Can Intersection Camera Footage Help My Car Accident Case?

Intersection

If you were involved in a car accident near an intersection camera, you may be wondering if the footage from the camera can help your compensation claim. If your accident was caught on an intersection camera, the footage from the camera is most likely admissible in your case. The intersection camera recording may be helpful in your case. However, depending on what is on the recording, the footage could potentially work against you.

Camera Footage Can Help or Hurt Your Case

Footage from the intersection camera that captured your accident can be highly beneficial in your case. If the footage shows the other driver’s negligent actions, such as speeding, it can help determine they are liable for the accident. The footage may be used to recreate your accident and provide a clearer understanding of what happened.

However, as already mentioned, camera footage can also work against you. If the footage reveals negligent behavior on your part, such as speeding or distracted driving, such evidence can be used against you. Camera footage can also work against you if the footage contradicts any statements you made regarding the events leading up to your accident. Therefore, you need to be careful when dealing with camera footage.

How To Get Footage From an Intersection Camera

You can request the footage from the organization or government agency that manages the intersection camera. This could be the transportation department, local police department, traffic management agency, or another relevant authority. After determining which organization or agency manages the intersection camera, you will need to submit an official request for the footage. A qualified attorney can make the process of getting footage from an intersection camera easier. An attorney can also help you secure other evidence that can help strengthen your case.

What Other Evidence Can You Use in Your Case Besides the Intersection Camera Recording?

Whether or not the intersection camera recording is helpful to your case, you should have other evidence to strengthen your case. Your attorney can help you gather other evidence that can help you build a strong case. The following are examples of other types of evidence that you can use in your car accident case;

  • Police reports: A police report may include a description of how your accident happened. In some cases, police officers even indicate in their reports who they believe is to blame for the accident.
  • Witness testimonies: If other people saw your accident happen, their accounts of what they saw can help support your case.
  • Pictures: Photos taken at the accident scene can greatly benefit your car accident case.
  • Cell phone records: If you believe the other driver was distracted driving, specifically that they were using their phone while driving, cell phone records can be subpoenaed to check for texts or calls during the time of your accident.
