I switched to personal injury from ID about 24 weeks ago. Recently, I received my first bonus, but it fell short of $3,000. The bonus was calculated based on a 'settled' amount of $120,000. Interestingly, I have successfully settled cases totaling $500,000, but only $120,000 has been disbursed so far, which explains the lower-than-expected bonus. Is it customary for bonuses to be determined only by settlements that have been disbursed?

Yes disbursed is only what counts but that is terrible comp bonus percentage.

Thank you for the feed back. I have an opportunity to renegotiate. Do you have a suggestion on a fair % with a base pay of $105k? I’m located in Florida.

Yes my firm goes when the case is disbursed
