Waymo Robotaxi Accidents in Miami – What Residents Need to Know

Waymo’s autonomous robotaxis are beginning service in Miami, bringing driverless technology to busy neighborhoods like Brickell, Downtown, Miami Beach, Wynwood, Coral Gables, Hialeah, and Doral. While self-driving vehicles show promising safety data, crashes involving autonomous cars can still happen. If you are injured in a collision with a Waymo vehicle, it is important to understand your rights.

Wolfson & Leon has represented accident victims across Florida since 1963. Our Miami autonomous vehicle accident lawyers help injured people pursue full compensation after driverless car crashes.

Are Waymo Vehicles Safe?

Independent studies show that Waymo’s driverless cars have significantly lower crash and injury rates compared to human drivers. Even so, crashes may occur due to:

  • Human drivers hitting a Waymo
  • Software or sensor misinterpretation
  • Construction zones or unclear road markings
  • Heavy pedestrian or cyclist movement
  • Weather and visibility issues common in Miami

If a Waymo vehicle injures you—whether you were a passenger, pedestrian, cyclist, or another driver—you may have a right to compensation.

Who Pays After a Waymo Accident in Miami?

Under Florida law, Waymo operates as an “on-demand autonomous vehicle network.” This classification requires:

  • $1,000,000 in liability coverage
  • PIP coverage
  • UM/UIM coverage to be offered, but Waymo may reject it

This means injured victims may need to rely on:

  • Waymo’s commercial liability coverage
  • Their own PIP benefits
  • Their personal UM/UIM policy if Waymo rejected UM/UIM

Wolfson & Leon can review all available insurance sources to help maximize your recovery.

What to Do After a Waymo Robotaxi Crash

If you are injured in a Waymo crash:

  1. Call 911
  2. Take photos and video of the scene and the Waymo vehicle
  3. Get the Waymo vehicle ID number
  4. Gather witness names and phone numbers
  5. Seek immediate medical care
  6. Do NOT speak to Waymo or its insurance company
  7. Call Wolfson & Leon at (305) 285-1115

FAQ – Waymo Robotaxi Accidents in Miami

1. What should I do if I am a passenger injured in a Waymo?

You may have claims through Waymo’s liability insurance, your PIP, and possibly your own UM/UIM. Call Wolfson & Leon to discuss your rights before speaking with Waymo.

2. What if a Waymo vehicle hits my car?

You may seek compensation through Waymo’s $1 million liability coverage. If damages exceed the policy or fault is disputed, your UM/UIM policy may apply.

3. What if Waymo rejected UM/UIM coverage?

Your own UM/UIM coverage may be essential. Many Florida drivers carry limited coverage, making UM/UIM extremely important for serious injuries.

4. Can pedestrians or cyclists file a claim after a Waymo crash?

Yes. Injured pedestrians and cyclists may recover from Waymo’s liability coverage and, in some cases, their own PIP or UM/UIM policies.

5. Do I need a lawyer for a Waymo accident claim?

Autonomous vehicle claims involve technical data, sensor logs, and complex liability issues. An experienced Miami Waymo accident lawyer can help maximize your compensation and protect your rights.
