Preguntas frecuentesAfter your personal injury accident, you might have some of these questions:
- How do I get video footage from a camera at a traffic stop, like an intersection, after an accident?
- How do I obtain video footage from a camera at a highway or freeway after an accident?
- How do I get surveillance video from a camera at a freeway exit or entrance after an incident?
- How do I get video footage from a camera at a gas station, parking lot, or other business after an accident?
Regardless of the specific type of incident suffered, whether it was a car accident, truck accident, motorcycle accident, pedestrian accident, or bicycle accident, video surveillance capturing the incident might be essential for the success of your claim – and you should obtain the footage.
It has become more and more common to see surveillance cameras all around. There are cameras at major intersections, at traffic signals, on highways, freeway entrances and exits, gas stations, public spaces, and private businesses. These cameras capture a number of incidents on a daily basis. For some of the parties involved in any sort of road incident, these videos can help them with their lawsuits.
Why is the footage captured by surveillance cameras so important to injury claims? The footage is important because of what it captures, which could include the following:
- The hazard or dangerous condition that directly caused the incident (e.g., whether drivers were speeding, whether pedestrians had the right of way to cross, etc.)
- Exactly how the incident happened
- Consecuencias del incidente
In general, video footage can make the difference between a successful and unsuccessful personal injury claim.
How to Obtain Video FootageUnfortunately, obtaining video footage is not simple. If the incident occurred on private property, for instance, like on the premises of a store or other business, the video footage is private, meaning that affected victims have no legal right to it. They can speak to the property owner and request the footage, but the property owner does not have to make it available. When the local authorities are involved, it is more likely that property owners will cooperate and make footage available, although there is still no guarantee. In these cases, the only way to access video footage would be for the footage to be subpoenaed in court.
What if the incident was not captured by a private surveillance camera but rather one of the many traffic cameras all along roads, highways, and traffic signals? The first step is to figure out who owns the camera that captured the incident. These cameras can potentially be owned by the city, county, or state; they can be operated by the Department of Transportation (DOT) or local police.
How can you request the video footage? The first thing that you should do is to contact the local police and the DOT. This will allow you to verify which agency operates the specific camera in question. Then, you should request a freedom of information act (FOIA) request form. Although a form might be available, a written request is also perfectly acceptable; any written requests must describe the records being sought. In general, these requests can be accepted electronically (e-mail, fax, or web form).
How long can you wait before requesting video footage? The time that agencies hold on to videos before destroying them varies significantly, with some agencies only keeping videos for 14 days. Therefore, anyone interested in requesting video footage should act fast to ensure that they actually have a chance at getting the video before it is destroyed.
