Any job portal recommended for onsite opportunities??

Medical bills exceed the policy. We found out at-fault party has equity in his home. Do we do a policy limits demand wherein we ask for a contribution as a requisite to our acceptance of the policy limits or a regular demand and wait for the insurance company to extend the policy and thereafter ask for a contribution?

Any single ladies looking for a handsome cub? 😉😘 DM 28AZ

So I have good relationships with all my straight guy friends and we all take trips together and are platonic. Recently found out one of my guy friends is secretly questioning himself and has started to make weird sexual tension between us when we’re drinking. In my drunken stupor, I entertain him cuz objectively, he’s really really hot but in reality, I wanna shut it down cuz I’ve had bad experiences with hooking up with “straight” guy friends. Any way to diffuse/deflect this before escalating?

What’s a good bar where a single lesbian can mingle with other queer ladies?

One of my queries is regarding the Medical Insurance. As per the offer letter it mentions "Mediclaim Scheme with Floater Option of Self + 3 or Self + 5 with/without parents. " : INR. 150,000/- to INR. 3,000,000/- 
Does this mean that without paying extra, the med insurance is just 1.5L?

NYC-area PI lawyers, who do you think is the best plaintiff-side lawyer or firm in the area? Who would you want to handle a major PI or product case for a friend? (Assuming, of course, that you couldn't handle it yourself.)

1st trial (1st yr lawyer) and no one’s overseeing me. What is the average number of Motions in Limine to file? (Defending employer-entity and the part-owner/alleged harasser on hostile work environment-sexual harassment case)

You are a young lawyer who wants to gain as much practical litigation skills and trial experience as possible in PI.

For your first couple of years, do you join a general high volume PI firm doing car wrecks, slip and falls, 18 wheeler, etc. OR do you find a more specialized smaller volume firm focusing on med mal, products, offshore injuries, or more complex areas of PI?

Do you start out general and then slowly specialize or just specialize from the get go?

Anyone in SoCal have any opinions about Berman, Berman, Berman, Schneider and Lowary? Have them on a case but don’t know much about them.

Do enjoy being a PI lawyer? I'm thinking about a change. Is it stressful? Rewarding?

A couple of weeks ago I filed a default package, asking for 60k. Mind you, to get to this point, complaint was never answered, statement of damages was served, heard nothing, request for entry of default filed and served, heard nothing. But now, out of the blue, my firm gets a call from defendant’s attorney, asking us to stip to put aside default. Thoughts on how to proceed.... do I agree to stip? Or do I tell them to shove it just like they did to my clients complaint?

I accepted a base salary of $60k as a first year associate and to expect an end of year bonus based on the settlement of my partner’s cases that I work on substantially. The bonus was only $2500 and I got a base pay raise that still doesn’t bring me into the lower 25% of the market rate. Feeling really undervalued and not sure if this is normal in “plaintiffs world”

I've been in practice for about a year at a high stakes plaintiffs litigation firm. I make $85/year, I'm in the office at 8 and leave around 5:30. I work occasionally on Saturdays. When we have something big coming up, I stay extra to get it done in time. I've never missed a deadline.

I had a meeting this week where the partners told me they questioned my commitment because they were working more hours than me.

Am I the problem here and should work more, or is it time to find a new job?

Is paying for Martindale-Hubble leads worth it for personal injury?

Client involved in MVA, can’t drive for Uber or Lyft for 2.5-3 weeks, vehicle owned by Client, so rental only given in his name, 3P suggesting Client cant claim LWs because his wife should’ve illegally taken the rental to work and/or he shouldve driven her to work and then used her car to work for those 2.5-3 weeks, thoughts? He couldn't have used the rental either and his account was suspended under his vehicle. Also, Client purchased new vehicle sooner to RTW sooner as parts were backordered.

Any tips for transitioning into a new firm? I was with my previous firm for 5 years. Came to a new firm a couple weeks ago, and I’m taking over around 25-30 cases, all in different stages of litigation. Any tips for someone who went through this successfully? It’s tough, between 2 different managing partners who are different but my cases are pretty 50/50 between them. My previous firm I had far fewer cases.

Does anyone have any tips/resources on how to take a deposition? I’m taking my first deposition in a couple of months and I’m pretty anxious about it. I’ve been practicing for 5+ years, but haven’t done a depo yet…

I’ve done PI work my entire career for over 10 years. I’ve worked in state and federal courts and I’ve traveled around the country doing MDL work and bellwether trials. I’ve had a lot of success making the idiots I’ve worked for wealthy, but I’m still waiting for a moment where I enjoy what I’m doing. I feel stuck working in dysfunctional plaintiff firms/cultures. I hate this profession/career more and more each year. Has anybody been successful breaking off on their own in recent years? Advice?

Can anyone advise what their ballpark startup costs were, how long it took to get “afloat” with clients, and anything you wish you knew before hanging a shingle?

Settled a case at presuit mediation. Payment was to be made within 21 days. We are now over 30 days out, and all OC will tell me is that he requested the settlement draft and will let me know when it arrives. At what point do I file a complaint to enforce the settlement (and to seek fees and costs)?

Anyone work for Morgan & Morgan? Do you know if they allow you to work remotely/hybrid? I’d like to apply with them but the closest office is an hour away and I don’t want that commute. I have a young child.

My mother was in a collision. Other driver admitted fault. Her vehicle needed and entirely new frame. She lost 9 days of work. She is treating with chiro on lean. She has not spoken to the other drivers insurance at all. Chiro said they will tell me when she is “done” treating. At what point should I reach out to the other insurance’s adjuster? And what should I say other than she is still treating?

I've been having an interesting debate and convo with some attorney friends. Which PI cases do you feel are your favorite to take on, or easiest for you?
