A new study from Bader Scott Injury Lawyers reveals the growing impact of dashcams in combating auto insurance fraud and determining fault in accidents. The “Dashcams | Exposing Auto Fraud & Proving Fault In Accidents” research shows that these devices provide clear, real-time evidence, helping to reduce fraudulent claims and enhance accident reconstructions.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) reported that dashcam sales increased by 25% over five years. Meanwhile, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that dashcams reduced fraudulent insurance claims by 15%. These reports show dashcam usage directly connects to fewer insurance fraud claims and increased road safety.
Dashcams are crucial in detecting car insurance fraud and establishing fault in accidents. According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), dashcams have identified fraud in 20% of cases. These devices resolve about 20% of investigated accidents by providing clear evidence. Insurers also report a 27% decrease in disputed claims when dashcam footage is available.
A representative from Bader Scott remarked, “Dashcams provide clear and indisputable evidence in motor vehicle accidents, auto insurance fraud, and fault determination. These devices are crucial in reducing fraudulent auto insurance claims. We anticipate that dashcams will significantly impact the insurance claims process and road safety by serving as reliable witnesses.”
Several locations around the country have adopted dashcams with noted effectiveness. These locations include:
- California, where dashcams play a role in resolving 30% of accident disputes
- New York, where dashcams have reduced fraud claims by 25%
- Florida, where 20% of accident investigations involve dashcam footage
- Texas, where dashcams have helped reduce insurance fraud cases by 15%
The study offers comprehensive insights into how dashcams expose auto fraud and establish fault in accidents nationwide. With ongoing advancements in these devices, their adoption is expected to increase, further reducing fraudulent claims and making it easier for motorists to secure compensation for their losses.
