How much will the job market in Florida change (both on the defense and plaintiff side) once the consequences of tort reform come to fruition?

The consequences of the recent tort reform are never going to come to fruition in a way that actually impacts volume or the market. Florida is and always will be a litigation hotbed bought and sold by billboard bros like Morgan and Newlin. There has actually be an uptick in litigation since the bill passed, not a slowdown. This is the same as more comprehensive reform in areas like med mal decades ago that has done very little to curb claims against doctors.

Whether plaintiff or defense side, I don’t think there will ever be job security concerns for civil and PI litigators in this sue-happy state.

What's your view?

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.

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?
