We’ve all seen videos on Facebook, YouTube, and other websites of car accidents featuring dash cam footage. Often, these recordings shed light on the true party responsible for the collision. But how does a dash cam operate and can it effectively help prove negligence in a legal case?
Let’s delve into these common questions:
How does a dash cam work?
Dashboard cameras are cameras that are mounted/attached to the interior windshield of a vehicle. They capture real-time footage of traffic and accidents that might occur in front of your vehicle. In the event of an accident, dashcams work as impartial eyewitnesses that can provide evidence to support claims of negligence.
Does dash cam footage hold value in a lawsuit?
Dash cam footage has the potential to prove negligence in a lawsuit. If you or another party involved in an accident possesses dash cam footage, it may be necessary to present this evidence in court. It’s important to note that if footage fails to clearly establish fault, it could potentially be used to refute your personal injury claim.
