Settlement / Day-in-the-Life Videos

Effective settlement videos have a strong impact on the viewer without appearing to be contrived or overly dramatized. The ability to do this takes a significant level of skill and experience.

A settlement video documents the, pain, limitations, financial burden, need for attendant care, the goals and dreams that are no longer within reach and the emotional impact caused by the injuries. When skillfully produced it provides a clear incentive for settlement. A well design settlement video gives the insurance adjuster a strong sense that they should not let this case go before a jury.

Along with high quality footage of the plaintiff our settlement videos often include pre-incident photos or videos, interviews and/or narration by family members and diagnostic images.

Producing the best settlement videos also requires the ability to work with the injured person and their family members in a way that is sensitive and compassionate yet also achieves a result which conveys the harsh physical and emotional reality created by the injury.

The combination of talent and skills required to achieve highly effective settlement videos is not commonly found in people with a background in court reporting or video taping depositions.

The background of our lead videographer, Don Handyside includes a B.A. in Radio, TV and Film and an M.Ed in Instructional Technology. He also has extensive experience producing highly effective Day-in-the-Life and Settlement videos.
