3rd year pi associate here: does anyone else experience nightmares and occasional anxiety attacks from their more brutal cases?
I’ve handled some fatalities and catastrophic injuries, and was doing well to compartmentalize the gruesome input as “work stuff” so as not to internalize it. But lately getting to know the clients, reviewing HWY fatality packets & collecting pictures of mangled bodies- dead & alive-has me waking up in a panic sometimes.

Open to suggestions or at least validation😅

Husband and I have been TTC for almost a year. His semen analysis came back all normal with the exception of morphology at 1% (Kruger Strict criteria). Anyone have insights into morphology and it’s impacts on fertility? From what I’ve read and after talking to our fertility specialist morphology seems subjective.

Anyone know a Connecticut or 2nd circuit case for this rule? I can’t find one to save my life. A defendant generally is liable for all harmful results that are the normal incidents of and within the increased risk caused by their negligent acts.

Definitely going to be a noobie question!

Hi everyone - I'm contemplating an offer from a large PI firm. I'm a little more than halfway through completing my 2nd year of practice, and I'm currently at a small firm with a low salary that's just no longer cutting it.

Any insight is appreciated, thank you!!

Does anyone like ID work? Currently doing work at a PI/Medmal plaintiffs firm while in school and trying to figure out where I’ll be happiest post-grad. I LOVE it, but don’t know if ID will provide more security. For context, I had a, albeit, short career prior to law school and will 30 when I graduate in May.
