When the Unexpected Happens: How Dash Cams Protect Your Rights After a Collision

Accidents can happen in the blink of an eye, often leaving drivers in a challenging position to prove fault or gather necessary information. Such was the case for Eli, a Kia EV6 owner, who experienced a high-impact collision while parked on the roadside in San Diego.


The Incident

The incident unfolded when a Hyundai Santa Fe veered across a striped safety margin and bike lane, rear-ending Eli’s vehicle with considerable force. The collision pushed Eli’s EV6 into a nearby Toyota 4Runner, while the Hyundai’s airbags deployed on impact.

 

Dash Cam Evidence

Despite the chaos, Eli quickly noticed a key detail: the Hyundai bore custom amateur radio operator license plates. Although he couldn’t obtain the driver’s insurance information at the scene—especially as paramedics escorted the other driver away—this unique plate detail enabled him to identify the driver with a brief online search.

The Vital Role of Dash Cams

While Eli’s quick thinking helped him retrieve crucial information, the situation highlights how dash cams serve as an invaluable tool in documenting traffic incidents. Every driver should consider equipping their vehicle with a dash cam.
