Parking Lot Surveillance Preservation Checklist
From our guide Who Is at Fault in a Parking Lot Accident? Evidence to Save
- Identify the store, garage operator, or property manager responsible for each visible camera.
- Record the collision date, approximate time, parking row, and nearest entrance.
- Provide vehicle colors and descriptions without speculating about fault.
- Ask that footage from before and after the collision be preserved, allowing for camera-clock differences.
- Send a written follow-up and retain a copy with the recipient’s contact details.
- Ask how your insurer or attorney can request access to retained footage.
- Preserve your own original dashcam files separately from any clips you share.
