Video Settlement Documentaries
Powerful Presentation of The Facts, Liability and Damages


The Video Settlement Documentary (VSD) is a comprehensive documentary produced along the lines of a broadcast television news magazine such as 60 Minutes or 48 Hours.  The VSD is created as a vehicle to educate opposing counsel and other decision makers about the merits of your case and will likely be shown at mediation or arbitration of the matter.  The VSD is not intended to be admissible as evidence, and as such, the content and production style is not limited by evidentiary rules and case law.

A VSD is best used to present a full picture of your case - from factual underpinnings, to causation, proximate cause, liability and damages.  A voiceover narration binds together all elements of your case into a powerful and compelling presentation which cannot be ignored.

While the VSD often includes elements of Day-In-The-Life films, it may also include any or all of the following source materials:

  • Broadcast new footage
  • Police or Witness Videos and Photographs
  • Witness Interviews (eye-witness, before & after, family members)
  • Treating Physician and Therapist Interviews
  • Expert Witness Video Statements and Affidavits
  • Video Deposition Excerpts
  • Attorney Introductions & Closing Remarks
  • Focus Group & Mock Jury Deliberations and Exit Interviews
  • Field Footage & Site Video
  • Family Photographs & Home Video
  • Medical Records
  • XRays, CT Scans, MRI, PET Scans and other films
  • Surgical and Medical Instructional Video
  • Medical & Technical Illustration
  • Forensic and Medical Animation
  • Informational Graphics

A well-thought-out and professionally produced video settlement documentary can be one of the most effective tools at your disposal to educate those who do not fully appreciate to value of your case.
