INVESTIGATION

Discovery of Video Surveillance

Obviously, it is important to have as many details as possible concerning

the accident. While eyewitness accounts are helpful, as we all know

people can view the same event in many different ways. Video of the

accident can clear this up.

Dash Cam Footage

With the growing popularity of dashboard cameras, you may find dashcam

footage of the accident. If a police car is involved in the accident, you may

wish to obtain a copy of the dash cam video footage. Often, the police

officer’s dash camera has video and audio recordings of events that

occurred both in front of the squad car, as well as within the vehicle itself.

Note: police dash cameras are not always recording. Most police dash

cameras will only save a recording if lights or sirens are activated..

Police dash cam footage is often a public record, so accident victims have

a right to submit a Freedom of Information Act request in order to obtain

the footage from the police department. Notify the police department

immediately if you wish for the footage to be preserved. The request

should be submitted in writing.

Local Businesses

More and more often, the accident is caught on video by a local business’

surveillance camera. Many businesses now have surveillance cameras in

their parking lots, and outside their businesses. Don’t wait too long, as the

video is often erased over after a few days or 1 week.

Highway Traffic Cameras

One can to use the freedom of information act to obtain the footage from

highway traffic cameras. The process can be difficult, as these cameras

can be owned by the state, private companies, or even news outlets.

Red Light Cameras

If a driver may have run a red light, a red light camera may provide video

evidence. Keep in mind that red light camera footage is usually not kept

for long.

Discovery of Accident/Police Reports

First, send for all police reports, ambulance reports and lifeflight records

Send for 911 records to locate additional witnesses, or admissions by

drivers, or even the sounds of the accident scene

Check for supplemental records that are made

Get police photos and videos from the scene

Find out where the vehicles were taken and any parts of vehicles

Go to the courthouse and get the records for any citations;

Get the complaint

Get the court Order

Get the transcript of any plea or plea deal

See if there are additional witnesses that are not listed on original

report

Show up at the sentencing if needed

Accident Scene Evidence Preservation Tips; Preservation Letter

Auto Parts; lose them at your peril

Keeping vehicles: do you need to keep the car;
