NOW HIRING

Bad Faith Insurance Litigation Attorney

The Opportunity

Patrick Daniel Law—a nationally recognized boutique plaintiff’s personal injury firm headquartered in Houston, Texas—is seeking a motivated and talented Bad Faith Insurance Litigation Attorney to join our trial team. This is a unique opportunity to build and manage a dedicated bad faith insurance docket within a firm that has an established track record of taking on the nation’s largest corporations and insurers—and winning.

The ideal candidate is a sharp, aggressive litigator who is passionate about policyholder rights and relishes the challenge of holding insurance companies accountable when they deny, delay, or undervalue legitimate claims. You will work alongside a team of seasoned trial attorneys in a collaborative, family-oriented environment where every team member is valued, every client is treated like family, and every case is prepared for trial.

Key Responsibilities

• Investigate, evaluate, and prosecute first-party and third-party bad faith insurance claims on behalf of policyholders from inception through trial and appeal
• Identify and develop bad faith insurance components embedded within the firm’s existing catastrophic personal injury, products liability, and trucking litigation docket
• Conduct in-depth analysis of insurance policies, coverage disputes, claims handling practices, and insurer conduct to build compelling bad faith cases
• Draft and argue complex motions, pleadings, discovery requests, depositions, pre-trial memoranda, and appellate briefs in state and federal courts nationwide
• Take and defend depositions of corporate representatives, claims adjusters, underwriters, and expert witnesses
• Develop and execute litigation strategy, including extra-contractual and statutory bad faith theories, Stowers demands (Texas), and analogous frameworks in other jurisdictions
• Pursue all available remedies including policy benefits, consequential damages, statutory penalties, punitive damages, and attorney’s fees
• Collaborate closely with the firm’s personal injury trial team to maximize client recovery by layering bad faith claims onto underlying tort cases
• Stay current on developments in insurance bad faith law, regulatory changes, and emerging trends across multiple jurisdictions
• Maintain direct, compassionate communication with clients and uphold the firm’s “DanFam” standard of client care

Qualifications

Required

• Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an ABA-accredited law school
• Active bar license in good standing in Texas (additional state licensure a significant plus; the firm is also licensed in Louisiana and Wisconsin)
• Minimum 3 years of civil litigation experience with meaningful exposure to insurance coverage, bad faith, or insurance defense matters
• Demonstrated ability to manage a litigation caseload independently from intake through trial
• Strong legal research, writing, and oral advocacy skills
• Federal court experience, including familiarity with removal, multidistrict litigation (MDL), and federal procedural rules
• A passion for plaintiff’s advocacy and a commitment to holding insurers accountable

Preferred

• Prior experience representing plaintiffs or policyholders in bad faith insurance litigation
• Working knowledge of the Texas Insurance Code (Chapters 541 and 542), Stowers Doctrine, ERISA preemption issues, and analogous bad faith statutes in other states
• Experience with catastrophic injury cases, products liability, trucking litigation, or maritime law
• Deposition and trial experience (first-chair preferred)
• Existing relationships with bad faith insurance experts, public adjusters, or policyholder advocacy organizations
• Admission or willingness to seek admission in multiple state and federal jurisdictions

Compensation & Benefits

Patrick Daniel Law offers a competitive and entrepreneurial compensation structure designed to reward results:

Benefits package includes:

• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Paid time off (PTO) and paid holidays
• Continuing legal education (CLE) allowance and bar dues paid by the firm
• Professional development support, including trial advocacy training and conference attendance
• Firm-sponsored membership in professional organizations (e.g., AAJ, state trial lawyer associations)
• Modern office space in Houston’s Galleria area (4801 Woodway Drive, Suite 440-W)
• Collaborative, team-oriented work environment with direct mentorship from the firm’s founder and managing partner
