For London PCO drivers, accidents aren’t just inconvenient; they can cost you real money if the claim isn’t handled correctly. Even when you’re certain you weren’t at fault, proving it is another story. That’s where dashcam footage becomes one of the most powerful tools you have.
Here’s why every PCO driver should make dashcam footage a priority after any accident, and how it can speed up your non-fault claim with an accident management company.
Many non-fault accidents turn into disputes simply because both drivers tell different stories. Clear dashcam footage eliminates that problem by showing exactly what happened. For PCO drivers, this can be the difference between a smooth, stress-free claim and weeks of delays, arguments, or rejected liability.
If you can hand over clear, timestamped footage right away, your accident management company can present it to the third-party insurer as undeniable evidence, which speeds up the entire process.
When liability is clear early on, your claim moves much faster. Accident management companies can secure a like-for-like PCO replacement vehicle sooner because the at-fault insurer has less ground to dispute responsibility.
Simply put: the stronger your evidence, the quicker you’re back earning money.
Unfortunately, staged accidents and exaggerated claims do happen in London, especially to private hire drivers who are on the road all day. Dashcams protect you against:

Even partial footage can help. Make sure to also take:
Your accident management team can still build a strong case using whatever you provide.
