Job description

Litigation Attorney, Auto Defense | Miami, FL | $125,000 to $200,000 | Auto

Miami produces more auto litigation than almost anywhere in Florida, and the plaintiffs' firms here are organized, well funded and quick to file. Defending those cases well takes an attorney who is just as organized and just as quick.

I'm Ryan Jaiswal at Distinct Recruitment, recruiting an auto defense attorney for an insurance defense firm in Miami.

• Auto liability claims, from low impact collisions to serious injury and disputed permanency
• Liability investigation: crash reports, vehicle data, phone records and witness statements
• Depositions of drivers, treating physicians, biomechanical engineers and reconstruction experts
• Your own hearings, mediations and trials
• Direct contact with adjusters who want a straight evaluation, not a hedge

On your resume

• 2+ years of litigation experience, with auto or bodily injury defense the most natural fit

On the offer

• $125,000 to $200,000, a range set wide so experienced attorneys are paid properly

On the bigger picture

Experience scales here. Senior attorneys take the larger exposure files, try cases first chair, mentor the lawyers coming up behind them and build client relationships of their own. The path to partner is real, and it's discussed openly.

Auto defense gets underrated by people who haven't done it. A disputed liability crash in front of a Miami jury is as demanding as anything in litigation, and the attorneys who handle it well become very good trial lawyers very quickly.
