Cameras Are Everywhere! Someone Is Always Watching You Ever since people started owning smartphones, we’ve grown comfortable with the idea of cameras being everywhere. Anyone can pull out their phone at any time, take a video or picture, and post it online for the world to see in a matter of seconds. It’s not just phones, either; cameras are everywhere. The good news is that these cameras are often helping us assist our clients in their personal injury cases. Whenever you leave your home, it’s best to assume that a camera is recording you somewhere. While this idea might send shivers down your spine, these cameras could help you if you become the victim in a personal injury matter. Let me give you a few examples of where cameras are and how our firm has proactively used footage to help our clients. Around the city of Boston, you will find cameras at almost every intersection. Our firm has requested and obtained footage from these cameras to build our clients’ cases in many instances. Sometimes it helps, and other times, it doesn’t. We can analyze footage to determine the at-fault party and strengthen any claim. Many private businesses also have cameras observing their parking lots or the exterior of their buildings. We can also obtain these to help support a claim. We have built many cases from private business footage showing horrific pedestrian accidents. Not only are cameras on the streets and outdoors, but many people have also started utilizing dash cameras inside their vehicles. We recently helped a client who got into an accident after proceeding into an intersection when her light was green. The other party claimed their light was green, too. Thankfully, there was a work truck with a dash cam behind our client that confirmed her story. There are even cameras outside of most residential homes these days since Ring doorbells are all the rage right now. We recently assisted a dog bite client, where a Ring doorbell fully captured the incident. We do everything we can to help clients, including proactively obtaining camera footage that could support their case. If you think something is wrong in the police report, let us know, and we’ll take the extra steps to secure any camera footage that could help!
