Take ownership of high-value personal injury cases while leading a strong pre-litigation team at a growing plaintiff-side firm. We are seeking an experienced Pre-Lit Personal Injury Attorney to oversee complex matters from intake through settlement while providing leadership to Pre-Lit Managers, Case Managers, and support staff. This role requires deep knowledge of medical management, case valuation, liability, treatment strategy, and settlement negotiations, particularly for significant cases valued at $250K and above.

The ideal candidate is an organized, detail-oriented personal injury attorney who can confidently manage a high-volume caseload, lead a team, and communicate with clients with patience and professionalism. They understand the complete lifecycle of a personal injury case and know how to identify issues before they become problems.

Responsibilities

  • Oversee the pre-litigation department, working closely with Pre-Lit Managers, Case Managers, and support staff
  • Manage and provide strategic oversight for approximately 100–120 active, higher-value personal injury cases

  • Review medical records, billing records, police reports, and supporting documentation to ensure cases are progressing appropriately
  • Handle settlement negotiations with insurance carriers and opposing parties
  • Evaluate prospective matters during intake and determine whether cases meet the firm’s standards
  • Monitor statutes of limitations, government claim deadlines, and other critical legal dates
  • Communicate directly with clients regarding treatment, case status, settlement strategy, and next steps
  • Identify matters requiring escalation into formal litigation and coordinate an effective transition
  • Maintain accurate case documentation and ensure compliance with California procedures and internal protocols

Requirements

  • Active California Bar license in good standing with no disciplinary history
  • Ideally 5+ years of plaintiff-side pre-litigation personal injury experience, with exceptional candidates at earlier career stages considered
  • Demonstrated experience managing or overseeing a large caseload, including significant matters valued at $250K and above
  • Expert-level understanding of medical management, treatment progression, and the full lifecycle of a personal injury case
  • Strong intake experience with the ability to evaluate liability, damages, and case viability
  • Proven settlement negotiation experience
  • Strong knowledge of statutes of limitations, government claims, and legal calendaring requirements
  • Excellent organization, attention to detail, and ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment
  • Strong leadership skills and the ability to work effectively with attorneys, Case Managers, support staff, and clients
  • Patient, professional, and confident client communication skills

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) plan
  • Paid vacation and sick leave
  • 14 paid holidays
  • Disability coverage
  • Pet insurance
  • Employer-paid parking
  • Weekly Monday breakfast
