Reveal the Reality. Move the Needle. Secure the Compensation.

---

At Forensic Video Law, we produce court-admissible Day in the Life videos that go far beyond testimony, photographs, or medical records. These emotionally powerful narratives provide a visual window into your client’s daily struggles, physical pain, emotional trauma, and personal loss.

In high-stakes personal injury and wrongful death cases, this type of video evidence often makes the difference between fair compensation and a dismissed human experience.

What Is a Day in the Life Video?

A Day in the Life video is a professionally filmed, carefully edited documentary that captures the daily routine and lived experiences of an injured plaintiff. It is a powerful tool used by attorneys in settlement negotiations, mediations, and trials to illustrate the true, ongoing impact of catastrophic injury or loss.

These videos are designed to:

• Humanize the plaintiff
• Demonstrate long-term disability or suffering
• Underscore the need for compensation
• Create emotional resonance with adjusters, defense attorneys, judges, and juries

 

When and Why to Use One

We recommend Day in the Life videos in cases involving:

• Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
• Spinal cord injuries
• Loss of limbs or mobility
• Severe burns
• Chronic pain or disfigurement
• Wrongful death (to show the loss through family members’ eyes)
• Any life-altering injury where routine activities are no longer routine

Whether your case is heading to mediation, settlement negotiation, or trial, our videos are crafted to shift perception and create irrefutable empathy for your client’s daily hardship.

 

Why Video Works Better Than Words

Words may describe pain.A video shows it.

A well-crafted Day in the Life video does what no medical report or deposition ever could:

• It shows the plaintiff struggling to dress, bathe, or eat.
• It captures a spouse lifting and transferring them from bed to wheelchair.
• It reveals how silence, isolation, or cognitive dysfunction now define their days.

This isn’t just information. It’s evidence. And it works — because decision-makers feel it.

Real-World Results

“The room was silent for some time after the video presentation ended and within a short time the defense said, we didn't bring enough money” stated attorney Carl Varnedoe. The defense then requested to take the video back to their company. Mr. Bergen said, "Sure I have a copy right here on this thumb drive." After the video was passed up the ladder, negotiations hit their peak. The case settled for $5.65 million above policy limits - for a total of $6.65 million!

“The video documentary James Jenkins produced was truly phenomenal! We had a target to hit for this first mediation... James' video documentary lead to the case settling two weeks later for our target of $2 million dollars.”
— Patrick W. Harland, St. Petersburg, FL Personal Injury Attorney
