They can be the lowest paid or the highest paid attorneys.

Lol. So does a lot of your business come from the OT? You seem to be white knighting for the purity of the plaintiff bar pretty hard there.

I just Googled Chiropractic Insurance Fraud Louisiana. I found 2 cases involving fraud by billing health insurance for services never performed. I found no cases involving treating people who were not injured.
Fail.
Fail.

I’ll tell you right now I’ve had several cases where people claimed to be passengers in vehicle involved in accidents, went to doctors on atty referral and then it came out that they were not in the vehicle. So how do we explain those meds which “casually relate to the MVA”? Stop drinking that LA Assoc. Of Justice Koolaid.

As an insurance adjuster for one of the big insurance companies I can personally attest to the pieces of shite the personal injury attorneys are. The scum of society. Many of them will take whatever person walks through their door who has police report showing they were not at fault for a motor vehicle accident. They could give a shite less whether someone is injured or not.
The medical provider fraud is a real thing as well. An entire division of the company is devoted just to root out fraud. Many of them involving medical providers billing for services that were never performed. 99% of the time the claimants were referred there by the PI attorney

Look, I never said there weren't lying plaintiffs or rotten lawyers out there. My bitch is when people say "all" or "most" which is hyperbole/lie/propaganda.
If I find any liars among my clients, they are shown the door and told never to return.
And I tell everyone who will listen NEVER hire a billboard/T.V. lawyer.

And there are those that believe that lying, cheating insurance adjusters are the scum of society. So there you go...and don't tell me there are no such adjusters out there.

This I can agree with. Personally I believe it should be illegal for them to advertise at all. There are those cases that warrant attorney representation. Coverages and liability can be a lot for the average person to try and handle on their own. However, the vast majority of attorney repped cases are complete bull shite and are the driving force behind rising premiums for auto insurance.
Currently for our company, Louisiana ranks 2nd in highest attorney rep rate of claimants. That is directly reflected in the premiums charged

Double billing chiropractors are the best. Then there are the “block shops” who just run plaintiffs through injections at $12-$15K a pop (physician, anesthesia and surgical hospital charges) just to run the numbers up for their atty referrers. Oh, your client got a surgical recommendation? Great call me when they have the surgery and we’ll talk. Virtually every case there is a surgical “recommendation” or they are a “surgical candidate”. Yea, we are are “surgical candidates”. Its such a joke. There are many doctors in this area whose practicies are almost exclusively dedicated to litigation patients. You know who they are.
Also, you would not believe the number of people who light their stuff on fire in this state.

Attorney advertising used to be outlawed by the Supreme Court in LA.
Unfortunately, the SCOTUS ruled about 30 years ago that these prohibitions violated lawyers' First Amendment rights.

The owners of the PI mills do well. Your average associate at those firms probably doesn't make more than $50k per year.
Well that’s not true.

Your solo practitioners do better than that, but the hours are worse than restauranteurs unless you have the world's greatest paralegal.
They sometimes do better but if they find a good niche and aren’t shitty lawyers.
The bottom line is it’s impossible to make a general statement about how much “personal injury attorneys” make.

Oh in Louisiana? My bad I didn't see that part.

In South Carolina it is. I have several friends who work for PI mills here and they're all salaried. It makes sense from the managing partner's perspective because, if they were paid strictly commissions, the percentages earned by associates from settlements would be greater than the salaries they make, especially when you factor in the volume of business these firms bring in. There's a reason these firms here have huge turnover with associates and it's because the pay is garbage, especially when you consider hours worked and the stress of the job.

You're JAG now yeah? Good if so.
These "law is life" douches are the worst. It's a fricking job, it's not a moral obligation to the universe. You're not an advocate for righteousness, you're someone making a career out of managing someone's conflict/misfortune.

The 50/60 year old guys they send in to tell us about how much they miss law school and how much they love practicing are depressing

3 out of 4 kids in my law school class were some of the biggest douchebags I've ever met. The other 1 in 4 were some of the best.
