Why Choosing the Right Tesla Accident Lawyer Matters
Tesla crashes look like โstandardโ car accidents at first glance, but they often involve additional layers of evidence, unique technical questions, and aggressive insurance defense tactics. This is especially true when driver-assist features are involved.
Publicly reported federal crash data has linked Tesla Autopilot to hundreds of crashes since 2019, including fatal incidents. That matters because in a Tesla-related collision, your case may hinge on preserving vehicle data, understanding how a driver-assist feature was being used, and identifying every liable partyโnot just the driver.
Crashes involving Teslas can occur due to:
- Autopilot or driver-assist misuse or overreliance
- System malfunction, sensor failure, or software-related issues
- Sudden braking, unexpected acceleration, or other vehicle behavior concerns
- Distracted driving, speed, or unsafe lane changes by a Tesla driver
- Severe crash forces due to vehicle weight and impact dynamics
This is why boutique representation matters. Tesla accident claims often require fast action to preserve evidence and a litigation strategy built for complex liability disputes. Before you accept an early offer, contact Peerali Law for a free case review.

CASE STUDY
$5.2 Million Settlement for a Los Angeles Woman Struck by a Vehicle
Peerali Law secured a $5,200,000 confidential settlement for a Los Angeles woman who sustained catastrophic injuries after being struck by a car. Our client was walking along a sidewalk when the accident occurred. Despite her injuries, the defendantโs insurance company disputed liability. However, Kristopher Peerali conducted a thorough investigation, ultimately proving that the defendantโs client made an unsafe turn and clipped an oncoming vehicle. The case was resolved pre-trial for $5.2 million.
This is one example of how proper classification and strategic litigation can multiply case value. Additional proven personal injury results include:
- $16.3M settlement for premises liability catastrophic injury
- $4M settlement for wrongful death caused by product liability
- $968k settlement for sensational lost after accident in transport vehicle
- $750k settlement for severe leg injury at a short-term rental property

What Counts as a Tesla Accident Injury?
Not every crash leads to a viable claim, and not every crash involving a Tesla involves the same issues. A strong Tesla accident case generally requires two things: a valid personal injury claim (negligence + damages) and a clear explanation of why the Tesla-related facts matter to liability or evidence.
Peerali Law typically evaluates Tesla accident claims using factors such as:
- You suffered a documented injury requiring medical care
- Another party was negligent
- Driver-assist features are relevant to how the collision occurred
- There is evidence to preserve quickly
- Liability is disputed or multiple parties may share fault
- The crash caused a fatality or permanent life impact (often overlapping with catastrophic injury cases)
If you believe your Tesla-related crash involves any of these factors, we can review your case for free and tell you exactly where you stand.
How Much Are the Legal Fees?
At Peerali Law, we operate on a no-win, no-fee model. This means you pay nothing upfront, and you owe us nothing unless we win your case.
Across the United States, contingency fees for personal injury cases generally range from 33%-40%, and may increase if a case goes to trial. Some firms also add extra fees or charge back expenses to the clientโoften without making this clear at the start of representation.
We donโt believe in hidden costs. Peerali Law provides transparent, written fee agreements so you know exactly what to expect. Many of our clients appreciate that we honor the terms of our contractsโwith no surprise charges later. As one client shared in a five-star review:
โI am very happy with the settlement resultsโฆ Peerali Law firm also did not charge me extra money as agreed upon in the retainer contract. They honored to stay at their minimum fee which meant a lot to me.โ โ L.F. (Yelp Review)
