Many homes and businesses install outdoor security cameras to capture surveillance video and improve safety. When it comes to premises liability cases, these security cameras can provide a unique perspective on how an incident occurred.
Information taken from videos can be helpful in capturing the incident scene immediately before and at the time of the occurrence. For example, a spill on a floor where someone slipped may have occurred in a way that the party charged with keeping a safe walking surface had plenty of time to notice the hazard and clean it up. Alternatively, the video could show that the hazard occurred such a short time before the incident that there was no time to notice and remediate the hazard.
For premises liability cases using surveillance video, a biomechanical engineer can also incorporate gait and fall dynamics gathered from the video to help determine the cause of the incident (whether it was a slip, trip, or misstep, for example).
3D laser scanning technology can be enlightening. A 3D point cloud, obtained using a scanner or a Lidar-equipped device, can assist in the analysis of the walking surface. The rendered point cloud can also be used to create a simulation of the incident.
