I left PI for that very reason. I was at a mill firm where I had 400 cases in pre lit , and 40-60 cases in lit at any given time. Handling litigation , and also handling pre litigation was exhausting. I was also tired of the angry client not receiving their money. I’m on the defense side now, and I find my work life balance to be a lot better.
Absolutely
Are you me?
Caseloads at our firm stay under 275, and pre lit attorneys only have pre lit cases and lit attorneys have lit cases (around 60) for caseloads, everyone has a work life balance, lit attorneys busier when trials come up, but we’ve had the same crew for 3 years and we’re adding more, we also have 90 employees total and tons of support staff

I like PI but I think some firns don't know how to manage their cases. They either sign up whatever comes their way or don't hire enough people.
This was exactly the problem at my old firm. A combo of both over-signing and under-hiring worsened by underpaying employees causing severe turnover. I ended up leaving and starting my own firm.
I worked at a plaintiff mill and had 350 cases at one point. I left to go work in-house with an insurance carrier. I don’t bill my time and I actually make more money than I was making previously. I certainly have a ceiling now as opposed to plaintiff side where I could bring in cases and get paid well on them, but my day to day is a lot easier (along with being full remote). I would only go back plaintiff side if I went solo or if I worked at a boutique handling a small caseload with high value cases.
This is crazy! I’m at a small general practice firm with about 50% PI and I only have about 15 PI cases at one time. And I make a good living. Consider hanging out a shingle or joining a small firm if you like PI but the volume is too much.
The attorney I work for has gotten to a point where he really only takes the big cases and refers out all the smaller ones. Actually genius when you think about it because he is still getting a percentage of the settlements for referring the cases out and he doesn't have to work as many hours now that he has scaled back a bit.
May need to switch firms. I've only have worked for firms that can balance work life.
