Security Camera Installation Vs Nuisance Lawsuits, Who Wins?
February 24th, 2010 | by admin |Nuisance lawsuits result from people claiming to be injured when they were not injured in actuality. The person who files the nuisance lawsuit may not realize it but the nuisance lawsuit costs both the business it is filed against and the insurance company of that business both time and money. Many people feel that insurance companies have a lot of money and that a single lawsuit isn’t going to hurt them. In actuality many courts are clogged with nuisance lawsuits. A security camera installation that covers all of the areas of a business provides the best means of defeating the nuisance lawsuit.
Many nuisance lawsuits wind up being “he said, she said” with no actual proof of what happened on either side. The plaintiff may state that they fell and hurt their back at the business and the slip and fall were avoidable. They feel that the business should take responsibility for the accident, even if the accident is a falsehood. Without a recording of the area where the purported slip and fall occurred, the likelihood of the business getting the suit dismissed is slim.
Factories have safety rules and despite the safety rules, accidents do happen. Accidents are more likely to happen when safety rules are ignored and broken. Many times, when a worker claims to be injured in a factory setting there could be no witnesses to the injury. Once again, the burden of proof that the worker violated a safety rule falls upon the company. A security camera installation that covers the factory floor can provide the images necessary to show that the worker broke safety rules thus making the frivolous lawsuit invalid.
Insurance companies will often settle frivolous lawsuits out of court. They will provide a monetary settlement to the party that claims to be injured if there is no proof that the injury did not happen where they claimed it did. The cost of settling the lawsuit out of court will be apportioned to all of the businesses that utilize that insurance company in the coming years. This cost will be realized in higher premiums for insurance. A security camera installation will often cost less than the aggregate sum of the increased insurance premiums.
The “security” in security cameras means more than simple protection of property. The “security” in security cameras means that the owner of the business has the peace of mind in knowing that his property and the actions in and around his property are being observed. This observation along with the recording of the images provides valid proof that a lawsuit is both frivolous and a nuisance. The presentation of the data to the plaintiff’s lawyer will end the nuisance lawsuit and potentially save the company far more than the cost of the security camera installation.
