Full Time £26,307 / yearJob Overview
Are you a motivated and independent lawyer with a strong background in personal injury law? We are looking for an RTA Lawyer to manage a caseload of fast-track Road Traffic Accident (RTA) claims that have exited the portal process. In this role, you'll work on cases where liability has been both admitted and denied, litigating where necessary. You'll handle the entire process, holding responsibility for all liability and quantum investigations pre-issue and subsequently assisting in the management of litigation where necessary. This is an exciting opportunity to further develop your legal career in a fast-paced, hands-on environment.
Key Responsibilities
As an RTA Lawyer, you'll be responsible for managing your own caseload of fast-track RTA claims, working on cases that have exited the portal process. Your day-to-day tasks will involve investigating all liability and quantum investigations pre-issue, gathering evidence, and conducting legal research. You'll be drafting pleadings, witness statements, schedules of loss, and statements of case, as well as assessing whether to make, reject, or accept offers. The role requires you to utilise case management systems and legal software efficiently, and ensuring compliance with Pre-Action Protocols, CPR, and funding requirements. Communication will be a key aspect of your role, as you'll engage regularly with clients, witnesses, and other legal professionals to move cases forward.
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
We are looking for someone with a solid understanding of personal injury law, including Pre-Action Protocols and the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR). You will have prior experience handling litigated personal injury claims and working directly with clients, either in person or by phone. Excellent communication skills are essential, along with the ability to work both quickly and accurately under pressure. If you have previous experience with RTA claims and electronic case management systems, that would be advantageous. If you are looking for a role where you can take ownership of your cases and make impactful decisions, this position offers a fantastic opportunity to grow.
