I'd imagine there's more money potential on the claimant side, though I'd also guess the clientele is a lot more annoying to deal with (I've never done defense work though). Claimants are super needy, and it can be taxing hearing constantly that they're in danger of losing their homes and whatnot when their cases are still probably months away from resolving, so there's little you can do to help.

Yeah, I'm in central Virginia. Firms around here seem to do it one of two ways. They either offer a higher base salary of anywhere from $90k-$125k or so and then they give you a smallish percentage (five or so) of fees you earn. Or they offer a smaller base salary of $75k or so and then have graduated commission percentages as you hit fee thresholds (that can get pretty high, 25 percent plus). Associates with a few years of experience can make $150k or so, and breaking $200k is pretty realistic once you've got a full caseload. The top earners in my firm earn around $200k-$250k in just commissions on their earned fees, and then they get their base salaries and a cut of business they've generated too. Our commission structure is graduated, so less guaranteed money, but tons of potential for the people who really produce.

Yes I’ve been doing WC defense since I passed the bar. Started around 60K.

I think it depends where you are geographically and plaintiff/defense side is pretty relevant too.

I was in a middle size market

I started on the defense side - in 2012 base was 70k bonus the first few years based on hrs billed came out to about 25-30k

Now on claimant side - 150k base but “bonus” the last 2 years has been between 100-200k

For anyone who receives a quarterly bonus or raise in some form, does your employer start to schedule you for less hours when your raise kicks in, or pull you from a future schedule entirely once you receive a bonus; only to put you back on once the hours you would have worked and earned the amount given are passed? Ie; a part time employee getting $200.00 in a quarterly bonus and then not being scheduled a whole week during a bi-weekly pay period where they would have earned more on the clock…?
