Supplying Dash Cam Footage to 3rd Party

[gallopingclothespeg]

I was hit by another vehicle last week, all caught on dash cam etc.
I contacted the third party vehicle owner, a business, first but got no reply. I then informed my insurance company so they can sort it.

I’ve since spoken to the 3rd party and they’ve asked for a copy of the dash cam footage of the accident. Should I send it to them or just leave it all for the insurance to sort out?

If your insurance is handling it then point the 3rd party to them and let them sort it all out. That's what you pay them for, after all.

That’s my thinking as well, I just wasn’t sure if it would affect the claim at all if I sent the clip to the 3rd party.
I’m sure he’ll see it soon enough when the insurance pass it on to him.

I wouldnt pass it to the 3rd party in case there's anything which might prejudice your claim. Let your insurers decide.

This.

It's in your insurance companies hands at this point, and they are aware of it (as they would've been ultimately anyway). There's no sense in providing footage to the third party. It sounds like they're playing silly buggers and want to pick holes in it anyway, so... sucks to be them!

Great, thanks for the pointers.
I'll leave it for the insurance to sort out.
