[[{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question","text":"You must act quickly to obtain copies of video camera footage of a motor vehicle accident. Many businesses and organizations, including state and local traffic agencies, have record retention policies that govern how long the organizations must keep surveillance camera footage before it is deleted. Organizations can only hold onto their surveillance footage for a little while. Otherwise, they would end up with an unmanageable amount of data. While some organizations may keep footage for a week or more, others may delete footage within a few days. However, some agencies will preserve copies of surveillance footage upon request, so you and your attorney should contact those parties as soon as possible to request a copy.","@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/obtain-traffic-camera-footage\/#Answer"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question1","text":"Arizona follows the pure comparative fault rule, which allows car accident victims to pursue compensation from another at-fault party even if they share responsibility for the crash. However, under this rule, a driver who is partly at fault may have their compensation reduced based on their assigned percentage of fault for the wreck.  For example, if a victim could recover $100,000 in a car accident claim but bears 25 percent of the blame for the crash, a judge or jury could reduce their compensation by $25,000 to reflect their share of fault.","@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/obtain-traffic-camera-footage\/#Answer1"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question2","text":"Traffic camera footage can serve as a valuable tool when seeking compensation in a car accident case, especially if you and the other driver(s) dispute who is at fault for the crash. Video footage can show which driver has the more credible account of the accident or prove who or what caused it.  For instance, if you claim that the other driver caused the accident because they ran a red light or failed to signal before turning or changing lanes, traffic camera footage that confirms your account could help you obtain compensation.","@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/obtain-traffic-camera-footage\/#Answer2"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","text":"Under Arizona\u2019s statute of limitations, you usually have only two years from the date of a car accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. A lawsuit filed after the deadline likely will be dismissed by the court regardless of its merits.  In addition to the statute of limitations, you must follow the notice deadline under Arizona's Tort Claims Act if you have a car accident claim against the state or a local government. The law requires you to send notice of your claim to the appropriate agency or officials within 180 days of an accident. Failing to give timely notice may result in the waiver of your claim.  Due to the strict deadlines for filing a car accident claim in Arizona, you should speak with a car accident attorney as soon as possible to ensure you file your case on time.","name":"Answer Question3","@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/obtain-traffic-camera-footage\/#Answer3"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How Long is Video Camera Footage Retained?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/obtain-traffic-camera-footage\/#Answer"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/obtain-traffic-camera-footage\/#Question"},{"@type":"Question","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/obtain-traffic-camera-footage\/#Answer1"},"name":"Is Arizona a Comparative Fault State?","@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/obtain-traffic-camera-footage\/#Question1"},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can Traffic Camera Footage Help with My Car Accident Case?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/obtain-traffic-camera-footage\/#Answer2"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/obtain-traffic-camera-footage\/#Question2"},{"@type":"Question","name":"Is There a Time Limit for Filing a Car Accident Claim in Arizona?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/obtain-traffic-camera-footage\/#Answer3"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/obtain-traffic-camera-footage\/#Question3"}],"name":"Can you obtain traffic footage in Arizona","@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/obtain-traffic-camera-footage\/#FAQPage"}],{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Blog","item":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Can you obtain traffic footage in Arizona","item":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/obtain-traffic-camera-footage\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
