Statutory codes may restrict the numbers—but they don’t limit the story.

In wrongful death cases like the one sampled above, families often face capped damages for grief, emotional suffering, and loss of companionship. But when the legal ceiling is fixed, your client’s voice becomes your most powerful tool. In this case, Mardirossian Akaragian, LLP brought us on to produce an in-depth settlement video that captured pain and loss after a patriarch was killed due to unwarranted police violence culminating in a fatal and avoidable error. The case settled for $14,350,000. 

MotionLit’s wrongful death settlement videos help survivors tell their story—visually, personally, and persuasively. These are not just emotional moments on film; they are carefully crafted presentations that bring clarity to complex loss and urgency to the negotiation table.

Do caps restrict higher settlements if a video is used?
Legally, yes—statutory limits still apply to non-economic damages.
But strategically, videos drive full policy-limit offers, apply pressure early, and support uncapped claims—especially when punitive damages come into play.

In cases involving gross negligence, misconduct, or systemic failure, our videos highlight patterns of recklessness that reinforce a punitive argument—escalating risk for the defense and often prompting earlier, higher-value settlements.

“MotionLit helps lawyers build their case early by organizing evidence and previewing how it could play out at trial.”-Armen Akaragian, Esq. of Mardirossian Akaragian, LLP.
