Would working for a very small personal injury firm (think car accidents, minor medmal) for 1L look bad on a resume?
I would get tons of great experience, but I dunno if there is a stigma attached to working in this type of firm.

No why? Look - it's substantive experience and you will be very close with your supervising attorneys.
You might actually figure out something useful in comparison to "doing research" on the Constitutional rights of a meatball.

I really don't think so. Sounds like you would get practical experience and exposure to a firm environment that most of your peers won't have. YourCaptain is right in that a number of your classmates will likely be doing seemingly irrelevant work in areas that they will never again touch. At least you will have something undoubtedly practical to speak of.

me too!! We should start a TLS pool so we can win like those seven people who have to split 200 mil in Albany. I vote that I keep the tickets and collect the money.
OP if you don't want the job, I'll take it. Seriously PM the person's number/email!

Let's hope there is a good multi-million dollar settlement that happens to open and close during this summer!
