At Wind Law LLC, our Richmond car accident attorney knows that not all vehicle collisions are caught on video. In fact, with seemingly endless rural areas and roads in Virginia, it is difficult to believe there would be camera footage of accidents outside most city limits.
However, only 26% of Virginians live in these rural communities despite occupying such a large area. By contrast, according to the latest statistics, nearly three-quarters of Virginians live in neighborhoods that residents believe are urban or suburban. Public, private, and government-owned cameras often surveil these areas. This footage can be instrumental in proving liability in many personal injury cases, including traffic collisions, premises liability claims, and construction and work accidents.
How Can Wind Law, LLC Obtain Video Footage from a Crash Scene?
When determining who was liable for a car crash with injuries, which is necessary to pursue the damages caused by the crash, our auto accident lawyers in Richmond will investigate the collision using multiple resources.
They include, but are not limited to, the law enforcement crash report, witness statements, vehicle damage, and a crash site analysis to get the full scope of how the accident occurred and who was responsible.
There is also a viable resource that can pinpoint the cause of the crash without opinion or bias: video footage.
Some of the most common video footage that may tell the story of your accident may include:
ATM cameras.
Business or home video surveillance cameras.
Cellphone footage is purposefully or inadvertently captured by witnesses.
Doorbell cameras.
Gas station cameras.
Traffic cameras.
Vehicle recording devices.
If you have been injured in a vehicle collision in Virginia, call 911 immediately to ensure a police report is completed at the crash scene and filed for the record. This will provide the exact time, date, and location of the crash, allowing our skilled auto accident attorney to scour the area for potential video footage.
Once we determine there is evidence that can help prove negligence occurred during the collision, we will legally research, request, and review the video footage from the owner, with their permission.
