You've spent the time building a solid case for your client and preparing them for court. Now, you need an extra layer of evidentiary support to really bolster your client's chances of success. Litigation videos are an effective way to show the judge and jury a complete picture of what a plaintiff has gone through in their recovery process, as well as what their current condition is in their daily lives.
What is a litigation video?
A litigation video is a documentary recording that shows the damages and difficulties that your client faces or has faced as a result of the defendant's actions. There are many types of litigation videos, and they can go by different names. However, the overall purpose of each of these videos is to document the impact an accident or injury has had on your client and to show the effects in the courtroom.
I have created videos for hundreds of clients, and I know just how valuable this video documentation can be. It's essentially the closest that a judge, jury, and mediator will get to witnessing a plaintiff's difficulties first-hand, and this is usually very persuasive evidence.
What types of litigation videos are there?
I create settlement videos, day-in-the-life videos, and documentary videos for personal injury and workers' compensation attorneys. Which type of video is best for your case is dependent upon the type of personal injury case and the specific injuries or other changes your client must overcome. Regardless of which one you choose, they are incredibly persuasive for personal injury, motor vehicle accident, medical malpractice, and workers' compensation cases.
My decades of experience in litigation video production allows me to advise you on the best option for your case or if a video is appropriate or necessary in your case at all.
How are these videos useful?
Aside from providing solid visual documentation of things that would otherwise go unseen in a courtroom, litigation videos can also be a glimpse into the past. Oftentimes, by the time a case makes it to trial, months or even years have gone by since an injury or accident first occurred. That is a significant amount of time for your client to recover, heal, and adapt to the damages they sustained. While recovery is good news for your client's overall wellbeing, it can be a detriment to the outcome of a case. When all the judge or jury sees is a relatively healthy or adjusted plaintiff, they may not be as likely to award the compensation that is just. Litigation videos provide an opportunity for them to see the difficult road your client traveled to get to this point.
Storytelling and videography are pivotal parts of an effective litigation video. Working with Videos for Litigation ensures that you get a high-quality documentary video that tells your client's story in a respectful and compelling way.
