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.

About You

• Qualified Solicitor, CILEX, or experienced fee earner with a solid background in personal injury claims.
• Strong experience in handling RTA claims – particularly those involving fractures.
• Working knowledge of the MOJ and OIC portals and the fast-track process.

• A proven track record of achieving successful outcomes for clients.
• Exceptional client care and communication skills.
• Ability to mentor and assist less experienced colleagues.
• Proficient in case management systems and Microsoft Office.
