We're looking for a Personal Injury Paralegal to support our attorneys across the full life of a case — from intake through settlement. If you know your way around medical records, demand packages, and lien negotiations, and you thrive in a fast-paced environment, this role is for you.

Strong English communication skills and prior U.S. law firm or U.S.-based legal experience are required.

  • Order and track police reports, incident reports, witness statements, and photographs of the scene and property damage
  • Identify all sources of insurance coverage, including liability, UM/UIM, MedPay, and PIP
  • Send letters of representation to carriers and set up claim numbers and adjuster contacts

Medical Records & Damages

  • Request, track, and follow up on medical records and itemized billing from all treating providers
  • Review records for completeness, flag gaps in treatment, and organize them chronologically by provider
  • Build medical chronologies and summaries linking treatment to the incident
  • Calculate and maintain running special damages totals, including medical bills, lost wages, and out-of-pocket expenses
  • Gather wage loss verification from employers

Demand Packages & Negotiation Support

  • Draft demand letters and assemble complete demand packages with supporting exhibits
  • Track demand deadlines, adjuster responses, and offer history
  • Prepare settlement breakdowns and disbursement statements for attorney review
  • Assist with lien identification, verification, and reduction requests from health insurers, Medicare/Medicaid, hospitals, and providers

Litigation Support

  • Draft complaints, summonses, discovery requests and responses, and subpoenas
  • Prepare and organize document productions and respond to written discovery
  • Coordinate depositions, IMEs, and expert scheduling
  • Track statutes of limitations, court dates, and filing deadlines; e-file with state and federal courts as needed

Client Communication

  • Provide regular case status updates and set clear expectations on timelines
  • Follow up on treatment status, missed appointments, and requested documentation
  • Maintain clear, professional, and empathetic communication with clients who are often in pain or under financial stress

What We're Looking For

Mandatory: Experience working in a U.S. law firm or U.S.-based legal company, specifically on personal injury matters.

  • At least 1 year of experience as a personal injury paralegal in a U.S. law firm or U.S.-based company

  • Fluent in both English and Spanish (C1 level or higher in English)

  • Working knowledge of the personal injury case lifecycle, from intake through settlement or trial
  • Familiarity with medical terminology and common injury types (soft tissue, orthopedic, TBI)
  • Understanding of liens and subrogation, including Medicare/Medicaid
  • Experience with legal case management software (Filevine, Litify, CasePeer, Smart Advocate, Clio, or similar)
  • Strong organizational skills and a keen attention to detail
  • Availability to work during US business hours

Nice to have: Experience with pre-litigation and litigation files, e-filing, medical record retrieval platforms, or specific state PI rules (FL, TX, CA, NY, GA).
