I don't see how anyone in litigation could retain a desire to continue that work. First, no one goes into it for any reason but money, as it's an awfully annoying way to make a living. Second, it's random. The first time I won a seven figure settlement by bluffing with a truly dubious claim, I felt the whole profession was a joke. Then it happened a few more times. And while this happened, I saw clients who had really strong cases lose.

Life is largely random and much of it is luck, but a system where winning or losing, or getting a small or draconian sentence can often depend on a judge's mood, or some quirk of timing, is not one in which "God's work" is performed.
This is why subrogation is great. No emotions. Known damages (mostly property and BI). No hourly billing. But like PI, you have to get the right cases.


It's not actually great. But it isn't terrible. I don't hate it?
