Personal Injury Pre-Litigation Attorney (2+ Years)

Louisville, KY | Full-Time | On-Site

This opening was recently listed by a law firm and offers the opportunity to join a well-established practice in Louisville, KY.

Protem Legal is working closely with a distinguished plaintiff personal-injury practice to recruit a Personal Injury Pre-Litigation Attorney.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• High-volume motor-vehicle and personal-injury caseload from investigation through settlement
• At least two years of plaintiff-side pre-litigation experience is enough to start
• Direct client advocacy and settlement negotiations with insurers
• Clear path to hand qualifying matters to the litigation team

About the Role

You’ll manage a high-volume caseload of primarily motor-vehicle accident claims from initial investigation through settlement or transfer to litigation. You’ll evaluate damages, negotiate with insurance carriers, and serve as a trusted advocate for injured clients in a fast-paced environment.

What You’ll Do

• Manage personal-injury matters through the pre-litigation process
• Provide responsive, compassionate service and keep clients informed
• Investigate liability, insurance coverage, injuries, and damages
• Gather and review medical records, bills, accident reports, wage-loss documentation, and other evidence
• Evaluate case value, prepare settlement demands, and negotiate with insurers and defense representatives
• Coordinate with medical providers, experts, and other outside professionals
• Identify cases that require litigation and collaborate with the litigation team on an effective transition
• Participate in training, seminars, and professional-development opportunities

What We’re Looking For

• Active Kentucky law license in good standing; candidates who completed the Uniform Bar Examination within the past four years and are willing and eligible to obtain Kentucky licensure may also be considered
• At least two years of personal injury pre-litigation experience
• Experience managing a high-volume personal-injury caseload
• Strong understanding of personal-injury claims, insurance practices, and applicable laws
• Demonstrated settlement-negotiation and case-evaluation skills
• Excellent written and verbal communication, organization, and follow-through
• Ability to work independently while collaborating with attorneys and legal support staff

Helpful Experience

• Bilingual proficiency in English and Spanish

Work Environment

This is a full-time, on-site role in the Louisville, Kentucky area.

Compensation

This position begins with a base salary plus commission and transitions to commission-only compensation after the first year. Pay will be discussed during the interview process and is based on qualifications and experience.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Flexible schedule
• Flexible spending account and health savings account with employer contributions
• Group life and AD&D insurance, plus short- and long-term disability (employer paid)
• 401(k) with matching
• Referral bonus program
