Anyone ever used video footage to settle accident claims?

[Lala81]

Toying with the idea of buying car video camera in case of accident -> got video footage as evidence

150 bucks

 

However i have heard before that some insurance companies sometimes dun consider such evidence.

Has anyone used it to help assist their claims?

 

My fren just got whacked by prime mover.

His car insurance loaded $1k+ + no NCD for this coming yr. Even if he wins the case, if got refund, they only refund NCD issit? Heard they dun refund the loading.

 

So in summary, shld i get one?

Pple with XP pls comment, thanks!

it is good to have the hard evidence, especially if you have the right of ways, but situation is not favourable to you.

trust me, you won't regret.

 

example :-

 

you wanted to turn right at the t-junction. waiting for the traffic light to turn green.

when it turn green, both left and right side of the vehicles should come to a complete stop as they traffic should be red.

 

you proceed to turn right and was left side ended.

no witness, no lta traffic camera. got traffic police speed camera(not sure if it is inside, anyway, insurance would not get the footage from TP). no injury.

 

you would be liable under BOLA ver 3 dated 1 Jun 08 scenario 9.

 

this is what insurance company interpret to me.

 

hope this helps.
