Look Who’s Watching Now: What Every Virginia Accident Victim Should Know

Do you remember the reality show, Candid Camera? It was funny watching people who were unaware that they were being filmed. At the end of the prank these individuals were told – “Smile! You’re on Candid Camera!” While that show brought many laughs, it is not so funny when the insurance company follows you around with a video camera, without your knowledge.

Insurance companies use many tricks to minimize their liability for accident claims. Among these tricks is the notorious video surveillance tactic.

Yes, that’s right. The insurance company might be videotaping you without your knowledge. They are hoping to catch you participating in an activity that would contradict your injuries. Generally, car insurance companies will employ this tactic when there is a serious injury and a lawsuit has been filed.

How can you protect yourself?

The best way to safeguard against this insurance trick is to be completely honest about the level of your activity. You do not want to be caught by surprise when the insurance company uses a video against you. That means you should never exaggerate your injuries or pain. Be upfront with your Virginia car accident lawyer, so that your case is not destroyed by video surveillance.
