WE INVEST THE TIME CHALLENGING CASES REQUIRE
Other media companies can't provide our proven, end-to-end process — from initial investigation through final presentation — designed to maximize outcomes for plaintiffs. When they win, we win.
Our Approach
How Diamond Bullet develops challenging cases
Case Review & Contingency Agreement
We review the case for value — and since we love a challenge, we almost never turn one down. We discuss the strengths and weaknesses with the attorney to align on what we're working with before committing resources. At this point we will execute a contingency contract with the injured client for a small percentage.
Deep Research & Discovery
We dig into research surrounding similar injury or death events and the kind of warnings that exist in the industry, or we may dig deeply into the medical record of the injuries, or possibly conduct a preliminary interview with the client to uncover more about damages or facts to help nail down liability. If your case is already in the discovery phase we will drill deep into all received documents. If not, we can often do our own discovery work yielding very valuable evidence and information.
Evidence Assimilation & Expert Assessment
We begin to generate our files made up of valuable fact documents that provide information on prior warning, and also begin to distill down the valuable parts of the medical record and figure out if a treating doctor or an expert witness is required as well.
Site Visits & Scene Documentation
When appropriate we make site visits to record the scene and perhaps take measurements. If appropriate, we build the injury location in a 3D environment to better explain why the injured client was acting in a manner any normal person would — as an invitee, patient, or contract worker — and how and why they were injured.
Key Interviews & Depositions
Once we feel we know the case's strengths and weaknesses and are in agreement with the attorney on a strong media approach to demonstrating liability, we conduct and record key client and witness interviews. Often if the case is filed, we will also take advantage of depositions to fill in the liability story — even if they were not originally videotaped.
Scripting & Production Planning
We begin to consider scripting and production of the typical segments: the story of exactly what happened, who the client or client family was before the injury or death and who they are now, and how they have been changed. This may include a Day in the Life segment, a liability narrative with witnesses, documentation that the defendant knew or should have known of the danger, and possibly a Mock News Presentation.
Production & Editing
Once scripting is approved by our attorney partner or partners, we begin production — completing any filming necessary and moving into the editing room where all elements are assembled and graphics, sound design, and music are added to build the final presentation.
Attorney Review & Approvals
Once the rough edit is completed, we move into an approvals process where our attorney partners help to improve the impact the final presentation segments have on defendants, their counsel, and insurers. Every detail is refined to maximize persuasive force at the mediation table.
Final Delivery
With approvals in hand, we complete a final draft of the program segments to be delivered — polished, powerful, and ready to present at mediation.
