Technology effects the way we live, travel, and work. Systems such as GPS change the way we drive cars and get through unfamiliar areas. Technology can also effect our car insurance and the way we resolve personal injury cases. Consider the following Baltimore story. An auto insurance company named Progressive Insurance, asked customers to opt-in to installing a Black Box tracking device in their cars. The box monitors sudden stop-start patterns and transmits the driving data back to Progressive. Progressive would use the data to help determine a given driver's insurance rates. Conceivably, the Black Box could play a major factor in settling personal injury cases as well. For example, consider this car accident scenario involving a personal injury. Suppose a driver claims to have stopped well in advance of a pedestrian. No witnesses were present. There may have even been a claim of wrongful death. This would be a tough case for any injury lawyer to prove. Well, the Car Black Box could help settle the case. A court could check the box data, and see exactly when and where the driver stopped. The technology could potentially bring strong proof of fault and negligence for personal injury cases. True, there are privacy concerns. Many drivers may shy away from opting into installing the black boxes. But the technology is here, and top personal injury lawyers will pursue it. The Car Black Box, like many other technologies, may find its way into a courtroom in the near future.
