On today’s episode, Richard Duquette discusses GPS to the Bicyclists’ Rescue. Spending some amount for a GPS is worth it. Bicyclists never know when they could get into accident. Tune in and learn how a GPS can help you in a case!
Reconstructing a bicycle crash is becoming more scientific. There are ways to counter insurance and company tactics that tend to reduce the value of a claim.
Among which, is the use of a GPS. A gps device can help establish the general point of impact by providing the location and time. It is similar to the black box in airplanes.
The point of impact is often relevant when providing proof. It could mean the difference between winning and losing. It could also mean the difference between defeat and accusation by an insurance company.
The information from a GPS can show the geographical location of the accident. It can also show the direction of travel and ride history.
Richard recently won a case where a gentleman was run over by a Mercedes. They downloaded his GPS information, and saw where he was in relation to the offending vehicle.
It showed how far the gentleman original was before the Mercedes hit him. That strengthened the case against the reckless driver. For that, they received a substantial amount of money.
Again, the GPS can show whether the bicyclist was following the law and can also establish the point of impact. A GPS can be combined with a cycling data. If the jurors find a bicyclist following the rules, it increases his chances for recovery.
To generate illustrations or animations for the crash, computerized survey equipments can be used. Tune in for more insights!
