Ins. defense is no better than plaintiff work
Insurance defense is probably 10% of my work and primarily relates to one specialized insurance company. I rarely handle any liability work and when I do it either settles quickly on account of my client's low litigation risk tolerance or is clearly frivolous and beaten back easily.
What I've seen in my prior work is about 80% dubious 20% legit on the liability front. I've never seen a truly injured person get jacked around in a case I've personally been involved with, but then, I don't consider someone who rear ends someone and has an unfavorable police report with 10k in chiro specials seeking 80k in generals to be "truly injured," either.

Sounds like those victims were getting some poor representation.

I never studied it in law school, but since ive been practicing I really enjoy Disability work. It's nice to help people who really need it, although you'll see plenty of clients who are just lazy and are looking for handout. Plus, it's nice to not have some a-hole opposing counsel trying to ruin your case. And getting that check from Uncle Sam is real nice too.
