There’s no doubt that global information technology market is one of the most valuable sectors in the world, worth approximately $5.3 trillion at the beginning of 2022.
Interestingly, Asia remains the largest single contributing region to the marketplace, accounting for 31% of this value and playing a seminal role in new developments and innovations.
As the value of this market has increased, technology has also evolved to play an increasingly pivotal role in our daily lives. This includes aiding personal injury cases, but what precise role dies technology play in this respect?
Gathering Evidence for Personal Injury Claims
Across both the UK and the US, car accidents remain the single biggest trigger for personal injury claims.
Because of this, dash cam technology is widely used to garner evidence about specific instances, potentially demonstrating fault and corroborating the evidence given by claimants. Remember, dash cams are forward-facing and designed to capture evidence of collisions in real-time, and they play a key role in settling personal injury claims.
GPS systems and mobile phones also provide similar evidence, with the former capable of confirming your location and proving that you were driving within the speed limit at the time of the incident.
Mobile phones can also be used to capture evidence of trips and falls in the workplace, while wearable tech such as smartwatches is now also being used to collate proof of injury and the health data captured prior to an incident.
The Most Commonly Used Medical Tech
From a medical perspective, wearable tech items and mobile phones also play a key role in collating information about your injuries and the impact of a particular accident.
Take electronic medical reports, for example, which are now increasingly used as an alternative to paper records and create accurate, digital records that are largely immutable.
What’s more, this information is instantly accessible and presented consistently to different healthcare providers, allowing for more informed decision making and the superior delivery of treatment.
Advanced diagnostic equipment is also highly influential in the modern age, especially in terms of confirming the injuries reported by the claimant and drawing a direct link between incidents and their physical impact.
Going Forward – How is Tech Helping to Progress Cases?
Overall, technology and innovation are also playing a pivotal role in processing claims quicker and more effectively.
This is largely thanks to the deployment of artificial intelligence (AI), which helps to ease the administrative burden on solicitors and finalise out of court settlements in a matter of moments.
AI is definitely increasing the likelihood of cost-effective and timely out of court settlements, which can ease the stress of claimants and create an amicable outcome for all parties involved.
As we’ve already touched on, tech is also making it easier to demonstrate claims and create viable evidence, ensuring that justice is served more consistently over time.
