All it takes is a moment of negligence on the part of someone else to cause an accident that could change your life forever. While calculating your medical expenses and lost wages may be fairly straightforward, collecting all the compensation you deserve may depend on psychically showing how your personal injury impacts your life. Of course, personal testimony and keeping detailed records are important as well, but pictures are worth a thousand words, and videos can be worth much more.

How Videos Help Your Personal Injury Claim

A “day in the life” video showing what you go through every day is a powerful piece of evidence, especially if you’ve been severely injured. The responsible party may claim you’re not as badly hurt as you say, but a video will rebut those arguments and demonstrate that you deserve to be fully compensated, not only for your medical expenses but also for your pain and suffering. If you have to go to trial, videos are also very persuasive for a jury, who will sympathize with your struggles and be more likely to help.

How a Personal Injury Attorney Will Help

You don’t need expensive equipment or technical skills to create a compelling “day in the life” video. A good personal injury attorney will send an investigator to your house to make a short documentary about your daily activities. In most cases, just half an hour with one of these professionals will significantly enhance the value of your claim.
