Day-In-The-Life Video
With a Day-In-The-Life video you can communicate the effect of an injury on your client's life. A Day-In-The-Life video may be used as a tool to leverage a settlement, or is generally court admissible at trial and entered under the testimony of a spouse or caregiver. The purpose of these videos is to demonstrate the difficulty your client has in completing simple tasks such as getting out of bed, trying to maneuver himself or herself around the house, eating, remembering how to live, and coping with a completely different lifestyle. These elements communicate to the defense attorney, claims committee and/or the jury your client’s injuries.
When shooting a day in the life video, Image Resources, Inc. prefers to arrive before the client gets out of bed and stay most of the day. However, the client's activities can be compressed into a few hours, substantially reducing the budget required. It is important to watch the injured perform all of his/her daily tasks.
Tasks which may be included:
- Morning routine
- Medications
- Eating meals
- Physical, Occupational, and/or Speech Therapy
- ADLs
- Wheelchair transfers
- Transportation by van or car
- Bowel and bladder programs
- Dressing changes
- Bathing
- Brushing teeth and/or shaving
- Cooking
- Bedtime routine
Day-In-The-Life videos are shot with professional digital cameras and edited in our state-of-the-art edit facility.
