Attorney David Daggett Appears on WFMY News to Discuss the Use of Data Recorders in Automobiles

As Personal Injury attorneys, one of our most important responsibilities when investigating an accident is trying to collect as much relevant information as possible. Small details can go a long way towards proving liability and getting to the bottom of what really happened. Now, many auto manufacturers are adding a tool to their cars that […]

Event Data Recorders, also known as “Black Boxes,” are small, barely noticeable devices that are able to track a great deal of information. The real-time crash data collected from these devices can help manufacturers create safer vehicles. Unbeknownst to most people, 95% of new cars come equipped with Event Data Recorder (EDR) technology. Even cars built as far back as 2002 may be equipped with EDRs.

Police say they use the technology as much as possible when investigating wrecks to try and determine who is at fault in causing an accident. This information can also be extremely helpful to attorneys, especially in accident cases where no outside witnesses were present.

Event Data Recorders can track important factors such as:

Driver Height & Weight
Whether or Not the Seatbelt was Fastened
Vehicle Speed
Whether or Not Warning Lights Were on in the Vehicle
Whether or Not the Brakes Were Used
Outside Weather Conditions

Recently, WFMY CBS 2 News turned to attorney David Daggett to provide his perspective on these devices and the important insights they can provide to investigators. Watch the entire video below, including in-depth analysis from Daggett Shuler’s own David Daggett:

Thank You for Everything

I would like to take time to thank the staff at Daggett Shuler Attorneys at Law. To Megan Youngblood for helping me get my disability started; thank you so much for everything!

Outstanding

My experience with Daggett Shuler was amazing. James Cohn was the attorney I worked with for my workers’ compensation claim. He is an awesome attorney. I was injured while on the job performing my duties with a local company, and the next Monday was fired because they did not want to pay my medical bills. After going to Daggett Shuler they looked after me throughout the process. The Daggett Shuler team was outstanding in their professionalism and empathy.

Daggett Shuler Will Have Your Back

I was expecting it to take years to get disability and Daggett Shuler went above and beyond to get it as quickly as possible. They got the disability awarded in 6 maybe 8 months tops. I would recommend Daggett Shuler to anyone filing a disability claim. These guys will have your back for sure!

Couldn't Be More Pleased

A wonderful law firm who personally takes care of your issues. Workers’ Comp can be a nightmare in so many ways so it is good to have an exceptional attorney with that experience guiding you through the process. Griff Shuler was my attorney and I couldn’t be more pleased with the way he handled my case.
