challenges.

Defense attorneys often claim "user error" to deflect blame. We counter this by demonstrating inadequate warnings, poor design, insufficient training, or failure to implement proper safety features. Even if you share some fault, you may still recover damages under comparative negligence laws (though your recovery may be reduced proportionally).

Never accept an initial settlement offer without consulting an attorney. Insurance companies routinely low-ball offers, hoping you'll settle quickly for less than your case is worth. Once you accept a settlement, you typically can't pursue additional compensation later. Let us evaluate any offer to ensure it's fair and covers all your damages.

You should still contact us immediately. We can protect your rights, preserve evidence, and start building your case while you focus on recovery. We typically wait to settle until you reach "maximum medical improvement" so we can accurately calculate all past and future medical costs. However, starting the legal process early is crucial to meet deadlines.

Yes. Family members can file a wrongful death lawsuit seeking damages for funeral expenses, lost financial support, lost companionship, and pain and suffering. Who can file varies by state (typically spouses, children, or parents). We handle these tragic cases with compassion while aggressively pursuing justice for your loved one.

During your free consultation, we'll: listen to your story, review any documentation you have, explain your legal options, assess the strength of your case, answer all your questions, and discuss our contingency fee arrangement. There's no pressure and no obligation - just honest legal advice about whether we can help you.
