Dashcam Footage

// GET THE COMPENSATION YOU DESERVE

Our Boca Raton Car Crash Attorneys Can Utilize Dashcam Footage to Bolster Your Claim’s Chance of Success

While pieces of evidence like eyewitness testimony, photos, videos and police reports are all essential building blocks to your auto accident claim’s narrative, they may not fully and clearly represent the reality of the accident from your perspective. As a result, it can sometimes be difficult for victims to feel that the full extent of their trauma has been accurately represented and accounted for when calculating compensation. Dashcam footage is unique in that it offers a real-time, unfiltered view of the events leading up to and following a collision. It gives others a first-hand perspective of your experience in the moment, solidifying your case’s credibility and helping viewers, including insurance companies, understand the trauma you experienced.

At Kanner & Pintaluga, our Boca Raton auto accident attorneys have experience strengthening cases with (and without) dashcam footage and will bolster your case to give you the best chance of securing the compensation you deserve.

Which Car Brands Have Dashcams?

Some drivers also purchase and install third-party dashcams on vehicles that don’t have them built in. There are many affordable models available, and installing one can be an affordable way to protect yourself if you are involved in a crash.

Is Dashcam Footage Admissible?

Yes. While not every vehicle is equipped with a dashcam, the amount of those that do is steadily increasing. Effectively, dashcam footage is the same as surveillance footage. These records are also typically time stamped and verifiable, enhancing their admissibility as evidence of how the crash occurred.

Why Dashcam Footage Is Crucial Evidence

Dashcams can record every aspect of the accident, such as if the car braked, how the driver was steering, what they were doing at the time of the accident and so on. Because it’s able to record the view of the driver, it can highlight the severity of the accident in your claim’s narrative, justifying maximum compensation for your claim. Dashcam footage from surrounding vehicles provided to law enforcement, insurance companies or attorneys may also provide other angles of exactly what occurred and when.

Since this footage occurs in real-time, it can also corroborate your account of the accident to insurance companies and other parties, giving weight to your version of events and countering alternative narratives from the other driver.

Dashcam footage is especially useful in hit-and-run accidents. Footage from your dashboard or the dashcams of other nearby vehicles can prove crucial in identifying the fleeing vehicle and helping law enforcement apprehend the at-fault driver.

Can Dashcam Footage Help Even If the Accident Didn’t Occur on Camera?

Dashcam footage can be tricky in rear-end accidents or if the collision occurred outside of the camera’s field of vision. However, it can still be beneficial even if the collision itself wasn’t recorded. Footage capturing the scene and what led up to the accident can help provide crucial context that will help both parties better understand what incited the collision.

For example, if you had to stop suddenly because a pedestrian crossed in front of you, and were subsequently rear-ended, dashcam footage can help establish that you were forced to stop.

All that said, not having dashcam footage — whether because your car doesn’t come with a dashcam or because the footage was somehow obstructed — won’t make or break your case if you’re working with a zealous Boca Raton auto accident attorney.

There’s potentially an abundance of evidence to be collected after an auto accident. Photos and videos of the aftermath, reports from accident reconstruction experts, medical records, diagnostic test results and bills can all be valuable in increasing your chances of claim success.
