What Is a Day-in-the-Life Legal Video?

The definition

A day-in-the-life video is a professional documentary record of a person's daily activities and circumstances — often after an injury — produced to communicate, truthfully and respectfully, what their life is actually like.

When it is used

It is used when a person's daily activities and circumstances are relevant to damages and should be shown clearly to a jury, mediator, or insurer.

Honesty over performance

The best day-in-the-life videos are honest. The subject is treated with respect, coverage is unobtrusive, and the result is a credible record — not a performance.
