The first thing an accident victim wants is to prove wrongdoing so they can claim their rights. Whether you get in an accident at work, in a car, or at a store, a proof will determine how much you should be compensated.
In many cases, there are either no witnesses or they may not be able to recollect exactly what happened. Luckily, we live in an age where technology is all around us and can be taken advantage of to help prove our rights in an accident.
Everyone has a cell phone these days, and they have proven their advantages over the years. A cell phone can do more than allow you to call for help after an accident, it can also come in handy in a personal injury case. You can take photos or videos of the accident as proof of the damages done to you or your vehicle. You can also use it to get witnesses’ contact information and to call the cops to file a police report.
The angle of damage and the marks on the tires can play a huge part in proving who is at fault in a car accident. However, there can always be arguments and you never know what the defendant’s lawyer is up to. However, a vehicle’s dashcam can prove exactly what happened, and no one will be able to disprove real video footage. For this reason, more and more drivers are now installing dashcams in their cars to prove their rights in case of a traffic accident.
Motorbike riders are probably more at risk of getting in an accident than any other driver on the road. This is mainly because their bodies aren’t usually protected, and motorbikes have weaker braking systems and aren’t easily controlled as cars. If you are a motorcycle rider then you need to know that special devices can even help prove fault if you’re in an accident so you can claim your rights. One of these special devices is a mounted motorcycle camera that can help determine who is at fault by providing video evidence of what exactly happened. If you have this device, you won’t need to rely on witnesses or face false accusations. Just give the footage to your lawyer, and they will file a claim to get you compensated.
The defendant may argue that you are exaggerating your injuries, especially if you post a picture of yourself on social media or are seen in public looking fine. However, they can deny your injuries all they want but medical diagnostic equipment can help prove your rights. Equipment like x-rays or sac imagery can prove how serious your injuries are which will play a huge role in your compensation claim.
This is particularly important in the case of class action lawsuits where multiple people are seeking compensation for the same issue. For instance, if a group of people are injured by a faulty product, medical equipment can definitively show the extent of the injuries and help a class action attorney build a solid case for compensation. Just make sure to get checked out by a doctor immediately after an accident, even if you don’t feel like anything is wrong.
Accidents happen, and in most cases, the responsible party will deny any wrongdoing or try to minimize the damages or your injuries so they can pay you less. However, tech tools can paint perfect picture that no one can argue with. The settlement process after a car injury doesn’t have to be difficult. It is important to note that you need an experienced personal injury lawyer by your side to fight for you and get you fair compensation.
