Having an auto accident can be a stressful time for everyone. At the time of an incident, drivers are typically focused on the safety of those involved and getting vehicles moved out of traffic. Gathering important information can be overlooked. When the time comes to turn the claim in and talk with an adjuster, recalling what occurred may be difficult and details can get missed.
Obtaining any available video footage can be very helpful for both the insured and insurance company during the claims resolution process!
Tesla equips their vehicles with four cameras. After an accident, customers should secure that video footage before it may get overwritten. With this technology being commonplace in today’s vehicles, many other manufacturers also have cameras that record, and insureds may have dash cams, etc.
Hoping for safety for you and yours on the road, but in case of an accident, your car's video footage is hugely helpful, keep it in mind!
