The Role Of Surveillance Videos In Maritime Injury Cases

owners will often hire a private investigator to capture surveillance video of an employee who files a maritime injury claim

. Injury victims who file a claim against a ship owner or maritime company, alleging that the employer is to blame for their injuries, should expect to be followed by a private investigator during the course of a lawsuit. The investigator's goal is to show that the victim is either not injured at all or not as injured as he or she claims to be. These videos can be extremely detrimental to personal injury victims. Here, I will discuss how surveillance videos are used to investigate maritime injury claims.

Surveillance video can be used to prove any or all of the following:

That you are not injured at all.

That you are not as injured as you and your doctor say you are.

That you have performed tasks that conflict with your doctor's restrictions, thereby aggravating your injury.

Your employer will attempt to use surveillance video to show that you are not injured at all or that you are not as injured as you and your doctor say you are. The investigator will attempt to capture video of you performing a task that you have claimed you can no longer perform or a task that your doctor has told you not to perform. Obviously, evidence like this can have devastating effects on your case. It is important that you always assume you are being watched during the course of your lawsuit, and to act in accordance with your doctor's restrictions.

Maritime injury cases are among the most challenging cases to litigate in court. The company's video surveillance of the victim after the accident can be extremely detrimental to the case. If a jury believes the victim has done something to aggravate the injury, they will be less inclined to award full benefits in the case or they may determine that the victim is lying about the injury altogether. To be safe, injury victims need to always be mindful of any restrictions that their doctor has placed on them and to adhere to those restrictions at all times.
