Reveal the Reality with Legal Day in the Life Video Services
Forensic Video Law provides nationwide legal day in the life video services designed to give attorneys a clear, visual record of a client’s daily experience after catastrophic injury or loss.

Each project is produced with professional standards, careful planning, and structured documentation. These videos are frequently used by attorneys in mediation, settlement negotiations, or trial preparation to help communicate the real impact of injury on clients’ lives.
Our services include:
- Nationwide day-in-the-life video production
- Professional mediation video services
- Video enhancement and upscaling for existing footage
- Attorney-focused courtroom-ready visual records

Why Attorneys Use Legal Day in the Life Video Services
Words may describe pain, but video shows it. Our day in the life legal videos capture clients struggling with daily activities, requiring assistance, or experiencing mobility and cognitive limitations. They provide a compelling, visual context that complements testimony, medical reports, and depositions.
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.

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!
— Fred Bergen & Carl Varnedoe, Savannah, Georgia Trial Attorneys
“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
