In the fast-paced streets of Miami, traffic collisions are not only common—they’re contested. One of the most powerful tools available to injury victims today is video evidence. Whether it’s a dashcam, GoPro, Ring doorbell, or surveillance footage, video can drastically alter the outcome of a personal injury case.
At Iscoe Law, we’ve seen firsthand how a few seconds of footage can mean the difference between winning and losing a case. In 2025, we make it a priority to leverage every piece of visual evidence to protect our clients’ rights and maximize their compensation.
Why Video Evidence Matters More Than Ever
Insurance companies don’t like to pay unless they’re forced to. And in a personal injury case, they often argue:
- You were partially at fault.
- The other driver wasn’t negligent.
- Your injuries weren’t caused by the accident.
That’s where video evidence becomes your best witness. It doesn’t forget. It doesn’t lie. And it shows exactly what happened.
In one recent Miami case, a dashcam captured a speeding vehicle swerving into our client’s lane—proving fault instantly and leading to a full settlement offer within weeks.
Common Sources of Video in Miami Accident Claims
- Dashcams
Dashcams are becoming standard in both personal and commercial vehicles. In rideshare or delivery-related cases, these cameras often provide real-time footage of the collision. - Bodycams & GoPros
Especially common in motorcycle and bicycle accidents. A GoPro on a helmet or chest strap can show the lead-up to the crash and driver behavior. - Business Surveillance
Many Miami businesses—especially those near busy intersections—have exterior cameras that capture valuable footage. - Smart Doorbells (Ring, Nest, etc.)
Footage from residential properties can capture pedestrian and residential street incidents. - Traffic and Red-Light Cameras
Available through public records or subpoenas, these often show the moments before or after impact.
How Iscoe Law Uses Video to Build Your Case
Our team immediately begins the evidence preservation process, including:
- Requesting footage from public and private sources
- Analyzing frame-by-frame events to prove timing, speed, and positioning
- Collaborating with accident reconstruction experts who use video to strengthen expert testimony
- Delivering compelling visual presentations during negotiations or trial
In Miami, where many intersections have overlapping camera coverage, we often find more video than clients expect—if we act quickly.
Key Legal Advantage: Undisputable Proof
With video:
- Liability becomes clearer.
- Witness credibility improves.
- Insurance delays drop significantly.
- Jury perception can be shaped visually and persuasively.
In one South Florida case, a client was struck in a hit-and-run. At first, there was no proof—until we located nearby traffic cam footage. Within days, we had the license plate and full visual of the impact, leading to a successful uninsured motorist claim.
What You Should Do If You Have Video
- Save and back up the footage immediately.
- Do not edit or cut the clip.
- Send it to your attorney as soon as possible.
- Avoid posting it online. It could be used against you.
If you don’t have video, don’t worry—Iscoe Law will still seek out every possible camera source.
