【邓洪説法】起诉政府：自动驾驶车道缺陷导致的事故与“六个月”黄金索赔期 | Deng Law Center

进入 2026 年，南加州的道路正在发生翻天覆地的变化。当 Waymo 或特斯拉在街道上穿梭时，路面本身的状态变得至关重要。由邓洪律师（Daniel Deng）领军的邓洪律师事务所注意到，越来越多的车祸是由于路标磨损或车道线模糊导致自动驾驶系统“误判”引起的。在这种情况下，您的对手不仅是科技公司，更是负责道路维护的政府部门。

什么是“自动驾驶车道缺陷”？

自动驾驶汽车（AV）高度依赖清晰的车道线进行导航。如果相关政府机构（如 Caltrans 或洛杉矶市政府）未能维护好这些“机器可识别”的标志，导致车辆偏离车道或发生碰撞，根据《加州政府法典》第 835 条，这可能构成**“公共财产的危险状况”**。

致命的“六个月”诉讼时效

这是针对政府索赔中最容易被忽视、也最致命的规则。根据《加州政府索赔法案》：

1. 行政索赔： 您必须在事故发生后的 6 个月内 向相关政府机构提交书面索赔申请。这比普通私人车祸的两年轻起诉期要短得多。
2. 政府回应： 政府有 45 天时间作出回应。如果他们拒绝（这是常态），您从拒绝信发出之日起，只有 6 个月 的时间正式向法院提起诉讼。 错过其中任何一个“6个月”窗口，您的索赔权利都将依法被永久剥夺。

2026 年法律新背景：利用 AB 1777 维权

加州于 2026 年 7 月 1 日实施的 AB 1777 法案 允许警方对自动驾驶系统的违规行为开具“不合规通知”。邓洪律师事务所会将此作为突破口：如果系统因无法识别车道而违规，我们会调取车辆传感数据和“黑匣子”记录，证明政府在维护路面上的过失才是车祸的根本原因。

Suing the State for Autonomous Lane Defects: The 6-Month "Rule of Six"

In 2026, Southern California's roadways are evolving. While companies like Waymo and Tesla dominate the conversation, the silent partner in every autonomous trip is the government entity responsible for the road itself. At Deng Law Center, led by Daniel Deng, we are seeing a rise in "system-confusion" accidents where faded lane markings or poor signage cause an AV to deviate from its path. If a government-maintained defect caused your crash, you are not just fighting a tech giant—you are fighting the State, and your clock is ticking.

What is an "Autonomous Lane Defect"?

Autonomous vehicles rely on high-contrast lane markings and clear signage to navigate. A lane defect occurs when a public entity (like Caltrans or the City of Los Angeles) fails to maintain these markings to a standard that "machine vision" can reliably interpret. Under California Government Code § 835, the government can be held liable for injuries caused by a "dangerous condition of public property" if the risk was foreseeable and they had notice of the defect.

Why is the 6-Month Deadline the Most Critical Factor?

Under the California Government Claims Act, you do not have the typical two-year window to file a lawsuit. You must present a formal written claim to the responsible government agency within six (6) months of the accident.

• The 45-Day Rule: Once filed, the government has 45 days to respond.
• The Second 6-Month Window: If they reject your claim (which they often do), you have exactly six months from the date of that rejection letter to file a lawsuit in court. Missing any of these deadlines—often called the "Rule of Six"—will result in the permanent loss of your right to seek compensation.

Proving Negligence: The 2026 "AB 1777" Context

As of July 1, 2026, California’s AB 1777 allows police to issue "Notices of Noncompliance" to AV manufacturers. At Deng Law Center, we use these citations as a "Shield" for our clients. If a car was cited for a lane-departure violation, we investigate whether the roadway contributed to that failure. We leverage onboard sensor data and "Black Box" logs to prove that the government’s failure to paint a line was the proximate cause of the collision.
