What’s a reasonable number of insurance defense files (mix of auto, trucking, premises, nursing home, med mal, wrongful death)? I have about sixty currently

30-40 active files would be normal. If all 60 of yours are in active litigation probably too many.

I agree, 30-40

Very case dependent but I usually try to max out at 30ish cases but my rule is if you HAVE to bill more than 9 hours a day for a week you need help.

Yeah, I agree with the numbers that are being put up on this post. I run about 40 to 50 files at a time. But it also depends on how large the files are. If you have multiple car accidents where the plaintiff has significant injuries, then, that number might be a little too high.

That sounds so high, especially since you have some trucking, med mal and nursing home cases mixed in. In my state, a single trucking case is like 1.5—2 cases because the insurer and motor carrier are also sued (triple answers, discovery responses and more depos).

I work in insurance. I was working for an Allstate agent and was fired the day after my grandmothers funeral for being “unenthusiastic in our morning meeting”.

Has anyone else felt this way? How did handle it? Is there a different career path I can take or am I destined to sell insurance forever?

It can be impossible to deal with financial losses due to declining health or unforeseen circumstances by not having life insurance. In these cases, the solution to your debts (that can affect the financial stability of you or your loved ones) may fall within the category of life insurance.

Riddle me this Batman: Im told that I can bill X amount for X task but no more, or warned that I may not plan and prepare for certain things even though I do (lost time) Exhibit A: Can’t bill to plan and prepare a motion or pleading, plus bill for the drafting of the document. Seems not grounded in reality to me.
