What makes a good product liability lawyer?

Successful product liability lawyers possess an exceptional set of skills. Not only do they have to be able to sit for hours to decipher extremely technical documents but they also have to deal with clients suffering life changing injuries or grieving over a loved one who wrongfully died, most of the time in dramatic manner. They also need to juggle tight deadlines, keep their calm and always be courteous with all parties involved.

Being able to deal with serious injury and death
Being patient
Being able to work harmoniously with multiple parties
Being on the top of the news in the product liability landscape
