Day-In-The-Life Videography

A Day-In-The-Life Video is arguably one of the most powerful ways to demonstrate the Plaintiff's physical / mental injury and present the actual depth of damages in his or her daily, personal life.
Documentation of the daily struggles a Plaintiff experiences is a powerful tool to share with a jury responsible for deciding the size of a settlement, producing a larger verdict.  Through the video, the jury is allowed access to a Plaintiff's living environment, which is crucial for most cases.

Also, this video can help you settle a case since a Defendant can actually see what a Plaintiff goes through on a day-to-day basis and they will see in advance what a jury will see later, which could yield a larger settlement amount.

It takes an entire day to tape a Day-In-The-Life video, but it can then be condensed to a few minutes, which helps you quickly present the facts in a case.

What Is a Day-in-the-Life Video?

 The entire goal of a Day-In-The-Life video is to record and portray the plaintiff's activities of daily living, thereby presenting the extent of damage done to his or her personal life.  The initial video-taping session consists of 1 entire day of filming the plaintiff as he or she goes about his or her daily activities.  Then, the video is edited to a very effective 20 to 30 minute synopsis of that day. 
Effective uses of a Day-In-The-Life video are not limited to extreme or catastrophic injuries either.
 
For example, your client (plaintiff) may have had a life-altering injury that led to blindness, deadness, or some other kind of impairment or brain damage.  Often, the impact of these limitations are difficult to portray to a jury without a Day-In-The-Life video.  
 
It is much more effective to demonstrate the impact of:
  • mental impairments or anguish
  • ongoing medical need
  • wage / earning potential loss
  • pain & suffering
  • other intangible detriments

Video is arguably the best form of documented evidence next to a real life presentation.  When you need to express the depth of injury to your client, nothing compares to the evidence portrayed in a Day-In-The-Life video.  Whether you are presenting mental injury or anguish, increased medical needs, income deprivation, pain, suffering and other serious but intangible evidence, a Day-In-The-Life video has far more impact than any other form of evidence or presentation. 
 
Day-in-the-Life Videos are also incredibly powerful because they:
 
  • Show how the plaintiff's daily living skills have been diminished or affected
  • Reveal the necessity of special care and equipment 
  • Demonstrates the impact on the plaintiff's family members helping establish loss of society claims
  • Can adequately bolster the testimony of the Physical Therapist or Occupational Therapist regarding ongoing need
  • Provides powerful evidence for Life Plan Needs and future care requirements
  • Combined as a "Progressive Video", it can show improvement based on therapy over a longer time period
  • Can be edited to a succinct, 30-minute video for efficient demonstration purposes
  • Where possible, a short lead-in video of the Plaintiff in "pre-injured" condition can contrast his or her present state very clearly.
  • Effectively using a "lead-in" video of this nature can impart a significant impression as to the effect of the injuries and diminished quality of living on the Plaintiff.
