9:16 Publicado por Mario Galarza

An interesting new program was introduced by Allstate Insurance, which includes the installation of a device on vehicles, which should include data on the driving practices of the policyholder, in an attempt, the reduction of accidents by policyholders. While participation in the program is voluntary, to policyholders participating discounts based on the results of recorded data and can not be punished. The device monitors and record data for car accident relevant as distance sudden braking and speed,.

Policyholders, the less miles to go and engage us in secure discounts driving practices could be on their premiums. The program is currently only in a single State but it tested are plans to expand the programme at national level. There is also speculation that the program is probably introduced by other insurance companies. The hope is that the programme results in safer driving practices and a reduction in the serious car accidents.

Montlick and Associates, attorneys at law, we already have the victims of car accidents, which are seriously injured and families of drivers, wrongful death, for more than a quarter, suffer a century.  We are working hard for our customers get them compensation that they deserve, and cases in Atlanta and the entire state of Georgia.

This device appears frequently in tractor similar to onboard black boxes, the data allow trucking companies of practices and analyze potential problems or issues used. The onboard recorders in trucks can prove extremely valuable in a truck accident case.  Connection with Allstate, with them in cars is unclear at this stage whether this type of device will actually have behavior on the trip. There are also questions how the data may be used. If insurance companies begin to use these devices, or if they are otherwise installed on vehicles, this may provide a variety of information available that would be relevant in the case of a car accident. It will be interesting to see how this data to handle of a car accident, in particular because an insurance company installed the devices. You have questions whether auto insurance companies will try to protect practice driving harmful data on their insured representing auto accident victims from discovery by lawyers.

It's easy to the recorded data is present, which indicates that a driver was accelerated immediately before an accident or following so closely that suddenly the driver on the brakes popped in an attempt to avoid a collision. This harmful data a car available would put information that usually not would want an assurance undertaking the lawyer of the victims. In commercial truck accidents, this problem already exists, and Georgia truck accident lawyers must send spoliation letters to advise truck companies need to be persisted to the data due to the pending litigation. If this data recorder common, may be Georgia car accident lawyers send similar letters to insurance carriers car.
