In the process of exploring options to go from in-house to plaintiff's firm. I'm giving up a lot in benefits, but salary potential seems better and work/life balance looked to be better given toxic industry currently. Anyone else make this change? Did you realize the income potential you thought you would?

Are you in-house for a carrier? WLB is going to be firm dependent and what role you have at the PI firm, how much staff support you have, and just firm culture to name a few. I had more flexibility in-house because I worked from home and had full autonomy of my calendar. I don’t have that level of flexibility doing plaintiffs’ PI.

I currently work at a small PI firm in Atlanta were EVERYTHING is settled presuit. If we’re unable to settle, then it’s referred to another firm for litigation. This whole process seems very atypical to me and the attorneys rarely touch a file until the first liability offer is received. The paralegals handle everything from intake to drafting the demands. The attorney briefly skims (does NOT read) the demand packages and signs. Is this ethical?? Anyone else work at a firm that is run this way??
