For some people, sure. I have friends who’ve climbed to the top, have their own firms, and are able to kick back and work normal work weeks now with younger attorneys doing the grunt work.
Conversely, others will burn out before they get to that point.
If you have the drive to launch your own firm and the stomach for the injuries and empathy for the clients, stick it out. If you’re just wanting to service someone else’s book, I wouldn’t look to stay in PI. I left PI defense for similar reasons
It’s only sustainable if the money is good. Are you getting a share of the settlements? If not, then no. I handle ID, but I remember the clients were a pain on the Plaintiff side.
Any tips for which type of GC jobs to look for? Or how to make personal injury more transferable to in house jobs? I’m of a similar mindset and starting to think what I can do now to be in a good position for that in a few more years. Other forums on here are not encouraging of success in going from PI litigation to in house.
You have to be a venture capitalist to an extent and have a ton of liquidity to build up the fat cases. When they’re ready to settle or trial, you slaughter the pig.

Yes it definitely is a sustainable career. The attorney I work for makes such great money that he actually ends up referring a lot of cases to his buddies. He takes the really big cases and then refers the smaller ones out. I think eventually you get to that poit where you can pick and choose what cases to take.
