Hearing Representative, Settlements and OSA Workers' Compensation (Hybrid)

About the role

Abramson Labor Group is a California-based firm dedicated to defending employee rights. We provide legal services to protect employees and focus on exclusively handling workers' compensation cases.

Responsibilities

• Prepare and appear: Complete hearing preparation for the upcoming week and appear virtually at all settlement hearings — status conferences, mandatory settlement conferences, lien conferences, and OSA hearings.
• Keep files current: Update each case file before and after every hearing so the record reflects what happened and what comes next.
• Keep clients updated: Reach out to clients before and after hearings, and send required client communications on schedule.
• Resolve OSAs completely: Take Orders Suspending Action from receipt to resolution — compile the file, cure signature/service/lien and adequacy defects, draft the necessary letters and declarations, and follow through until the matter is cleared.
• Negotiate split fees: Handle fee negotiations on cases subbed out to or referred from other firms.
• Communicate internally: Coordinate with attorneys and settlement staff, escalate approvals when needed, and keep everyone aligned on matter status.
• Maintain weekly metrics: Consistently hit weekly hearing-prep, OSA-queue, and client-communication targets.

Qualifications

• Hearing experience in California workers' compensation — you've prepped and appeared at WCAB hearings and are comfortable on the record before a Workers' Compensation Judge.
• Solid working knowledge of workers' compensation practice and WCAB procedure, including OSAs, the C&R/OACR process, and EAMS e-filing.
• Highly organized and able to keep dozens of matters moving without dropping details.
• A strong multitasker who works well under deadlines and shifting priorities.
• Self-motivated and comfortable being held to weekly performance metrics.
• Clear, professional communicator with clients, judges, and internal staff.
• Bilingual English/Spanish is a significant plus given our client base.
• Nice to have: Familiarity with lien resolution, split/referral-fee arrangements, and MSA/Medicare set-aside basics.
• Experience with case-management or workflow systems.

Benefits

• Comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage.
• Paid holidays and flexible time off plans including Unlimited Paid Time Off (PTO).
