More than 200 plaintiff personal injury attorneys retain Andrew Colton for Day in the Life videos and settlement documentaries. The following case studies describe how these productions have helped serious injury and wrongful death cases resolve. Identifying client information has been modified or omitted to protect confidentiality.
Spinal Cord Injury — Construction Accident
A Day in the Life video and settlement documentary helped an incomplete spinal cord injury case resolve at mediation. The production documented daily life in a way medical records alone could not convey.
Wrongful Death — Commercial Vehicle Accident
A Life After Loss® settlement documentary showed the impact of a fatal collision on a surviving spouse and three minor children. The case resolved before the mediation session concluded.
Traumatic Brain Injury — Motor Vehicle Accident
A Day in the Life video made an invisible injury visible after prior productions failed to capture the reality of the client’s cognitive and behavioral limitations. The case resolved favorably in settlement negotiations.
Below the Knee Amputation — Industrial Accident
Defense counsel had characterized the case as one of successful adaptation. A Day in the Life video documented what adaptation actually looks like every day — and the case resolved significantly above the defense’s pre-video position.
Pediatric Medical Malpractice — Encephalitis
A physician’s delayed diagnosis left a seven-year-old with permanent neurological damage. A combined Day in the Life video and Life After Loss® documentary restored her personhood in a mediation room. The neurological defense collapsed. The case resolved that day.
Wrongful Death — Food Poisoning from Contaminated Packaged Meat
A Life After Loss® documentary documented who a sixty-three-year-old father was — not how he died. Defense counsel requested an early settlement conference before mediation was reached. The case resolved.
