When Does Video Evidence in Come Into Play in a Personal Injury Case in Las Vegas, Nevada?




Although this is not England, with “CC TV” everywhere scanning and recording what happens on the streets, you would be surprised how often an accident is captured on video here in Las Vegas, Nevada.  If you are involved in an accident in Las Vegas, then one of the first questions your personal injury lawyer will ask in investigating the accident, is whether there is video evidence to document your case.

SLIP AND FALLS AT LAS VEGAS CASINOS

Since this is a tourist town, a lot of injuries happen at one of the Las Vegas casinos. Due to all the money laying around on the casino floor, there are video cameras in all of the Las Vegas casinos. What some people may not know, is that there are video cameras not just on the casino floor. Areas such as the walkways, elevators and entrances all have video cameras as well. The only place you can be guaranteed that there are not video cameras, are the hotel rooms themselves and the public restrooms. However, there will be video cameras to the doors of the rooms and restrooms.


As you can now imagine, if there is an accident at a Las Vegas hotel and casino, it is probably going to be caught on video. What is important to note is that the casinos are NOT required to turn over the video evidence until a lawsuit is filed and the exchange of documents and evidence is underway. If you are involved in a slip and fall at a local casino, then your experienced Las Vegas personal injury attorney will make sure to immediately put the casino on notice to preserve all video evidence, should a lawsuit be necessary.
 
BUS ACCIDENTS

Another instance where video evidence comes into play, is in Las Vegas bus accidents. If you were riding our public transportation bus system when an accident took place, there are video cameras on the buses to document any accidents and injuries. Video evidence in bus accident matters is important to prove that you were actually on the bus when the accident happened and to document the accident itself. 
 
CAR ACCIDENTS
 
What you may not realize, is that if you are involved in car accident, there may actually be video evidence of the accident. The most common way to have video of the accident, is with a “dash cam” mounted on a vehicle. Cab companies and big rig truck operators oftentimes install these dash cams on their vehicles. If you were in a rear-end collision with a vehicle that had a dash cam installed, the events leading up to the collision and the accident itself will be captured on film.

Next time we will discuss a question that comes up frequently, how do you serve a lawsuit on someone when they live in a gated community.

Marijuana Use And Florida Drivers

The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence [1]   confirms that marijuana use leads to impaired drivers: “Since marijuana is the second most commonly used drug associated with drinking and drugged driving after alcohol, it is important to understand why it is particularly dangerous.   THC, the high producing element in marijuana, affects areas of the brain that control body movements, balance, coordination, memory, and judgment.  Evidence from both real and simulated driving studies indicate that marijuana negatively affects a driver’s attentiveness, perception of time and speed, and ability to draw on information obtained from past experiences. Research also shows that impairment increases significantly when marijuana use is combined with alcohol. Studies have found that many drivers test positive for alcohol and THC, making it clear that drinking and drugged driving are often linked behaviors.” All 50 states and the District of Columbia have laws ...
