Sharing Economy – Autonomous Vehicles

Overview

Cetrulo LLP handles autonomous vehicle, ride-sharing, and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) litigation throughout New England and the Mid-Atlantic. The firm has presented and published on automated vehicle litigation through the Defense Research Institute (DRI) and continues to monitor emerging case law, regulatory developments, and national litigation trends involving autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicle technologies.

Our attorneys have substantial experience defending complex motor vehicle accident, wrongful death, catastrophic injury, transportation, and product liability matters involving vehicles equipped with ADAS technologies. In these cases, Cetrulo LLP routinely works with accident reconstructionists, data extraction specialists, and other technical experts to preserve, extract, and analyze electronic vehicle data, including event data recorder (EDR) information, onboard system data, vehicle telemetry, digital extractions, surveillance footage, and other forensic evidence.

Cetrulo LLP also has extensive experience defending ride-share operators and sharing economy companies in high-exposure litigation. The firm has successfully defended wrongful death and catastrophic injury claims involving sophisticated electronic evidence, second-by-second accident reconstructions, contested discovery, and complex evidentiary issues related to digital data preservation and analysis. Working closely with leading technical experts, Cetrulo LLP develops comprehensive defense strategies from the earliest stages of litigation through trial.

Because autonomous vehicle litigation often centers on accident reconstruction, product liability, software and system performance, electronic data preservation, and expert-driven analysis, Cetrulo LLP is well positioned to defend manufacturers, technology companies, insurers, fleet operators, and ride-sharing platforms in these evolving and technically complex cases.
