About the Role
We are seeking a highly experienced and strategic Personal Injury Case Manager specializing in high-value commercial cases to join our client's elite legal team. In this role, you will manage a select portfolio of complex, high-exposure personal injury cases involving commercial vehicles, trucking companies, construction accidents, premises liability, and other corporate defendants — cases where damages routinely reach six and seven figures.
This is not a standard case manager role. You will be expected to think critically, work closely with attorneys on case strategy, manage expert witnesses, coordinate with investigators, and drive cases toward maximum recovery. You must be a seasoned legal professional with a proven track record handling complex, high-stakes personal injury litigation in a fast-paced, results-driven environment.

- Compile and organize comprehensive evidence files including photos, videos, witness statements, and third-party reports

Medical Management & Damages Development
- Oversee and actively manage the medical treatment of seriously injured clients, ensuring they receive appropriate and well-documented care
- Coordinate with treating physicians, specialists, and life care planners to document the full extent of injuries and future medical needs
- Build detailed medical chronologies and catastrophic injury summaries for attorney review
- Work with economists, vocational experts, and life care planners to develop comprehensive damages models including lost earning capacity, future medical costs, and pain and suffering
- Track all medical expenses, outstanding bills, and lien balances across multiple providers and lien holders
- Negotiate medical liens and bills under attorney supervision to maximize net recovery for the client
Insurance & Coverage Analysis

- Research corporate defendant structures to identify all potentially liable parties and available insurance assets
- Communicate strategically with insurance adjusters, coverage counsel, and defense attorneys as directed
- Track and manage multiple simultaneous insurance claims across commercial and personal policies

- Monitor excess and umbrella exposure and assist in bad faith evaluation where applicable
Client Relations
- Serve as the primary point of contact for high-value clients, providing regular, clear, and strategic case updates
- Manage client expectations with honesty and professionalism throughout what are often lengthy and complex cases
