IME Videography: Documenting the Examination

An Independent Medical Examination can become an important part of a case. LexHD's IME videography is designed to create a professional, uninterrupted visual record of the examination process.

Coverage can include the subject's arrival and registration, introductions, questioning, physical assessments and conclusion of the examination. LexHD describes its approach as discreet and neutral, with videographers positioned to document the examination without interfering with the process.

Video can preserve details that aren't fully conveyed by a written report, including movements, demonstrations, instructions, interactions and the sequence of events.

LexHD also offers transcript production and transcript synchronization upon request, allowing attorneys to search video, locate testimony and create clips for case preparation.

Why record an IME?

Depending on the case and applicable jurisdictional requirements, video documentation may help attorneys:

• Maintain a visual record of the examination
• Review the examination in detail
• Compare the examination with medical reports and testimony
• Identify discrepancies for further investigation
• Prepare for deposition, mediation or trial
• Preserve footage for future litigation needs

Whether an IME may be recorded—and under what conditions—can vary by jurisdiction and case circumstances. LexHD notes that counsel should determine the applicable requirements and authority for recording.

CME & Medical-Legal Video

Medical-legal matters can involve complicated procedures, expert testimony, demonstrations and examinations.

Professional video can help preserve these events with clear audio, professional framing and appropriate documentation.

LexHD's legal video capabilities include recording complex medical presentations and demonstrations, including multi-camera setups and audio enhancements when requested.

For attorneys handling medical malpractice, personal injury, product liability and other cases involving medical evidence, professional video can provide another way to review and present information.

Day-in-the-Life Videos

A medical record can describe an injury.

A doctor's report can describe limitations.

But sometimes the most effective way to understand the impact of an injury is to see what everyday life actually looks like.

A Day-in-the-Life video documents how an individual lives with an injury, illness or disability.

Depending on the assignment, this may include:

• Getting out of bed
• Getting dressed
• Preparing meals
• Traveling to appointments
• Physical therapy
• Working or attempting to work
• Using mobility equipment
• Completing household activities
• Interacting with family
• Participating in daily activities
• Managing ongoing physical or cognitive limitations

LexHD identifies Day-in-the-Life videos as a service used to document daily struggles, rehabilitation and the real-world effects of an injury.

The result is a visual story that can help attorneys, insurers, mediators and other authorized audiences understand the day-to-day consequences of an injury.

We also provide excellent video editing for all of our videos.

Settlement Videos

Not every case goes to trial.

Settlement discussions often require attorneys to communicate the facts and impact of a case efficiently.

LexHD provides video editing and production for settlement conference presentations and highlight reels, including clips drawn from depositions and other case footage.

A settlement presentation might combine:

Client interviews + Day-in-the-Life footage + medical information + photographs + deposition excerpts + supporting visuals

into one professionally produced presentation.

The purpose is to give the intended audience a concise, organized visual understanding of the case and its human impact.

Memorial & Legacy Recordings

Some assignments aren't about litigation strategy at all.

Sometimes families want to preserve the voice, stories and memories of someone they love.

A professional memorial recording can preserve:

• Personal stories
• Family history
• Interviews with loved ones
• Messages to children or grandchildren
• Memories and life experiences
• Photographs and family video
• Personal reflections
• Tributes and memorial services

These recordings can become a lasting family archive.

For attorneys handling wrongful-death matters, memorial and legacy-focused productions may also be part of broader documentation or presentation needs, subject to the purpose of the assignment and applicable privacy requirements.

Nationwide Coverage

One of the challenges of legal video is that cases rarely stay in one place.

A witness may be in another state.

An IME may take place hundreds of miles from the attorney's office.

A client may need a Day-in-the-Life production at home.

A settlement presentation may require footage from multiple locations.

LexHD provides nationwide legal videography coverage, including in-person, remote and hybrid legal proceedings. Its network is designed to provide consistent procedures and professional video services across jurisdictions.

More Than a Camera Operator

Legal videography requires more than knowing how to operate a camera.

The professional recording of legal and medical-legal events can involve:

Lighting
Professional audio
Camera positioning
Time coding
Secure file handling
Chain-of-custody procedures
Transcript synchronization
Legal video editing
Trial-ready formatting

LexHD states that its legal video services include professional equipment, redundant recording systems, secure delivery and post-production services such as transcript syncing, clip creation, designation edits and exhibit integration.
