Why You Should Own a Dashcam

The Attkisson Law Firm

You’re rolling through the grocery store parking lot when a pedestrian steps in front of your car. You brake, but she slams the hood of your vehicle with both hands and falls over. Police are called and a witness says that you drove right into her. But you’re not worried because you have a dashcam and you can show exactly what happened.

This is just one situation. The truth is, there are many reasons why you should own a dashcam.

Benefits of a Dashcam

A dashcam is a small camera that records everything happening in front of your vehicle. With GPS-enabled capabilities, it can also pinpoint your location and show how fast you were traveling. Moreover, they are cheap. At less than $50, if a dashcam helps you through one accident or traffic ticket, it will be well worth it.

Showing Your Side

A dashcam can take a lot of the guesswork out of a car accident case. Say you’re t-boned at an intersection. The other driver claims you ran a red light and they had the right of way. If you didn’t have a dashcam showing you had a green light, there might be no way to prove your side of the case.

When one other driver is involved, it becomes a he said/she said and your attorneys may be able to discard such claims. However, when multiple claims of fault are involved, like a witness statement in a police report that does not correctly relate the facts as you perceived them (as in the example above), a dashcam could be the deciding factor that ensures fault is correctly distributed.

Aside from crashes and accidents, dashcams can also save you from traffic tickets. If police issue you a speeding ticket, your GPS-enabled dashcam will be invaluable in demonstrating the speed you were actually traveling, which can potentially save you from adding points to your driver’s license.

Don’t wait until a crash happens to get stressed out and wish you had a dashcam. If you feel they’re valuable, get one as soon as possible. It just might save you a lot of headache later on.
