Personal injury case manager/legal assistant

About The Role

Our personal injury firm is growing, and we're looking for an organized, detail-oriented Legal Assistant to support our attorneys and paralegal team. We manage a high-volume caseload and this role is essential to keeping cases moving smoothly — so our attorneys can stay focused on legal strategy and client advocacy rather than administrative work. This is a great opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys keeping things organized, and wants to be a key part of a team that fights for injured clients every day.

What You'll Do

• Open, organize, and maintain client case files (physical and electronic)
• Request and track medical records, bills, and other case documentation from providers
• Communicate with clients, medical providers and insurance adjusters to gather information and provide case updates
• Schedule and manage calendar deadlines, statutes of limitations, and appointments
• Support attorneys and the paralegal team with case preparation and administrative tasks
• Answer phones, manage client intake documentation, and help maintain case management software

What We're Looking For

• A minimum of 1 year of prior experience in a law firm setting; personal injury experience strongly preferred
• Excellent organizational skills and close attention to detail
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to manage multiple deadlines and prioritize in a high-volume environment
• Comfortable with case management software, Microsoft Office, and general office technology
• A professional, empathetic manner when working with clients who have experienced injury or loss
• A self-starter who can work independently while being a reliable team player
• Familiarity with medical record terminology and records requests

Nice to Have

• Bilingual (Spanish/English) a plus
