When an injury happens at a franchise, do you always include the franchisor in addition to the LLC that owns the location when sending a demand letter? If it’s a very large corporation (say a hotel chain), how do you choose which corporate entity to name?

India travel - anyone had or heard of issues flying into New Delhi airport from outside India? Thanks

Is anyone else concerned about the direction the automotive world is heading in, and the overall bigger impact to society when no one can afford to own/have a car? I feel like there’s a perfect storm brewing and with the help of Covid and chip shortages and senseless forced adoption of EVs, in a few years common ppl won’t be able to afford a car and even those in upper income classes will be hard pressed. And when people can’t travel freely on their own, that will have downstream FX on society

Hi Fishes,
What is the hiring procedure in delta airlines for senior Software Engineer?

I had an international trip planned in April that I postponed, but I still wanna take it this summer. Do you think it’s a bad look to travel even when we’re WFH? With the way they’re talking, we won’t we back in the office until end of summer.

I’m currently at a hospitality design firm in the DC area and while i love working on cool hotel projects, the work culture is toxic. Coworkers all gossip about each other, coworkers pass off blame when things go wrong on a project, and the principal doesn’t do anything about issues. The firm has no structure, workflow, standards, etc. and the company is very cheap and does not invest money into their staff. I make 65k with 4 yr experience. Should i leave?

Question: Does anyone have a partner that insists that you dictate using a dictaphone? I prefer just to type my standard two/three page reports to carrier/client. Wondering if anybody thinks a dictaphone is completely obsolete or if I should make a total effort to just dictate everything. Practice is 90% insurance defense litigation.

Received an offer at an early stage startup. Happy with the salary and equity, but they didn’t give any sort of sign on bonus. Feel I should negotiate but wondering if it’s worth it and how I should go about it. Don’t have another offer in hand so don’t have any real leverage. Whats a reasonable amount to ask for if salary is $70k?

Trying to compare my raise to similar groups. Appreciate any insight those at PwC may have.

Being cooped up for a month is taking its toll on me. I had a hysterectomy at 25, and rely on hormone injections every few months to help maintain, but right now that isn’t considered essential 😔

Thinking of moving from ID to PI because I’ve been doing some PI on the side at my current firm and I love the autonomy and the fact that I make the firm money based on my results and not my hours. Anyone else made this change, and would you recommend it?

Starting my own firm and was wondering what bank is the best for iolta? Also any affordable software, resources, etc that you recommend or don’t recommend for the beginning? Thank you!

Any tips for transitioning into a new firm? I was with my previous firm for 5 years. Came to a new firm a couple weeks ago, and I’m taking over around 25-30 cases, all in different stages of litigation. Any tips for someone who went through this successfully? It’s tough, between 2 different managing partners who are different but my cases are pretty 50/50 between them. My previous firm I had far fewer cases.

Is there anybody out there with kids who maintains a busy litigation practice simultaneously? I know it’s difficult so need to beat a dead horse on that. What I’m asking about are whether there are any methods, tips, strategy, or advice you can provide to balance a busy professional life with kids.

How often should a PI attorney get a raise on base salary if also getting percentage of cases resolved? Would you ask after one year of employment on the anniversary? Wait until end of calendar year? Assume the attorney is already happy with the total compensation as it compares to market.

I am looking into starting my own firm with one other attorney. I have never been a partner or solo so I am trying to figure out best practices right now. I would appreciate any advice on starting up, things to avoid, preferred software, which gods to pray to, etc. The goal is to be virtual and to primarily do PI with a small amount of business services (my current book is mostly business litigation/contacts/outside counsel work).

Thank you all in advance! This is pretty daunting.

Question from a non-PI lawyer, if there is a car accident that causes a major injury or even death to a passenger at the fault of the driver, how far will the civil liability go for the driver? If the driver is an adult, could the plaintiff/their estate go after future earnings? Could they go after the driver’s family for recovery? Or would it just be limited to the insurance policy? Thanks

Currently working in-house 100% remotely. Salary is okay and the workload is relatively simple with the ability to have a flexible schedule (able to do what I want whenever I want throughout the day). I got an offer from a PI firm doing pre-lit. I am aware that I can make more money but am required to hustle throughout the week. Has anyone dealt with choosing a job based on balancing Time/Less Stress vs. Making More Money/Grinding?

My mother was in a collision. Other driver admitted fault. Her vehicle needed and entirely new frame. She lost 9 days of work. She is treating with chiro on lean. She has not spoken to the other drivers insurance at all. Chiro said they will tell me when she is “done” treating. At what point should I reach out to the other insurance’s adjuster? And what should I say other than she is still treating?
