As a Fort Worth personal injury lawyer, I know that it is crucial to have evidence to show that the other driver’s negligence was the cause of your car wreck. This is particularly true when it comes to accidents involving 18-wheeler trucks as the bodily injuries and property damage sustained are typically extremely devastating. Fortunately, most commercial trucks are equipped with electronic control modules which records various information which helps crash scene investigators determine fault. In a recent case I handled, for example, the “black box” showed that the trucker was driving 45 mph right up until the impact. They didn’t even attempt to brake.
Now, similar technology is coming to your car. Starting next year, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will require that all new vehicles be equipped with event data recorders. How will this affect your ability to make a claim if you are injured in a wreck? Will it cause your insurance premiums to go up? Who has access to this information?
You can read all about it in the latest issue of the Anderson Law Firm’s Law Talk newsletter. Also in this issue you can learn about some of the different personal injury cases our attorneys are currently working on, as well as a new free guide to help you make a successful property damage claim without the aid of a lawyer. There’s also some information on our upcoming March Madness bracket contest; we’ve giving away Dallas Mavs tickets!
