Personal Injury Solicitor

Personal Injury Solicitor – Leeds

The Role

You will be responsible for running a caseload that often includes complex features such as overlapping injuries, significant pre-existing conditions, stayed proceedings and challenging client circumstances. A key focus of the role is progressing claims efficiently from the portal into Fast Track and/or Multi-Track, while maximising both damages and recoverable costs.

You will work closely with insurers and individual clients, delivering high standards of service and achieving commercially strong outcomes.
