Paralegal – Personal Injury / Med Mal

Miami, FL | Full-Time | In-Office

Established Trial Firm | Top-Tier Med Mal & PI Docket | Experienced, Supportive Team

A well-established Miami-based plaintiffs' firm is seeking an experienced personal injury paralegal for a high-volume caseload. The firm focuses on medical malpractice, catastrophic injury, wrongful death, construction litigation, and insurance litigation, representing clients throughout Florida.

This is a long-term, in-office role at the case-management level, ideal for a paralegal who wants to work on serious injury and malpractice matters with the support of a strong legal team.

About the Role

From day one, the paralegal will manage case files for medical malpractice and personal injury matters, working closely with members of the firm on discovery, medical record review, and trial preparation.

Key Responsibilities

- Manage a caseload of medical malpractice and personal injury files from intake through resolution
- Draft pleadings, discovery requests and responses, and other litigation documents for attorney review
- Collect, organize, and summarize medical records and bills to support case evaluation and damages
- Prepare for and coordinate depositions, hearings, mediations, and trial
- Communicate with clients, medical providers, insurance adjusters, and opposing counsel
- Track case deadlines and statutes of limitations, and maintain case management calendars
- Assist attorneys with trial preparation, including exhibit and witness organization
- Coordinate with expert witnesses and vendors as needed

Requirements

Experience and background:

- 5+ years of experience as a paralegal in plaintiffs' personal injury litigation
- Strong medical record review, case management, and litigation support skills
- Prior experience in medical malpractice litigation strongly preferred

Must-haves:

- No formal certification required; FRP or paralegal certification is a plus
- Scheduling depositions, hearings, and managing attorneys’ calendar
- Self-starting and able to manage a high-volume caseload with minimal supervision
- Significant, hands-on experience in plaintiffs' personal injury required
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a client-focused approach
- Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to track multiple case deadlines independently

Benefits

Why This Role Stands Out

- Work directly with an experienced FRP paralegal and respected trial attorneys on catastrophic injury and medical malpractice cases
- Meaningful case ownership and responsibility across the full litigation lifecycle
- Collaborative, well-resourced legal team supporting each matter
- Strong benefits package including 401(k) with profit sharing, full health coverage, and free parking

Compensation and Benefits

- Salary: $80,000 to $120,000, commensurate with experience.
- Annual discretionary bonus based on individual and firm performance
- Full health care coverage and HSA (after 1 year of employment), plus dental and vision insurance
- 401(k) plan with profit sharing program participation
- Life and disability insurance available
- Parking included
- Paid time off

How to Apply

Interested candidates should submit a resume and cover letter detailing relevant plaintiffs' personal injury and medical malpractice experience to the firm's recruiting team for consideration.
