I started out doing ID for an insurance carrier, went plaintiff for 3 years, and am now back to a carrier (I have never worked at a private ID firm billing, and never will). I make more money now with a lot less headaches, no billable hours, and fully remote. Technically there is no ceiling as a plaintiff attorney if you bring in your own cases, but it can be a pretty miserable day to day experience busting your ass and making someone else money. I would only go back plaintiff side if I was presented with a crazy compensation package or if I went out on my own. It’s just too cushy as a 6th year attorney being fully remote, making $200k, and working maybe 30 hours a week
Pretty easy. Look for in house jobs with the big carriers like Progressive or State Farm, whoever has the best work life balance
Easy. I did it!
I went from PI to ID at a reputable regional firm.
Extremely easy to get in the door.
I love it - even with the billing that can take some time to figure out - but I found the right fit for me.
I have no billable hour requirement, unlimited PTO that we all take full advantage of, no micromanaging, and I negotiated a decent salary (now at $130 with at least $10K bonus). Because I work for large insurance companies I know I can go in house virtually whenever I feel the time is right.
Obviously I could have likely made more at my PI firm via bonuses but it was insane over there. I’m FAR happier.
Is the pay better? I would think pltf is more lucrative.
It’s not too bad if you have the right training. Figuring out billing is the hardest part
What about the other way around? Carrier to plaintiff?
I know someone who used to be an adjuster and she was able to switch no problem. Her insight from a carrier perspective was valuable to the firm.
Coach
Not hard I would imagine
