Does Dash Camera Video Aid in a Massachusetts Car Accident Case?

During a car accident, many things are happening all at one time. Along with coping with the sudden shock, you must also recall all of the events that led to the accident when the time comes. This can be a difficult task, and often, details are left out or forgotten. This is where the usefulness of the dashboard camera can come into play.

If the parties involved in the accident try to blame the other, dash camera video could be a valuable piece of evidence. The video taken by a dash camera is impartial and only records what happened; there is no adding or subtracting from the story. Any inconsistencies with testimony can easily be refuted with this video footage. Also, if you were the victim of a hit-and-run, the dash camera footage will show that you were hit and potentially get the details of the vehicle, such as license plate number and type of vehicle, thereby bringing them to justice.

Each insurance company has its own set of guidelines that state whether or not they will consider dash camera footage. In many cases, insurance companies see videos and photographs as having equal weight in a claim. The adjuster will decide if they wish to view the video or not. If it helps the case, they will more than likely want to see it. However, a knowledgeable Fall River car accident lawyer could review the video and help you choose the best course of action.

Attorney Paul d’Oliveira has been practicing personal injury and disability law for over 30 years. He started his personal injury law practice in 1989 with two offices in Fall River, MA and East Providence, RI. Today his firm has 15 offices in RI and Southeastern, MA.
