1st Party vs 3rd Party? Any attorneys handled both case types? Specifically, roof damages against home owners insurance vs. motor vehicle accidents; curious to learn the major differences and whether you prefer one over the other.

I used to do PI third party (car accidents/slip and fall) and now doing first party property for one specific insurance company. It's easyish work, but this carrier can be very demanding and their adjusters kind of nuts. I'm often getting harassed and berated at times by the adjusters which is not fun. PI is more complex as there's Medicals and none of that in first party property. First party property is very litigious and higher case loads
