Why is a “Day in The Life of” Video Important?

July 15, 2020 //  by Ortiz Law Firm//  Leave a Comment

These are just some of the reasons why a “Day In The Life Of” video is so important to your long term disability claim and why we encourage you to go ahead and put one together and submit it during the appeal process.

What Is a Day in the Life of Video?

Do I Really Need to Submit a Video?

A “Day in the Life of Video” is critical for several reasons: First, we’re gonna talk about its role in the appeal process. This type of video is useful because it humanizes you. It allows the adjuster who’s reviewing your case to see the exact impact that your condition is having on your life. So if you’re filming how difficult it is for you to move about your house or to go to the store or to engage in any other activities of daily living, then that can humanize your claim for the adjuster. It’s also extremely important in the event that your case needs to go to court.

As you can see from some of my other videos, in an ERISA case, the evidence is very different than any other type of case: you’re not allowed to introduce any new evidence and you’re not allowed to testify. If you were to have submitted a “Day In The Life Of Video” during the appeal process, that becomes part of your claim file, it can be used in litigation and a judge can look at it and see the impact that your condition has had on your life. In a way, it’s as if you were testifying in court.

Finally, it’s a really great negotiation tool. Again, to the extent that it humanizes you to anyone looking at your case. The person who’s deciding whether to settle your case will see the video, see the impact it’s had on your life, and they may be willing to settle your case for a little bit more money.

This is just one tip that we offer regarding the way that your case should be handled in the appeal process. If you’d like to talk to someone in our office about more tips, then we encourage you to give us a call at (888) 321-8131. Or, if you’d like to download some additional information for free, then you can download a free copy of a book that I wrote called, “Top 10 Mistakes That Will Destroy Your Long-Term Disability Claim.” You can download a copy here. We look forward to talking to you.

Top Ten Mistakes That Will Destroy Your Long Term Disability Claim

View All Resources

It's always a difficult time when your forced to hire an attorney just to receive benefits that you are entitled to. I just want to say that Otiz law firm has done an amazing job keeping me updated on every step of the process which helped relieve some of my stress of the unknown. It was also tremendously helpful to no longer have to personally deal with the anxiety created by the constant bombardment of arguments and requests from the insurance company. Not every case is a guaranteed win, but having someone fight for my rights and argue on my behalf made it well worthwhile. I appreciate the ones willing to fight for our rights.
