Quickly. The more time spent, the less money that 8k represents. Don't waste money on experts, etc. Get the records and try to settle pre lit. Hell get the clients to get the records of you want to min/max it.

Yep. I agree with this. Our office has paralegals handle these because the goal is just to settle it.

I agree with the other posters. I work in NJ and regularly see $15k policies. We try to quickly get the med recs and settle ASAP. If we can’t, always try not to put in suit as you will spend more in costs than what it is worth.

Definitely work towards a settlement. There is no other way to go if you want to profit.

Only advice is “maximize and resolve” as quickly as possibleWe have a former adjuster that handles these cases. He gets them done in less than a year.

Hey folks, need some help. I cleared all my interview rounds and had completed the documentation too. However for more than two weeks the status on the portal is "offer initiated". The HR says the delay is happening because the people who need to approve are on leave. Are they playing around or keeping on hold? Do they actually release offer after this much delay? Please share if you know anything about it.

I received a job offer from a PI firm (MVA and tractor trailer cases) in Houston, Texas; the bonus proposed was 2.5% of attorney’s fees for any cases settled each quarter. We are assigned 50 cases a quarter and the top attorney clears $25K each quarter. This is my first time working at a PI firm. Can anyone share any guidance? Is 2.5% industry standard? Is it realistic to settle/resolve that many cases? I am trying to learn more about this niche before I counter-offer and attempt to negotiate.
