class=\"kb-meta\">By Attorney Manny Chahal &middot; Updated July 2026 &middot; Reading time: ~8 min<\/p>\n<p class=\"kb-lead\">A modern injury claim runs on digital evidence. Dashcam clips, phone photos of the scene, text messages, medical images, and vehicle data can all decide who was at fault and how badly you were hurt. Artificial intelligence has now reached the point where a convincing photo, video, or document can be generated or altered in minutes. That creates a real worry for injured people: what happens if the other side puts forward evidence that is not genuine, or claims your real evidence is fake? This guide explains how AI-altered evidence can show up in a Michigan crash case, how the courts decide what is authentic, the new rules taking shape around AI evidence, and how to protect the proof that supports your claim.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"kb-h2\">The New Problem: Evidence You Cannot Trust at a Glance<\/h2>\n<p>For most of legal history, a photograph or a video carried its own weight. If it looked real, people assumed it was real. AI has broken that assumption. Tools now generate images and video that are hard to distinguish from genuine footage, and they can also alter real files, changing what a scene shows or what a message appears to say. Judges around the country have openly said the court system is still catching up to this, and cases have already surfaced where fabricated digital evidence caused real harm before it was caught.<\/p>\n<p>In a personal injury case, the stakes are practical. Fault often turns on a few seconds of dashcam or a single scene photo. Your damages often turn on medical images and records. If any of that can be faked or quietly edited, both sides need a reliable way to prove what is true, and you need to understand how that proof works.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"kb-h2\">How This Shows Up in a Real Crash Case<\/h2>\n<p>The risk runs in two directions, and both can affect you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fabricated or altered evidence used against you.<\/strong> An altered dashcam clip, a doctored scene photo, or fabricated text messages could be offered to shift blame onto you or to suggest your injuries are exaggerated. That is not science fiction; courts have already dealt with fabricated messages that led to real consequences for innocent people.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your genuine evidence attacked as fake.<\/strong> The flip side is just as dangerous. Because everyone now knows AI fakes exist, an insurer or defense lawyer can point at your real photo or video and simply claim it might be fabricated. Commentators call this the liar&#8217;s dividend, where the mere possibility of fakery is used to cast doubt on authentic proof. This is one more reason to preserve your evidence carefully from day one.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"kb-h2\">How Michigan Courts Decide What Is Real<\/h2>\n<p>Michigan already has a framework for this, and it does not disappear because the technology changed. Before a photo, video, recording, or document can be used as evidence, the party offering it has to authenticate it, which means producing enough proof that the item is what that party claims it is. A screenshot or a clip does not walk into court on its own; someone has to lay a foundation for it.<\/p>\n<p>That foundation can come from the person who took the photo or recorded the video, from metadata showing when and where a file was created, from the chain of custody proving how the file was handled, and sometimes from an expert who can speak to whether a file shows signs of manipulation. If the other side cannot meet that burden, the evidence should not come in. Authentication is the doorway, and AI fakery makes that doorway more important, not less.<\/p>\n<div class=\"kb-cite\"><strong>The authentication requirement:<\/strong> Under Michigan Rule of Evidence 901, evidence must be authenticated before it is admitted, meaning the party offering an item must present enough proof to support a finding that the item is what that party claims it is. MRE 902 covers certain records that are self-authenticating. When reliability of a technical method is disputed, MRE 702 governs whether expert analysis of the evidence may be presented.<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"kb-h2\">The New Rules Taking Shape Around AI Evidence<\/h2>\n<p>The legal system is actively writing rules for this moment. In August 2025, the federal Advisory Committee on Evidence Rules published a draft Rule 707 aimed at machine-generated and AI-generated evidence offered without a live expert to explain it. The proposal would require that kind of output to meet the same reliability standards courts already apply to expert testimony. The public comment period on the draft closed in February 2026. The committee has also been working on a related change to the authentication rule to address deepfakes and AI-altered media directly.<\/p>\n<p>Two points matter for you. First, these federal rules move slowly and would not take effect until 2027 at the earliest, and they apply in federal court. Most Michigan crash cases are handled in state court under the Michigan Rules of Evidence, where authentication under MRE 901 is already the front line. Second, the direction is clear: courts are building tighter checks on AI evidence, and a well-prepared case leans into those checks rather than hoping they never come up.<\/p>\n<div class=\"kb-cite\"><strong>Where the federal rule stands:<\/strong> A draft Federal Rule of Evidence 707, addressing machine-generated and AI-generated evidence offered without an accompanying expert, was published for comment in August 2025, with the comment period closing February 16, 2026. Under the federal rulemaking process it would not take effect before December 1, 2027. It applies in federal court; Michigan state-court cases continue to apply the Michigan Rules of Evidence.