Orthopaedic Injuries Legal Advisor

Personal Injury Fee Earner – RTA (Fracture Claims)
Location: Flexible hybrid working available
Salary: Competitive, DOE
Job Type: Full-time, Permanent

An excellent opportunity has arisen for an experienced Personal Injury Fee Earner to join a well-established legal team, handling a caseload of litigated and non-litigated RTA personal injury claims involving orthopaedic injuries – specifically fractures.

This is a rewarding and challenging role that requires a confident litigator with strong client care skills.

The Role You will manage your own caseload from cradle to grave, comprising predominantly portal-based RTA claims involving a wide range of orthopaedic injuries – such as fractures to fingers, toes, ribs, arms, legs, etc.

While many claims will fall within the portal or fast-track process, more complex or higher-value cases (typically over £25,000) may need to be escalated to the Multi-Track or Serious Injury team.

This is a great role for someone who enjoys working autonomously and is motivated to maximise damages and costs.

You will be encouraged to convert straightforward claims into fast or multi-track matters and to develop your expertise across a range of PI issues.

Key Responsibilities

- Manage a caseload of RTA fracture claims from initial instruction through to settlement or litigation.

- Keep clients (both lay and insurer) informed throughout the life of the claim.

- Obtain medical evidence, assess liability and quantum, and negotiate settlement.

- Identify and escalate cases where appropriate to the Multi-Track or SI team.

- Deal with post and email correspondence in a timely and organised manner.

- Ensure that clients receive exceptional service and the best possible outcome.

- Provide support to junior team members and liaise with senior staff on contentious matters.

- Promote effective communication with all parties involved including clients, insurers, medical experts, barristers, and investigators.

- Maintain accurate case records using the firm’s CMS.
