Singleton Schreiber attorneys Brett Schreiber, Satyasrinivas M. Hanumadass, and Carmela S. Birnbaum were recently featured in The Washington Post in an article titled “Tesla has avoided trials with money. This case made it to court.” In the article, Schreiber and his team represent the family of Naibel Benavides Leon and crash survivor Dillon Angulo in a landmark federal trial in Miami, arguing that Tesla’s Autopilot technology contributed to the 2019 crash that killed Benavides Leon and severely injured Angulo.
Unlike several previous fatal crash cases that Tesla settled confidentially before trial, this case has proceeded to a jury. Schreiber told jurors, “We do not run from that fact,” acknowledging driver error but emphasizing that “every actor needs a stage. And Tesla set the stage for the preventable tragedy that brings us all here.”
