I have about 115 that are pre-litigation and a handful in litigation.

Having experienced case managers makes this number manageable.

280 cases, with most in litigation. Value ranges from low 5 figures to 7 figures. I have a case manager and three paralegals assigned to my cases, but the case manager isn’t an attorney, and the paralegals do not have any experience. To say I’m drowning would be an understatement, and frankly this is borderline malpractice.

Sounds very familiar. I work with a Senior Associate that carries over 300 cases, I assist with litigation and the legal assistant works on pre-lit. Every Paralegal before me had all our cases mismanaged. Thankfully, they hired me but the culture of taking any cases isn’t always wise. Please DM me if any of your firms are looking for a litigation Paralegal. I am open to relocate. Thank you!

150 in litigation. Mostly MVA's and premise liabilities ranging in 5 to 7 figures. Feel like I'm drowning in quicksand most days

I supervise a team of 5 staff counsel ID attorneys for a large carrier. Caseload management is a big part of my job. We currently have ~650 between us. The general consensus is between 90-110 per person is the sweet spot. Once we get over that number it gets hairy.

I am in defense. 25-35 at any given moment. Vast majority are high exposure NY Labor Law accidents. Also a sprinkling of commercial real estate litigation such as Yellowstone Injunctions.

First party property defense Florida. 50+ caseload

Medical malpractice PI defense in Florida, 50+ cases. I'm very underwater right now.

Plaintiffs PI and med mal in upstate NY. I have about 70 or so. The big advertising firms have different units with different loads. Litigation has less and pre lit xase management has hundreds

Around 20 cases. Med mal defense and all 7+ figure cases and very time consuming. Taking on any more would be malpractice.

I’m also defense and I’m up to 21 cases, but not all PI. I also have construction defect and contractor liability/property damage cases.

50 to 70 usually, but everyone has a paralegal and a law clerk.

Plaintiffs PI attorneys, how many cases on average are you assigned to at any given time?

like

3P Policy Limits: $100k
Liability has been accepted
Property Damage: $10k
Current Medical Bills: $65k
MRI findings (lumbar): 4mm
Client has received 3 injections and a surgery rec for laser discectomy

Sent 2 policy limits demands. Adjuster offered $60k both times because they don’t see a “causal relationship” without offering us any articulated supporting facts.

The insured is a Radiologist, he appears to own a home valued over $2M.

Hello All,
I am finishing up my second year of practice as a lawyer. I transitioned to plaintiffs pi work from a boutique commercial litigation firm. I like the work and not having to bill.

I also take the driver seat for the grunt work on the firms bigger cases which are at or near 7 figure value. I constantly feel (cont.)
