Senior Personal Injury Litigation Paralegal

Law Firm is looking for an experienced litigation paralegal who knows how to keep personal injury cases moving. This is an opportunity to work directly with experienced trial attorneys on meaningful Florida personal injury cases. We are looking for someone who understands the litigation process, anticipates what comes next and takes genuine ownership of their files. This is a senior, litigation-focused position, not an entry-level or primarily pre-suit role.

Manage personal injury cases through all stages of litigation, from filing through mediation and trial preparation
Draft pleadings, motions, notices, subpoenas and substantive correspondence
Prepare and respond to interrogatories, requests for production and requests for admissions
Coordinate depositions, hearings, mediations, compulsory medical examinations and expert-related deadlines
Maintain litigation calendars and independently monitor court orders, discovery deadlines and trial requirements
Organize medical records, bills, liens, damages documentation, exhibits and case chronologies
Communicate professionally and compassionately with clients while keeping them informed about their cases
Work with opposing counsel, judicial assistants, experts, medical providers and other parties
Prepare attorneys and case materials for depositions, mediations, hearings and trials
File and serve documents through Florida’s electronic filing systems
Anticipate case needs, identify potential problems and ensure no deadline or important detail is overlooked

What We’re Looking For
At least five years of substantial personal injury litigation experience
Extensive familiarity with Florida civil litigation and personal injury practice
Strong drafting, proofreading and written-communication skills
Experience handling discovery and preparing cases for mediation and trial
Excellent organization and the ability to manage multiple active cases and competing deadlines
Sound judgment, personal accountability and consistent attention to detail
Confidence working independently while remaining collaborative and responsive
Professional and empathetic communication with clients
Proficiency with litigation technology and electronic filing systems

Plaintiff-side personal injury experience, meaningful trial-preparation experience and familiarity with Clio are strongly preferred.
Compensation and Benefits
Annual salary of $75,000–$90,000, depending on the depth and relevance of the candidate’s experience
Eligibility for quarterly performance bonuses
Monthly health-insurance stipend
Paid time off starting at 70 hours annually, with additional PTO negotiable based on experience
Paid firm holidays
SIMPLE IRA (matching) retirement-plan eligibility after 90 days
Remote or hybrid work arrangement
Firm-provided equipment for an effective home-office setup
