Crash, bang, wallop, what a picture . . .
Next time you prang your car, do not be surprised if the driver or cyclist you have unfortunately hit takes out an iPhone and starts taking pictures of the scene.
It appears ambulance chasing has gone digital after Bott & Company, a law firm in Manchester that specialises in personal injury claims, has developed an application for the iPhone that prompts people involved in an accident to record insurance and witness details, take multiple photographs, store GPS information and click through to a dedicated hotline to lodge a claim.
The solicitors believe it is the first time such an application has been launched. It is a free download and walks the user through what they should do if they are involved in an accident.
“It may not be the first thing you think of in an accident but everyone has got a camera on their phone,” said Paul Hinchcliffe, practice manager at Bott & Company, who said someone has already had a claim made via the application.
