Unfortunately there are a growing number of cases where innocent drivers are being wrongly accused of fault in road traffic accidents. Victims of these events often end up losing vast amounts of money and in some cases they may lose their vehicle (if they are only third-party protected). The problem for many drivers is that they have very little means of challenging any fault claims and proving that they have been wrongly accused.
Until now there have not been many effective ways of preventing bogus insurance claims. The major problem is that a witness is needed at the scene otherwise it is very difficult to prove non-fault in an accident. Many road traffic accidents where there are no witnesses present will rely on 'hearsay' evidence. This type of evidence is very limited and will often result in long drawn out cases where both parties argue their innocence.
However, with the aid of modern technology drivers are now able to continuously monitor the road with a car camera system. These systems are becoming more widely utilised as an effective means of adding to vehicle security. In the case of an accident these devices prove to be very effective and help to prevent drivers from being wrongly accused of fault.