<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"kb-h2\">How to Protect the Evidence That Supports Your Claim<\/h2>\n<p>The best defense against a fakery fight is a clean, well-preserved record of your own. Simple habits make your evidence far harder to challenge:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Keep the originals.<\/strong> Save the original photo and video files straight off your phone or dashcam, not edited copies or social media re-uploads that strip out the data.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Do not crop, filter, or edit<\/strong> the files you intend to rely on. Editing invites the argument that something was changed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Preserve metadata.<\/strong> The hidden date, time, and location information attached to a file helps prove it is genuine.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Write down what happened while it is fresh,<\/strong> including who took each photo and when.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hand originals to your attorney early<\/strong> so the chain of custody is documented and the files are secured.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"kb-h2\">If the Other Side Plays the AI Card<\/h2>\n<p>If an insurer offers evidence you believe is fabricated or altered, or challenges your genuine proof as a possible fake, that dispute is fought through authentication and, where needed, expert forensic analysis. An experienced attorney can demand the original files and metadata, question how the other side&#8217;s evidence was created and handled, and bring in a specialist to examine a file for signs of manipulation. The goal is the same in both directions: keep fabricated material out, and get your authentic evidence in with a foundation strong enough to withstand attack.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"kb-h2\">Deadlines You Still Have to Watch<\/h2>\n<p>No evidence question changes the clock. For a claim against the at-fault driver, you generally have three years from the date of the crash to file suit under MCL 600.5805(2). For no-fault benefits, MCL 500.3145 requires written notice to your insurer within one year of the crash and limits how far back you can collect. Evidence also fades fast; dashcam files get overwritten and phones get lost, so preserving proof and getting advice early protect each other.<\/p>\n<div class=\"kb-related\">\n<h4>\u0a38\u0a2c\u0a70\u0a27\u0a24 \u0a17\u0a3f\u0a06\u0a28-\u0a05\u0a27\u0a3e\u0a30\u0a3f\u0a24 \u0a32\u0a47\u0a16<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"\/ai-crash-video-dashcam-fault-michigan-injury-2026\/\">Can AI Crash Video Be Used to Blame You?<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"\/ai-police-crash-report-michigan-injury-claim-2026\/\">AI in Your Police Crash Report<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"\/what-to-do-after-a-car-accident-in-michigan-2026\/\">What to Do After a Car Accident in Michigan<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"\/pa\/ai-social-media-surveillance-michigan-injury-claim-2026\/\">Is the Insurer&#8217;s AI Watching Your Social Media?<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"kb-h2\">\u0a05\u0a15\u0a38\u0a30 \u0a2a\u0a41\u0a71\u0a1b\u0a47 \u0a1c\u0a3e\u0a02\u0a26\u0a47 \u0a38\u0a35\u0a3e\u0a32<\/h2>\n<div class=\"kb-faq\">\n<h3 class=\"kb-h3\">Can the insurance company use an AI-altered photo or video against me?<\/h3>\n<p>Not without clearing a hurdle. Before any photo, video, or recording is admitted in a Michigan court, the party offering it must authenticate it under MRE 901, showing it is what they claim it is. Fabricated or altered material that cannot be authenticated should not come in, and your attorney can demand the original file and challenge how it was created and handled.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"kb-h3\">What if the insurer claims my real evidence is a deepfake?<\/h3>\n<p>That is why preserving originals matters. Keep the unedited file straight from your phone or dashcam, along with its metadata, and give it to your attorney early. A clean original with intact date, time, and location data, plus a documented chain of custody, is strong support that your evidence is genuine.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"kb-h3\">Is there a new law about AI-generated evidence?<\/h3>\n<p>The rules are being written now. A draft Federal Rule of Evidence 707 on machine-generated evidence was published for comment in 2025, with comments closing in February 2026, and it would not take effect before December 2027. It applies in federal court. Most Michigan crash cases run in state court, where authentication under MRE 901 already governs.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"kb-h3\">Should I edit or clean up my crash photos before sending them in?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Cropping, filtering, or editing a file invites the argument that it was altered. Save and share the original, unedited file, and let your attorney handle it. If you need a copy for your own reference, keep the original untouched.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"kb-h3\">Does this mean my phone photos are useless now?<\/h3>\n<p>Not at all. Genuine, well-preserved photos and videos remain powerful evidence. The point is to protect them: keep originals, avoid editing, preserve metadata, and document who took what and when, so their authenticity is easy to establish if it is ever questioned.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"kb-cta\">\n<h3>Worried your evidence will be challenged?
