HOW TO GET VIDEO CAMERA RECORDING OF INTERSECTION ACCIDENT- MINNEAPOLIS CAR ACCIDENT LAWYERS
Our auto accident attorneys represent people in a Minneapolis car accident. In some cases, there is a dispute about which driver was at fault. If the crash occurred at an intersection, the caller will usually ask if we can get the video recording from the intersection camera. Of course, that makes sense.
Unfortunately, not all intersections in Minneapolis have cameras. However, many do – particularly in areas with more people and greater traffic. The video can be very powerful evidence. In fact, it can often end the dispute. Therefore, the intersection camera video is something our Minneapolis auto accident lawyers are always interested in.
DON’T WAIT TO CONTACT POLICE FOR MINNEAPOLIS INTERSECTION VIDEO
Unfortunately, the video recording from an intersection accident in Minneapolis is usually only saved for a short time. Generally, the video is saved for less than 14 days, unless someone requests it. Sometimes, a Minneapolis police officer or the state patrol will request the video recording of the car accident. The police records department will then save the accident video. They will usually automatically save the video if there is a fatality. However, in many cases, the intersection camera video is not saved and the accident victim cannot get it later. Our car accident attorneys have worked on many Minneapolis car crash cases where the client called too late for us to get the video footage.
This is one reason it can be important to call an experienced car accident lawyer soon after the crash. Sometimes, it seems like there should be no dispute over what happened. For example, the other driver admits being at fault. However, the insurance company may later take a different position. Therefore, it is advisable to call the Minneapolis police department and MN DOT soon after a crash to determine if there is a video recording. If there is video of the crash, get a copy or ask them to preserve it. This is something each lawyer in our office does for every Minneapolis auto accident injury case.
