"The role provides a unique and exciting opportunity for those seeking a start in their legal career, joining us as we continue to grow, developing your legal skills with our exceptional training and continued guidance.
The Role
As a paralegal in our Minors team, within our Claimant Personal Injury department you will be representing our infant clients who have been injured because of a road traffic accident to bring a claim against the Defendant for damages using court proceedings as and when required. The successful candidate will deal with a caseload of claims in which the other driver is either admitting full liability, disputing liability in full or in part for the accident from the commencement of the claim, up to and including an infant approval hearing (court trial). This can be a difficult time for our clients and therefore you will be there from the start of their claim, reassuring and empathising with them and their Litigation Friend.
Aside from investigating the accident circumstances, you will also be responsible for the investigation of our client’s claim for Personal Injury. Your role will involve obtaining medical evidence in support of your client’s claim, instructing advocates to value the injuries sustained and you will gather all the required evidence in respect of their losses.
With your own caseload, you’ll advise your clients on the best course of action. In this fast-paced role, you’ll effectively manage and progress your own caseload using our in-house case management system (and in line with our service level agreements), keeping clients informed of progress every step of the way.
Key Responsibilities
- Proactively review accident circumstances and any relevant case law
- Assess and investigate liability
- Review medical reports and value injury claims
- Review financial losses
- Draft court documents
- Instruct advocates to value medical reports alongside instructions to attend infant approval hearings
- Advise clients in respect of liability and quantum
- Consider prospects and taking a pragmatic approach to settlements
About You
Experience of handling claims of this nature is advantageous but not essential as full training will be provided. However, you must have a genuine interest in law and be willing to learn new skills and approaches to tasks. Numeracy, literacy and IT skills are vital and you will need to be a great communicator.
Whilst you will be supported in your role, you will need to be able to manage your time effectively, ensuring adherence with service level agreements and deadlines. Being able to prioritise your work in what can be a busy environment will be essential.
A large part of the role is solving problems and so the ability to weigh up various approaches and then action the appropriate solution will be essential. An eagerness to “get stuck in”, whilst you maintain strong attention to detail is key. Finally, you should be as enthusiastic about delivering great service as we are! The desire to perform to the best of your abilities will be indispensable when you join the team here at Admiral Law.
