How Installing a Dash Camera Can Help You in the Event of An Accident

Car accidents are an unfortunate reality of driving. Even the most cautious driver can be involved in a collision due to another driver’s negligence. When an accident occurs, it can be difficult to determine fault without evidence, and this is where installing a dash camera can be extremely helpful.

The following blog will detail why a dash camera impacts the outcome of a personal injury lawsuit, and also is beneficial for legal representation. 

What are the benefits of a dash camera installed in a car?

Now more than ever, safe driving should remain the utmost priority for Indiana drivers. According to the Traffic Safety Division of the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI), in 2020, the driver and passenger fatality rate per 100,000 citizens in Indiana was 13, representing higher numbers than in 2019. The increase represents a 10-year high of almost 14 per 100,000 reached in 2017. 

A dash camera is a small, windshield-mounted camera that records everything that happens on the road in front of the vehicle. It provides a detailed account of the events leading up to an accident, including the actions of both drivers. 

Benefits for a driver:

  1. Evidence in the event of an accident – If you are involved in a collision, a dash camera can prove who was at fault; this can be extremely helpful when dealing with insurance companies or in a legal dispute.
  2. Prevents fraud – Unfortunately, some people stage accidents to scam insurance companies. A dash camera can provide evidence that an accident was not your fault and prevent you from being held responsible for damages you did not cause.
  3. Discount on insurance premiums – Many insurance companies offer discounts for drivers with dash cameras installed in their vehicles. The camera provides evidence that can help determine fault in the event of an accident.

What are the benefits of a dash camera for a personal injury lawyer?

  1. Evidence in court A dash camera can provide invaluable evidence, mainly if there are conflicting accounts of what happened. This evidence can help your personal injury team build a strong case on your behalf.
  2. Faster settlement – With clear evidence of fault, insurance companies are more likely to settle claims quickly. Compelling evidence can save time and money for the client and the legal team.
  3. Reduced legal fees With clear evidence, settling without going to court is often easier and faster.
