Having been an accident victim herself, she realized early in life that her calling was to be a lawyer so she could help people who had been injured through no fault of their own. As a result of her suffering from her own personal injury, Ms. Thurman is able to deeply empathize with her injured clients which compels her desire to help them and drives her to fight aggressively for them, ensuring that each one receives her undivided, dedicated attention until she gets them compensated for the full amount their claim deserves.
