By using the latest technological advancements, an attorney can quickly access a wealth of information about the factors that contributed to an accident. In turn, the lawyer can use that information to seek full and fair compensation for those who have suffered harm as a result of the crash.\u00a0Drivers can use this technology, too. By gathering evidence after an accident, they can help their lawyer seek the maximum amount in their case.Key Technological Advancements in Car Crash InvestigationsHere are just a few examples of how technological advancements can affect car accident investigations today in Alabama:\u00a0Digital video and photos\u2014Dash cam footage, video from nearby surveillance cameras, and even photos and video that passengers and onlookers capture on their cell phones can capture the moments immediately before and after a crash, providing valuable information.Drones and satellites\u2014In recent years, drones have been used to capture aerial views of crash sites, which can be especially helpful when multiple vehicles are involved. Satellite images and telematics systems can provide solid evidence of road and weather conditions, while GPS systems can help pinpoint an accident’s location and provide other valuable data.Event data recorders\u2014Most cars on Alabama\u2019s streets, roads, and highways contain these devices, which can provide information about what occurred immediately before and during a crash, such as the vehicle\u2019s speed, braking, and direction of travel. This data should be downloaded as soon as possible after an accident.Artificial intelligence\u2014Also referred to as \u201cAI,\u201d artificial intelligence can be used to compile and analyze the abundant data gathered from a car accident.Animation and illustration\u2014An accident reconstruction expert can use the information about a crash that is made available through modern technology to create an illustration or an animation that clearly shows how and why the accident occurred.\u00a0Electronic medical records\u2014An attorney can access these records and use them to evaluate the harm caused by a crash, including the nature and extent of the injuries a victim has suffered and the past and projected costs of medical treatment.Gathering Evidence After a Car Accident\u00a0As a driver or passenger involved in a crash, you can use technology to protect your right to compensation. In particular, you can use your cell phone to take photos of the cars involved in the wreck as well as skid marks, street signs, traffic lights, stop signs, surrounding trees and shrubbery, and the injuries suffered by you and others. These photos can play a critical role in determining liability and explaining the accident’s harmful consequences.How Do These Technological Advancements Help Me?\u00a0Technological advancements can help the claims process move forward more reliably and efficiently than ever by providing access to a wealth of objective, hard data within a relatively short period after a car crash. For this reason, it is essential to seek help from an attorney with a firm grasp of how new technology plays a critical role in crash investigations.Contact Our Alabama Car Accident Lawyers for Assistance\u00a0The experienced car accident attorneys at Stokes Stemle, LLC, understand what you are going through after a car accident.
