Thanks, we cam back here to the ER tonight because of the obvious swelling and pain, but we’re worried there’s internal bleeding happening. Fingers crossed it’s nothingBTW. I hope the fiancé is alright

Just thinking a bit but I wouldn't do anything with the card for the time being. If it's needed for any legal action you don't want to do anything that would alter what's recorded. If that should happen nothing on the card would be admissible as evidence.Is it possible do you think if I put the sd card back into the dash cam and power it up the unit might repair the file and allow me to view it there?
Lol, I know what you mean. Back then it was a different world it seemed. Today’s thugs/kids will walk up and gladly punch or kill you for your phone like it’s a game.The one i caught last year was fortunate, the guy in the orange shorts you see get out of the car, thats just a passenger, the driver also got out and stood beside my car for a while before he left the scene on foot.
When i gave the police the footage a hour later or so on the station + footage from my L side camera, they very well knew the guy, so could go and pick him up at once for testing, and of course he was also high on cannabis ( it was a guy from way down south of the Mediterranean sea that at least if he follow the popular religion do not drink alcohol )
As a former criminal myself, it now give me immense pleasure when the right ones get nailed CUZ criminals today have no class, at least we had a shred of it when i was that kind of person.
So the first thing I did was throw all of the files from the sd card on the cpu for backup. I also uploaded the smaller 5 second clip, that I took with my phone, right before impact to my insurance company. Right now I’ve just been working with the copies on the cpu.Just thinking a bit but I wouldn't do anything with the card for the time being.

Some things are better off not seen, I suspect this might be one of them!So at least as far as evidence we’re good. I was just hoping to actually catch the impact and short aftermath.
Just to clarify... I had VLC up and playing the indexed video on my monitor while I recorded the important part on my phone.So the first thing I did was throw all of the files from the sd card on the cpu for backup.

So this was a pest control truck, Chevy Colorado, making a service call heading towards my fiancée on a pretty straight portion of road. About 20-25ft away from her he begins a very lazy left hand turn into the driveway. She swerved right to avoid him , but couldn’t go far right because there were telephone poles there. Also our 17 month old boy was in the backseat. He just had minor scratches on his leg, but that’s about it.Some things are better off not seen, I suspect this might be one of them!
Were they just turning into their drive? Or had they lost control?
Doesn't look like a situation where there should have been serious speed or injuries.
If there is any possibility that you might want to resort to profesional recovery then it is best to keep the card safe, not let anything write to it, but if you already have enough evidence then yes, some cameras will repair files. Don't think there is much hope though, sounds like the data never made it to the card.
There are good reasons the cheap cameras are not recommended, frequent lost footage of the actual accident is one of them.

Yeah, insurance companies (especially yours) are generally willing to work with copies. However, if the matter should go to court then the original (unaltered) recordings would have to be available...I also uploaded the smaller 5 second clip, that I took with my phone, right before impact to my insurance company.

Still looks like he tagged you pretty good though.Thats a lot worse then my little red car was.
Oh yeah until this accident gets settled, it’s going under lock and key. I just felt like if there was something else on the video that I could use as evidence it would make the case that much stronger. Even though on its face it’s already a strong case.Yeah, insurance companies (especially yours) are generally willing to work with copies.

You definitely don't want to hit a telephone pole, they are worse than solid concrete!couldn’t go far right because there were telephone poles there.
Failed to use the crumple zones, the car was not designed for that, carry on being cautious about any injury symptoms, could be something unusual since it is not a usual impact and would have had some nasty twisting forces with all the deceleration on one side.My fiancée was in my Hyundai Elantra.
As of right now the owner of the pest control company hasn’t returned phone calls to my insurance company. But in today’s age I wouldn’t be surprised if they try to play it like it wasn’t his fault.Bloody hell, wasn’t expecting that amount of damage to your car, so the guy turned in front of her, is he now trying to wriggle out of it?
