3 Ways To Obtain Video Footage Of An Accident For Your Personal Injury Claim

When you are injured in an automobile accident and are left to fight a battle with the insurance company to get the money you deserve, every shred of evidence you can get to prove your claim is worth a great deal in court. While pictures may be worth 1,000 words, video footage of an accident leaves little question about what happened during the incident. Therefore, obtaining video footage of your accident could be the evidence you need to prove what happened. If you have been involved in an auto accident in an urban area, there are three ways you may be able to get valuable video footage of your accident to use during your claim.

Check with local business owners for surveillance footage from security cameras. 

In modern society, many types of businesses have security cameras on site as a measure of safety against thieves and vandals. Therefore, you may be able to obtain video surveillance footage by checking with the businesses close to where the accident occurred. Even if their cameras were not centered on the roadway, there is a chance that they caught part of the accident on film in the background, which will still be helpful for your case. 

Check with the local department of highways for traffic regulation footage. 

In some urban areas, it is common for there to be surveillance cameras mounted in places like on stop lights, at busy intersections, and on toll roads. These cameras are not always visible or known about by the general public, so even if you do not see a camera, it does not mean there isn't one there. Check with the local transportation department or department of highways to find out if there could be surveillance footage available of the area where the accident occurred.  

Check with other drivers who were present at the time of the accident. 

Dash-mounted cameras are a common device in cars, and they are getting more popular because of the fact that drivers never know what they will run into on the highway and often need to prove things to an insurer. If you are lucky, one of the vehicles who was in the vicinity of the accident had one of these dash-mounted cameras on their vehicle and may have footage of what happened. If you gathered witness names after the accident, contact these people and ask if they could've caught the event on a camera from their vehicle. 

A professional auto accident attorney can also help you explore your options and gather the video evidence you need to prove your case, so talk with a local law firm in your area today for help.
