For those of you who have worked both sides of insurance litigation, do you prefer plaintiff or defense?

Both have their pros and cons. Plaintiff work can be mentally/emotionally exhausting because there’s a lot of client hand holding and managing expectations. There’s a lot more at stake when doing plaintiff work since it’s people’s lives you’re dealing with. However, no billable hours is nice and the sky’s the limit as far as earning potential since its contingency.

Insurance defence is less mentally/emotionally exhausting in my opinion. No hand holding. The outcome of the case barely matters. The focus is on billing your hours. It’s steady work that can pay decently well but there’s a cap on your earning potential.

If I had to choose, it would probably be insurance defence for the steady/less emotionally exhausting work.

Should I have been told I get a bonus when I signed on or are they typically a surprise?

It can be impossible to deal with financial losses due to declining health or unforeseen circumstances by not having life insurance. In these cases, the solution to your debts (that can affect the financial stability of you or your loved ones) may fall within the category of life insurance.
