Who's responsible when a self-driving car causes an accident and how do new seat belt laws affect your injury claim?
In this episode of Legal Live, Justin is joined by Florida personal injury attorney Eddie Farah to break down emerging vehicle liability issues, autonomous vehicle law, and recent changes to seat belt legislation in Florida and Georgia.
They discuss:
- Florida and Georgia seat belt laws, including Georgia's recent change allowing evidence of seat belt non-use at trial and how that affects injury claims.
- Autonomous and self-driving vehicle liability — who may be legally responsible when a self-driving car is involved in a crash.
- Vehicle rental liability and how fault is determined when a rented vehicle is involved in an accident.
- Florida PIP (Personal Injury Protection) coverage and what injuries are covered while using, maintaining, or occupying a vehicle.
Plus, callers ask real-world legal questions about:
- Liability when you loan your vehicle to someone else and they're involved in an accident
- Whether Florida PIP benefits apply after an accident that occurs out of state in Alabama
