Comprehensive Security Camera Installation Prevents Successful Lawsuits

One of the biggest fears of any company or business is the nuisance lawsuit. Someone who hopes to collect from the insurance company of the company or business files the nuisance lawsuit. The people filing nuisance lawsuits feel that the company or business won’t have any loss since they have insurance. This statement is wrong since it takes time to defend against a nuisance lawsuit. The best defense against a nuisance lawsuit is a comprehensive security camera installation at the place of business.

If a plaintiff states that they fell in a place of business and injured themselves, it is often difficult to prove them wrong if there are no witnesses. Without a witness to state that the plaintiff did not fall, defense against the nuisance lawsuit is difficult if not impossible. The only recourse is for the insurance company to pay the lawsuit or make a settlement payment. A security camera installation in the business can cover the whole business area and provide a recording for the insurance company.

In a factory setting, an employee may be injured on the job. The injury could be the result of neglecting to follow established safety instructions. There is the possibility that no co workers saw the injury happen and can not assist in the defense against the frivolous lawsuit. Through the use of a security camera installation, the company can utilize the footage obtained from a camera observing that area and defend against the lawsuit.

Generally, the cost of frivolous lawsuits falls upon the insurance company. The insurance company does not have unlimited funds to pay out in lawsuits. The funds must come from the companies that purchase insurance. The companies see the cost of nuisance lawsuits when the insurance company boosts premiums for coverage the next year. A security camera installation can show that the nuisance lawsuit is invalid and can save both the insurance company and the business money in the long run.

Businesses purchase insurance as a measure of security. This measure of security insures them that they will not have to pay outrageous sums as a result of a nuisance lawsuit. The security camera installation also provides a layer of security to the company. The security camera installation can prove that the plaintiff was lying about the injury and the nuisance lawsuit will be dropped at little cost to both business and insurance company. In many cases, the security camera installation will mean a lower insurance premium for the business. Additionally the successful defense against the nuisance lawsuit will also result in lower premiums.

A CCTV Installation Helps Reduce Lawsuits

In an imperfect world, nuisance lawsuits are a fact of life. Some nuisance lawsuits have been won on the fact that “Caution Coffee May Be Hot” was not printed on the takeout coffee cup. Everyone knows that coffee should be hot but since it was not printed on the cup the lawsuit was won. Businesses are subject to nuisance lawsuits every day. One method of reducing the number of successful nuisance lawsuits is to have a CCTV installation at each store.

CCTV installations help the store defend against nuisance lawsuits by recording the premises of the store in a continual manner. This surveillance and recording of the actions in and around the store is vital in defending against nuisance lawsuits.

When images from the cameras located in and around the store are recorded the time and date that the image was recorded is inserted onto the video. This image when combined with an accurate time and date provides incontrovertible evidence that a person who has initiated a nuisance lawsuit was either not there or not injured at the store.

Some nuisance lawsuits are filed against a store due to the purported negligence, inattention or rudeness of a clerk. The CCTV installation can show how the clerk approached and dealt with the customer. Often the video footage when presented to the plaintiff’s attorney will result in the matter being dropped. The video evidence can not be denied or invalidated.

Judgments in nuisance lawsuits can amount to hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars. A CCTV installation in a store costs a fraction of that amount. The CCTV installation, if it denies even one nuisance lawsuit has paid for itself multiple times over. This CCTV installation will provide invaluable assistance to any business.

CCTV Services, An Asset That Business Can Not Do Without

It is often heard from business owners that “I’m just a small business, what do I need CCTV services for? I can’t afford it. The truth of the matter is that even small businesses can’t afford to not have CCTV services. CCTV services aren’t just a deterrent to petty theft; CCTV services can provide a return on investment in many other ways.

Even the most unsophisticated of customers can recognize areas of a store that have CCTV coverage. The black dome in the ceiling can have a camera inside of it that is monitoring a set of shelves or merchandise cases. The simple fact that the black dome is there is an indication that a CCTV camera may or may not be inside. If there is a camera inside, “big brother” is watching. The mere existence of the dome serves as a deterrent to shrinkage.

How many businesses actually know what their busiest days and hours are on the store floor? Through the use of CCTV services the customer traffic flow can be monitored and charted. Through the use of this monitoring and charting, staffing in the store can be optimized to provide the most staff at the busiest times. This leads to greater customer satisfaction and repeat customers.

When owners and management are on the sales floor or in the stock areas, employees are always “on their best behavior” knowing that the boss is out and watching what is going on. When the owner or management return to the office, they have no idea of what the employees actually are engaged in. Just as CCTV services monitor customers, the same system can monitor the actions of employees when management is out of sight. Through the use of a CCTV system, owners and managers can monitor the employees at any time without the employee being aware of the monitoring. This assists in identifying productive employees and non-productive employees.

Courts of law are often bogged down with nuisance lawsuits. These nuisance lawsuits can prove to be difficult for the owner of a business to deny. Through the utilization of a well designed CCTV system, the business has the opportunity to review the images from the location that the plaintiff stated they received an injury. The use of this data often is the first line of defense for a business against a nuisance lawsuit. This data, which includes both date and time, can be presented to lawyers and in the courts thus negating the nuisance lawsuit.

CCTV services are reasonably priced for the protection that they provide to the small business owner. The CCTV services protect against theft, monitor traffic flow of customers, provide a check on staff and protect against nuisance lawsuits. This adaptable, reliable service provides any business owner a measure of security knowing that someone is watching the store all day, every day.
