Job Description

We are looking for a new team member to begin working full-time for our growing plaintiffs’ personal injury law firm. As a pre-litigation paralegal, the core of the job requires keeping clients up to date on their case, hearing their concerns, being a liaison between the client and the Team's attorney, and helping solve problems that may arise prior to litigation. Duties also include setting up the client's file, collecting evidence like medical records and incident reports, assisting in getting clients to good doctors when required, and drafting and sending settlement demands to insurance companies to try and reach a settlement when possible without the need to file a lawsuit. The right candidate will work within a team of one associate lawyer, a litigation paralegal, and a legal assistant. We are a collaborative firm, but still value self-starters. A willingness to learn and use the systems in place at our firm - rather than doing things based on prior experience - is important. However, we value everyone's input at the firm and routinely make changes to systems based on the experience or varied opinions of our whole team. We utilize FileVine as our case management system and implement various software automations to streamline our team's workflow. As a largely paperless firm, our pre-litigation paralegals can handle most, if not all, of their responsibilities remotely. However, we prefer our team to maintain a hybrid presence in the office until they are fully trained and demonstrate their capabilities, after which they have the option to work entirely remotely. Benefits include unlimited paid vacation & sick time, access to 401(k), access to firm health insurance, remote & flexible working schedules, access to a four-day work-week after meeting performance goals, and periodic bonuses. Compensation: $65,000 annually + quarterly performance bonuses Responsibilities:

• Talking with clients.
• Ordering medical records.
• Investigating incidents.
• Ordering investigative documents.
• Drafting letters.
• Speaking & negotiating with insurance adjusters.
• Collecting evidence from clients and third parties.
• Writing settlement demands.
• Redacting medical records.
• Negotiating and notifying subrogation interests.
• Coordinating medical referrals for clients.
• Arranging medical financing for clients.
• Finalizing accounting statements at the case's end.

Qualifications: • Empathy for personal injury victims. About Company: We offer a competitive salary, a comprehensive benefits package, and the opportunity to be a critical part of a young, successful, and growing firm. You will have the autonomy to build and manage our financial systems and make a significant impact on our firm's future. We are a trial-focused firm rather than a settlement mill, and the work we do every day improves folks' individual lives significantly. After a 90-day probationary period, benefits include unlimited paid vacation and sick time, access to 401(k), access to firm health, dental, vision, life, and short- and long-term disability insurances, remote and flexible working schedules, performance-contingent 4-day-work-week, and significant quarterly performance bonuses on top of your salary depending on overall firm performance.
