A Personal Injury Firm’s Decision
Day in the Life videos provide an insurance adjuster a human face. That’s the long and short of it right there. Right? So, what are some of the other factors that play into the decision?
First, let’s start at the top of the list, the policy limit. It doesn’t make much sense creating a Day In The Life Video for a victim with low coverage. These videos are used for serious accidents. When a person is confined to a wheelchair and they need help showering, eating, getting to appointments; their life has been dramatically altered. It makes sense to tell their story! But you may have concerns. Here’s one; will my client be convincing on camera? Injury attorneys worry that their injured victim might be nervous or won’t look good on camera. The truth is none of that matters. We’ve found that the more authentic somebody is, the better they’ll do. For instance, if a person is sincere, likable, and honest, those are good characteristics that will go far. A serious injury changes someone, this video will showcase those changes.
The Value of Time
Time is another concern for many law firms. What kind of extra time or resources will they need to expend on a Day in the Life video? In reality, hiring a video settlement specialist for your case may very well save you time. We say that because in our research and interviews we’ll be able to unearth more facts and testimony that will help your case. Information that possibly didn’t surface before.
A settlement video complements your paper settlement. They both work hand in hand. The video alone can’t go into the same amount of detail your demand needs to. However, it will provide the emotion and human touch that doesn’t exist in a paper file.
How Can My Client Benefit?
Injury victims benefit in three ways from a video. Let’s explore those.
- A Day in the Life video reveals the before and after of an accident. How is your client’s life now different? What are some specific examples we can provide to show how life has changed for them?
- The insurance adjuster now has a name and a face to go along with the demand. Because of the video they’ll be able to see the pain that this person and their family has had to endure. Text cannot provide that same experience!
- We’re able to communicate not only how life has changed today, but what kind of impact the accident will play in the future. Lost wages, loneliness, pain, anxiety….we show the ripple effect an injury brings.
To sum things up, video is an asset that more law firms are turning to in order to get the most leverage out of their client’s case. It’s an instrument for good; a tool that increases the settlement and helps your client move forward.
