Court just ordered a hearing on the motion for sanctions and is requiring the mobile claims specialist and the original claims specialist to be there in person. This is actually growing into a bigger deal because it’s going from them wanting to get repaid for mediation they didn’t want to be at to setting precedent requiring getting claims reps from across the country to travel for required in person appearances or having claims specialists in every state and only working those states.

That sounds like an absolute abuse of judicial power. The court should allow the claims rep to appear remotely knowing they are out of state. I would send an email to the department and let them know the claims rep does not reside in that city, and would prefer to appear remotely.

We’re considering a motion for the court to reconsider the setting of the hearing and requiring the regular claim rep to be there and having to travel (which he is going on medical leave until after the trial as it is currently set).

Also we’re considering a counter motion for sanctions for abuse of the use of sanctions.

Also the whole motion for sanctions is a red herring because plaintiff is really just mad that we asked the court to order mediation and it was granted over their objection.

Also, they basically allege in their motion that he picked up some hobo off the street and said he was an insurance company employee when he’s been a mobile claim rep for years and the more senior plaintiffs counsel has attended mediations and trials work said mobile claim rep.

Received a job offer. Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a concern I had about it. It's an entry level position, and I don't have much experience. The billables are 2040 a year. For billable hours in civil litigation and insurance defense, is 2040 hours for a 1st year associate on the high end in this field for a small or midsize firm? It seems like most attorneys I know have minimum requirements of around 1800. The compensation is around 80k a year.

I work in insurance. I was working for an Allstate agent and was fired the day after my grandmothers funeral for being “unenthusiastic in our morning meeting”. Now I’m having anxiety searching for a job. I don’t think I want to sell anymore yet every single recruiter I interview with says I should, that I have a “salesperson mentality”. I’m burnt out. Has anyone else felt this way? How did handle it? Is there a different career path I can take or am I destined to sell insurance forever?
