Do Cars and Trucks Have Black Boxes?
You may be surprised to learn that the car you’re driving now, and probably the car you’ve been driving for the last 10 years, has a little black box in it that is a computer that records data. And it keeps track of everything from if you’re wearing your seatbelt to how fast your car was going, and other data that are important if you’re in a crash because they give us the information about how the crash occurred. You also may be interested to know that trucks traveling on the interstate, not only in Phoenix and Arizona but across the country, for many, many years – even longer than cars – have had black boxes in them. And that helps to learn information.
For example, not only the information I mentioned earlier concerning speeds and that sort of thing, but also information about how long the truck was on the road. This information can be critical. Which is why it’s important to get to a lawyer as soon as you can, so that that black box and that evidence can be preserved. It can be complicated to do, but we know how to do it at Plattner Verderame and we have done it many times before. If you have an interest in this, visit our website or call us at 602-266-2002.
