Many personal injury cases involve injured clients and there are many emotions involved. It is not only the client who may be emotional but family and friends may also be involved with opinions on the right course of action. To handle these cases, you will need more than your knowledge of the law. You will rely on relationship-building skills, communication, and emotional intelligence. Cases can also be lengthy so you may need excellent organizational skills to follow up during different stages of the case. If you have experience with personal injury, think about what helped you in that situation and include those elements in your answer.

"It seems that personal injury clients are highly emotional - and rightly so. They experienced an injury or wrongdoing that could have devastating effects on their life. They are coming to a personal injury attorney to seek justice. But the attorney should do more than just recite the statute or quote a court case. They have to be a good listener; they listen to not only the facts of the client's case but how the injury has affected the client. And sometimes, the client may not be able to pursue a case against the wrongdoer. Being able to have those conversations while being sensitive to the client's situation is a skill that is critical to practicing in this area of law."
