How Traffic Cameras Can Support Your Injury Claim

In personal injury cases resulting from auto accidents, clear evidence can make or break your case. One of the most powerful tools available today is traffic camera footage. At Pyramid Legal, we understand how crucial video evidence is in building a strong injury claim, and we work diligently to secure and use it to your advantage.

 

The Role of Traffic Cameras in Personal Injury Cases

 

Traffic cameras are strategically placed at intersections, highways, and busy streets. These devices capture real-time footage of vehicle movements, accidents, and even violations. When an accident occurs, this footage can provide objective, time-stamped proof of how the incident unfolded—clearly showing which party was at fault.

 

How Video Evidence Strengthens Your Case

 

Traffic camera footage serves as an unbiased witness. Unlike statements from drivers or passengers, which can be conflicting or influenced by memory and emotion, video recordings offer factual clarity. This can:

  • Confirm the direction, speed, and actions of the vehicles involved

  • Show traffic light status at the time of the crash

  • Highlight reckless driving, speeding, or distracted driving

  • Support or challenge eyewitness testimonies

At Pyramid Legal, we often use this footage during negotiations or in court to bolster our clients’ claims and counter the opposing party’s narrative.

 

How We Obtain Traffic Camera Footage

 

Securing traffic footage requires fast action. Some government agencies or private companies only retain footage for a few days or weeks. That’s why it’s essential to contact an attorney quickly after your accident.

Our legal team at Pyramid Legal knows how to:

  • Identify relevant traffic or surveillance cameras near the accident

  • File formal requests or subpoenas for footage from local agencies or businesses

  • Analyze and interpret video evidence in line with your medical and police records

 

When Traffic Footage Makes the Difference

 

Many of our successful cases have hinged on a single piece of traffic video. For example, in a multi-vehicle crash where liability was unclear, traffic footage revealed that our client had the right-of-way, leading to a favorable settlement. Without that video, proving fault would have been much more difficult.
