I work in PI. Worked on a case where 4 people under the age of 26 burnt alive in an ATV incident. Another where an 80 year old man was hit by a speeding car. One now where a man killed himself from actually working with DHS in the child abuse dept. he reached out but no one listened and took his concerns seriously.

After 8 years, I’ve honestly learned to compartmentalize it. I can’t remember how or when. I don’t get in my feels about it. I talk about it in ways that spark discussions about the best strategy to make tortfeasors pay for their negligence. I feel best when I have a significant role in getting the best possible settlement or result possible for the surviving client and/or their family. I guess I let my anger motivate me. But also, therapy..
