The Time-Sensitive Nature of Traffic Camera Footage
In the aftermath of a car accident, securing evidence as quickly as possible might significantly impact the outcome of your claim. Traffic camera footage, which is designed to monitor intersections and record traffic incidents, can be a valuable resource. However, it usually has a limited lifespan, typically stored anywhere from 30 to 90 days before being overwritten or erased. Understanding the urgency, our firm acts promptly to preserve crucial evidence. We initiate legal processes, such as filing subpoenas, to access this time-sensitive information on your behalf. We work quickly to ensure that your legal rights are protected.
BEING MINDFUL OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS: A POST-ACCIDENT CHECKLIST
In the chaotic moments following an accident, injured victims may overlook crucial details that can significantly affect their claims. Identifying potential sources of evidence, such as traffic or red-light cameras, private business surveillance, and even dash cams, becomes crucial in building a strong case. At Brian D. Guralnick Injury Lawyers, we will shepherd you through the process of identifying and securing potential sources of evidence. From red light cameras to private business surveillance, we ensure a comprehensive approach to gathering evidence to support your case. Our firm understands the types of evidence that will be important to your case, and most importantly, we understand how to best gather that evidence to support your case.
The most common type of camera to look for near your accident is a traffic or red-light camera. These types of cameras can be found at certain intersections around Florida, but most often, the only way to secure footage from these cameras is to have an attorney ask for the footage on your behalf. Our team has over three decades of experience working with accident victims to identify all necessary evidence, including traffic camera footage. If you were involved in a car crash and there might be camera footage of the responsible driver causing your injuries, call us today to get help retrieving that valuable evidence.
SEEKING LEGAL SUPPORT FOR EVIDENCE RETRIEVAL
Understanding that not all cameras capture every moment, and that footage is often fleeting, seeking legal assistance promptly is crucial. Brian D.

When you reach out to our firm, we expedite the legal processes needed to secure evidence. Our legal professionals file subpoenas promptly, compelling relevant entities to release video footage.

THE REALITY OF LIMITED CAMERA COVERAGE: A CAUTIONARY NOTE
Despite the presence of cameras, the harsh reality is that not all incidents are captured. Acknowledging this limitation, our team emphasizes the importance of additional evidence gathering at the scene to ensure a comprehensive approach to building a strong case. We guide you on gathering additional evidence at the scene, recognizing that traffic cameras may not capture every crucial moment. Our goal is to ensure a comprehensive and robust foundation for your case.
EXERCISING CAUTION: MITIGATING SELF-INCRIMINATION AND SOCIAL MEDIA PITFALLS
After an accident, you may be asked to provide a statement to your insurance company or to the insurer providing coverage to the at-fault driver. However, it’s essential to avoid inadvertent self-incrimination during these conversations. Even seemingly innocuous statements can be misconstrued by insurance companies. Let our firm assist you with communicating effectively with insurance adjusters, ensuring that you provide the necessary information without compromising your case. We emphasize the importance of cautious social media use, helping you navigate potential pitfalls during the claims process. When it comes to helping clients recover from an accident and protect their legal rights, our firm doesn’t compromise. You can trust us to guide you through the process.
PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE: EQUIPPING YOUR VEHICLE FOR ADDED PROTECTION
Recognizing that accidents can happen anywhere and evidence may not always be readily available, our legal team recommends proactive measures. Installing dash cams in your vehicle provides an additional layer of protection, offering hard evidence that can simplify the claims process. We encourage accident victims to consider the proactive step of installing dash cams in their vehicles. In the unfortunate event of an accident, this provides immediate evidence that can significantly impact the resolution of your claim.
