Typically, dash cam footage is admissible as evidence in North Carolina car accident cases. However, a few conditions must be satisfied for the recording to be used. First, the video from the dash cam must be authenticated, proving it depicts the events in question. Then, you and your car accident lawyer can review it and determine if its contents will help your case.
In some circumstances, dash cam footage is important evidence, accurately portraying the accident, timeline, and fault. In other cases, it may be less useful. For example, some dash cams have poor recording quality, making it difficult to draw conclusions.
