personal injury documentary
What is a personal injury video?
These videos are a powerful way for a personal injury victim to tell his/her story. Through professional legal videography, you can give critical insight into the day-to-day life of the victim, demonstrating the damages that an incident has caused him/her. A Personal Injury documentary provides a strong platform for the words of the victim, presenting them in a very compelling way.
A video for a personal injury case uses “contrast” to define the non-economic damages. Contrast communicates the nuances which help the viewer understand the nature and extent of an injury and its effects on your client’s everyday life.
Professionally produced Andrews Legal Media videos are developed to deeply resonate with the viewers. People need to feel the victim's struggle through daily activities, and to experience what life is now like because of their injuries.
interviews are the key
Through the use of interviews with family members, caregivers, and friends, combined with photos, home videos, and documents, the life of the plaintiff prior to the injury and the manner in which that life has changed are irrefutably presented.
The interview with the plaintiff is an impactful storytelling device that not only brings to life their physical struggle, but when used as voiceovers for their Day In The Life footage, also the mental anguish and suffering they are going through in their new reality.
A video medical statement by a treating physician can also be included which clinically explains diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and causation. Combined with footage from their Medical Examination, this interview can go a long way in explaining the "big picture" of your clients case.

humanize your client and their situation
Without video, your client is just a recurring name on a claim file and in a series of depositions, reports, and interrogatories. Video will humanize your client, showing them as a living, breathing, human being who suffers daily because of the defendant’s actions. It isn’t enough to show where it hurts or why it hurts. You must also show how the hurt affects your client’s activities and the way in which it compromises all of life’s pleasures.
connecting on a human level
As an example, the value of a shoulder injury isn’t measured so much in terms of limited strength and range of motion, although those have their clinical uses. More important is the resulting inability to play tennis, work in the garden, take mixing bowls down from high kitchen cabinets, or paint the kids’ rooms. These are the tasks that an adjuster, a mediator, or a possible jury are likely to connect with most on a human level.
