At the Hollingsworth Law Firm, our Houston personal injury attorneys know that traffic cameras, surveillance footage, and even residential video doorbell cameras catch nearly everything that happens — even in a state as big as Texas.
This includes everything from car accidents and slip-and-fall incidents to industrial and warehouse accidents.
The question is, how can personal injury victims access this technology to help strengthen their cases? We can help.
How Can Video Footage Help Support My Personal Injury Claim in Texas?
Different types of video footage can help build your personal injury case by corroborating your account of the incident.
This includes:
- Traffic cameras.
- Gas station cameras.
- Business or home video surveillance cameras.
- ATM cameras.
- Doorbell cameras.
- Vehicle recording devices.
- Cellphone footage purposefully or inadvertently captured by witnesses.
If your personal injury accident was recorded, our skilled Houston personal injury lawyers will seek the best legal avenue to request the footage to help support your claim.
The footage can then be used to:
- Show who was at fault for the accident or injury. For example, if a slip-and-fall accident occurred on a poorly maintained property, surveillance footage showing the hazardous condition could help establish liability on the property owner’s part.
- Capture the incident’s immediate aftermath, including your physical condition, limitations in movement, or any visible signs of injury.
- Reconstruct the timeline of events leading up to the injury, crucial in cases where the sequence of events is disputed or unclear.
- Record the presence of witnesses to the incident. These witnesses can be interviewed to provide further testimony supporting your claim.
Surveillance footage can significantly strengthen personal injury claims by providing objective evidence of what occurred before, during, and after the incident to help establish liability and the extent of damages suffered.
