RTA Lawyer
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 litigated 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, proactively litigating when settlement isn't possible. You'll handle the entire process, from investigating liability and quantum to drafting legal documents and preparing for court, making this an exciting opportunity to further develop your legal career in a fast-paced, hands-on environment.
Key Responsibilities
1. Manage your own caseload of litigated fast-track RTA claims.
2. Investigate both liability and quantum, gathering evidence, and conducting legal research.
3. Draft pleadings, witness statements, schedules of loss, and statements of case.
4. Assess whether to make, reject, or accept offers.
5. Utilise case management systems and legal software efficiently.
6. Ensure compliance with Pre-Action Protocols, CPR, and funding requirements.
7. Engage regularly with clients, witnesses, and other legal professionals.
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.
