What is insurance litigation?

Insurance litigation refers to legal disputes between policyholders and insurance companies regarding coverage, claims, or the interpretation of policy terms. These cases often arise when an insurer denies a claim or when there is disagreement over the amount to be paid out. Attorneys specializing in insurance litigation represent clients in court or through negotiations to resolve these disputes and ensure fair treatment under the insurance policy.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in insurance litigation?

To thrive in Insurance Litigation, you need a solid grounding in legal research, case analysis, and insurance law, typically supported by a law degree and bar admission. Familiarity with legal research databases like Westlaw or LexisNexis, as well as case management software, is commonly required. Strong negotiation, analytical thinking, and written and verbal communication skills help you effectively advocate for clients and manage complex cases. These abilities are crucial for navigating intricate legal disputes, ensuring favorable outcomes, and maintaining client trust in high-stakes insurance matters.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals working in insurance litigation, and how can they be managed?

Professionals in insurance litigation often encounter challenges such as managing large volumes of complex documentation, tight court deadlines, and dealing with emotionally charged clients or opposing parties. Staying organized and developing strong time management skills are essential for handling multiple cases simultaneously. Additionally, effective communication with clients, colleagues, and opposing counsel can help mitigate misunderstandings and ensure the litigation process moves forward smoothly. Regular collaboration with claims adjusters, experts, and other legal professionals is also crucial for building strong cases and achieving successful outcomes.

What is the difference between Insurance Litigation vs Insurance Claims Adjuster?

AspectInsurance LitigationInsurance Claims Adjuster
Required CredentialsLegal education, bar admission, possibly paralegal certificationHigh school diploma or equivalent, sometimes insurance licensing
Work EnvironmentLaw firms, insurance companies' legal departments, courtsInsurance companies, claims offices, field work
Industry UsageLegal disputes, court cases, negotiationsEvaluating claims, settling insurance payouts

Insurance Litigation involves handling legal disputes related to insurance claims, requiring legal expertise and courtroom experience. In contrast, Insurance Claims Adjusters focus on assessing and settling claims directly with policyholders, often working in the field or claims offices. Both roles are essential in the insurance industry but differ significantly in responsibilities, credentials, and work environment.

Job description

Weโ€™re growing. Smith Osburn Cross is a Fort Worth insurance defense firm looking for a litigation associate who wants to actually try cases. No minimum billable requirement, no bureaucracy, no committees โ€” just hands-on work with a small team that backs each other up.

Role Overview
  • Position: Insurance Litigation Associate Attorney
  • Location: 100% remote; must reside in Texas. Primarily work from home, with travel for court appearances, depositions, and mediations, principally in the Dallasโ€“Fort Worth and Houston areas.
  • Practice Area: Insurance defense litigation โ€” (auto, premises liability, and first-party coverage matters)
  • Firm Size: Small and close-knit
  • Compensation: $100,000 โ€“ $120,000, depending on experience
  • Billable Requirement: None. We do not set a minimum billable hour target.
About the Firm

Smith Osburn Cross is a Fort Worth litigation firm representing insurers and their insureds throughout Texas. Our cases are staffed leanly and tried when they need to be tried, which means our associates carry real responsibility on their own files instead of writing research memos for someone elseโ€™s case.

Whether the client is an entity or an individual, and whether the issue is simple or complex, our attorneys and staff give it focused, personal attention. We stress prompt, clear client communication, and we work as a team โ€” with each other and with our clients.

What Youโ€™ll Do
  • Manage your own cases from intake through resolution.
  • Take and defend depositions; represent clients at mediation.
  • Prepare for and try cases, (second-chairing at first and moving to first chair as youโ€™re ready).
  • Draft and argue pleadings, motions, and discovery.
  • Keep clients and internal team members promptly and clearly informed.
Compensation & Benefits
  • Salary of $100,000 โ€“ $120,000, depending on experience
  • No minimum billable hour requirement
  • Health insurance (with the firm paying 100% of employee premiums)
  • Firm-matched SIMPLE IRA up to 3%
  • Firm-paid life and disability insurance
  • Paid time off, plus firm holidays
  • State bar dues, CLE, and professional liability coverage paid by the firm
  • Home office equipment and technology provided
  • Discretionary annual bonus

Smith Osburn Cross is an equal opportunity employer. We consider all qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.

  • Active Texas bar license in good standing.
  • (3โ€“7) years of Texas civil litigation experience, including (at least one trial as first or second chair).
  • Comfort running your own docket โ€” youโ€™ll have support, but not supervision over your shoulder.
  • The self-discipline to work well remotely while staying genuinely connected to a small team.
  • Willingness to travel within Texas for in-person court appearances, depositions, and mediations as cases require.
