It is unusual for any large personal injury case to go to mediation without a Day in the Life Video. Even though these videos are shorter than a Plaintiff Documentary, they can be very powerful tools if filmed correctly. We at LifeNow recommend at least one interview to help narrate and personalize the footage.
In this clip, Mom is actually talking about her child who is not injured. While this discussion may not be admissible in court, most mediators would agree that this video fairly depicts how this injury effects the entire family; all parties now have a much more personal understanding of this family and their situation. This depth of understanding could never come from written words or a Powerpoint slide show.
