A (VSD) video settlement documentary is a new genre of video documentaries that  continues to grow in Northwest Arkansas.

A VSD is an all-inclusive presentation that presents liability and/or damages to the legal teams, adjusters or claims committee at, or prior to, mediation for the purpose of resolving a claim.

The purpose is to enhance the recovery amount for the injured party/parties to covers the financial needs for the past, present and future.

In many cases, your client has already experienced a significant financial hit just to get their life back to some representation of the life BEFORE the incident.

Our process tell's your client's story from a factual and impactful perspective. We use interviews, graphics, and evidence to establish the impact your client's altered lifestyle due to the incident. 

Our video will give all partied an understanding of what will be presented at trial and a chance to re-evaluate the case before mediation.

Because these videos and presentations are strictly confidential, video's can only be made available upon special request.

What is a "Day in the Life Video?"

An ADL video is an unflinching portrait of your client's activities of daily living and their struggles to complete the simplest of tasks. So if law firms are involved in a case that has impacted someone's activities of daily living, then an ADL video is necessary for your case.

It can highlight how determined your client is to maintain a sense of independence, which will allow the audience to emotionally connect with your client. 

What can be most compelling is how your client succeeds in finding ways to still successfully engage in simple activities such as cooking a meal, playing with their child or going to the store.

An image from above can speak a thousand words. Being able to see an entire location can provide perspective to many situations. Whether it's a trucking accident you are trying to explain, an industrial incident, or a real estate issue, an aerial image can most certainly bring clarity to your case.

With our drones, we are able to fly at up to 400' to assist with grasping the entirety of what is needed to give clarity for your case.

Sure, you could use a free tool like Google Maps or Google Earth, but did you know that those images might be months or even a couple years old? In that case the aerial image may not accurately depict your scene accurately resulting in the need to explain what is not accurate in your current image.

People, including jurors, have come to expect more than just paper to tell a compelling story. 

We all have been spoiled by Hollywood and the technology evolution to help us see and understand simple and complex ideas.

By capturing a witness's body language on video can dramatically increase your case for impeachment purposes. Instead of reading a witness transcript, video can show the jury more with both audio and video impressions.

As seen in court, the way someone answers a question can be as important as the answer itself.

So the importance of redacting and editing video testimony becomes paramount. A video edit done incorrectly destroys the impact of a statement. 

Conversely, a video edit done very well can make the point so well that it leaves a lasting impression on the jury.

What is IMR? Independent Medical Review (IMR) is a non-judicial way to  resolve disputes about the medical treatment of injured employees.

If a  request by a treating physician for a specific course of medical  treatment is delayed, denied or modified by a claims administrator for  the reason that the treatment is not medically necessary, the injured  employee can ask for a review of that decision by physician conducted  IMR. 

Generally, the attorney for the plaintiff will contract with medical professionals to perform the IMR.  Then when the exam is scheduled, a videographer will arrive at the exam location and record the exam while staying out of the way as much as possible to record the exam.

Capturing a medical exam on video allows for interested parties to be in the examination room.

Making a video record of the progress or damages made at a construction site gives you the ability to go back in time and show the progression or document the damages in detail.

A key objective of all construction documentation is to preserve a  contemporaneous (prepared at the time), accurate, and factual record of  what occurred on the project. And, frankly, the credibility of one  document adds to the credibility of all your documents. Given the  credibility of video, they not only serve to quickly and efficiently  document important events, but they also enhance the credibility of all  related documents.

The new normal is here, and it’s time to embrace the reality of remote, virtual, and hybrid depositions in the world of litigation. 

“Remote” depositions are nothing new and have actually been around for several years before the pandemic. It was the exception, rather than the rule, where the witness appeared “remotely” through a video conferencing system while the lawyers and court reporters were all physically located in a firm conference room. Exhibits were still distributed in physical paper form.
