Cameras at Intersections — Not Just for Truckers
When it comes to intersections, there are plenty of things you need to watch out for. One of them is traffic monitoring devices. These cameras are used to monitor traffic and control signals, and are often seen above the red light. These cameras do spy on you, but they don't actually record anything like you might remember from shows. So if someone tries to contest a ticket for an accident at an intersection with one of these camera systems, TAL 1 can't do anything for them. They can't use the camera as evidence since it doesn't record anything.
However, witnesses who saw that both drivers had the green light at the time can serve as evidence in any case. So if you were involved in an accident at an intersection and want to contest the ticket, you should talk to your attorney about your options.
The Benefits of Red Light Cameras
Red light cameras have been installed all over the United States, and for good reason. They're controversial, but they have many benefits that motorists should be aware of. Below, we take a look at how these cameras work and the benefits they bring to motorists.
When a red light camera records an accident, it can't determine who had the green or red light when the collision occurred. To accomplish that, the camera would have to take pictures of both vehicles involved in the accident. Unfortunately, this isn't always possible because red light cameras are placed at intersections and witnesses are often present. Without witnesses who can testify as to who ran which light, it's often difficult for the prosecution to win a case against someone caught running a red light violation.
Another benefit of red light cameras is that they help reduce overall traffic accidents by raising awareness of the dangers associated with running red lights. Many drivers are unaware of this and don't stop at stop signs when they should because they believe they have the right of way. By installing cameras at intersections, motorists will learn firsthand the consequences of running red lights and may behave differently in future collisions, increasing visibility and promoting safer road design.
Red light cameras not only reduce the number of accidents, but can also serve as evidence in insurance disputes between parties involved in an accident. By recording footage of nearby vehicles (if those vehicles are within range). An insurance company may be able to prove that someone else was at fault for an accident and therefore responsible for the damages caused to another party involved in the accident, using their insurance policy information. This information can be very helpful when documenting the accident scene and negotiating a fair settlement with those responsible for the damages incurred in a car accident.
Making a Case Without Court Proceedings
This week I received a question about an incident that was recorded by my camera. The person wanted to know if I had investigated to find out if there were other cameras that might have recorded the incident. As it turns out, there are many places in a city where cameras are installed, and it can be difficult to figure out which camera recorded the incident in question. Unless the video is obtained through a subpoena, which requires a lawsuit, the entity that owns the camera isn't required to provide it.
That's why it's important for people to have video evidence of incidents. Not only do they help exonerate those involved in an altercation, but they can also help prove negligence or wrongdoing by another party, including property damage. Unfortunately, this isn't always possible without taking legal action and seeking legal advice, including filing an insurance claim. That's why many people choose to work with attorneys up front rather than get involved in litigation. Legal proceedings can be costly and time-consuming for both sides. That's why it usually makes more sense for companies to resolve disputes before they get that far.
Protecting Clients and Respecting Opinions — A Lawyer's Tale
Red light cameras are a controversial topic, and many people are upset about them. This is because these cameras can be used to penalize drivers for running red lights, even if the driver wasn't actually speeding. Although it can be difficult, I strive to be compassionate when talking about traumatic events that have resulted in memory loss or confusion about what really happened. After all, many people's lives have been changed by traffic accidents — even if they weren't at the scene. However, it is important to exercise caution when discussing the use of red light cameras, as it is a sensitive topic that may elicit strong opinions from both sides.
In certain cases where video clearly establishes fault, it makes no sense to put further resources into the investigation. As an attorney, I take a soft approach by offering to find another attorney for my clients if they aren't convinced by our findings, to respect their opinions and feelings. This way, both parties can feel like they did something positive — even if the outcome doesn't match their expectations.
Winning the Battle — A Weekend with Accident Attorney
I had a great weekend recently, and one of the highlights was spending time with TAL 1 and his kids. TAL 1 is a lawyer, and we talked about cameras. Turns out Alabama is a “loser pay state” — meaning if you don't win in court, you don't have to pay for all the costs associated with litigation. This can be a gigantic burden for those who have to go to court. That's why it's important to know your rights and what you can do if you find yourself in this situation.
Another interesting topic we discussed was chili. I always enjoy cooking chili for my friends or family on the weekends, but I didn't realize how spicy it could get! Needless to say, I learned a lot about chili during our discussion and I look forward to sharing my recipe soon with readers in The Lawyers for Truckers — my upcoming blog about law and cameras! Simultaneously, soup may be too watery, but chili is hearty and delicious — the perfect meal to enjoy with friends or family on the weekend.
