Los Angeles, CA personal injury attorney Narbeh Shirvanian talks about how dash cams work in California car accident claims. He points out that with the advancement of technology, dash cams have become an invaluable resource in personal injury cases. Clients often ask how dash cam footage can influence their case. In his experience, dash cam recordings are among the strongest forms of evidence, often surpassing eyewitness testimony. He consistently advises clients to install dash cams in their vehicles, ideally one facing forward and another facing backward.
Dash cam footage captures critical details such as the scene, weather conditions, and the force of impact. For example, in rear-end collisions where visible damage may seem minor, dash cam recordings can reveal significant vehicle movement, helping demonstrate the true force of the impact. This information proves essential when presented to biomechanical engineers, accident reconstruction experts, or mechanical specialists, who can analyze the footage to provide professional opinions on the impact and its effects on the body.
Such footage becomes a powerful tool in settlement negotiations and courtroom presentations. Without clear evidence of the accident’s force, a jury may struggle to fully understand the severity of the incident. Conversely, cases supported by dash cam footage and expert analysis gain credibility and persuasiveness, often contributing to substantial settlements for clients.
