About the Firm

Our client is an established, growing plaintiff personal injury firm. They handle cases from pre-litigation through trial and are known for litigating files rather than just settling them. This is a confidential search; the firm will be named once there is mutual interest.

The Role

The firm needs an experienced New York litigator who can own a personal injury caseload from a fully remote setup. Candidates must be based in New York. You'll take files from pre-suit evaluation and demand through discovery, motion practice, mediation and trial. Paralegal and firm support keep the work focused on litigating. This is a role for someone who wants to try cases, not just process them.

What You'll Do

Litigation

• Manage a caseload of New York personal injury matters from filing through verdict or resolution
• Draft and argue pleadings, bills of particulars, discovery demands and responses, and dispositive and non-dispositive motions under the CPLR and the Uniform Rules
• Take and defend depositions, including treating physicians and expert witnesses
• Appear at preliminary and compliance conferences, and drive files to note of issue on schedule
• Develop the serious injury threshold under Insurance Law §5102(d) and defend against threshold motions
• Prepare and try cases in New York Supreme Court, and handle arbitrations and mediations
• E-file and manage matters through NYSCEF

Pre-Litigation

• Evaluate liability and damages on new matters and set case strategy early
• Prepare and negotiate demands with carriers, and decide when a file should go into suit
• Track statutes of limitations and notice-of-claim deadlines, including claims against municipalities

Across the Caseload

• Direct and work with paralegals to keep every file moving and trial-ready
• Communicate with clients clearly and with empathy throughout the life of their case

What You Bring

• Admitted to the New York bar and in good standing
• 5+ years' personal injury litigation experience, with plaintiff-side strongly preferred (strong insurance defense litigators considered)
• Real trial experience, including first-chair work or substantial trial participation
• Deep working knowledge of the CPLR, New York motion practice and NYSCEF
• A track record of taking and defending depositions and arguing motions
• Experience with Labor Law §§240/241(6), premises or motor vehicle cases is a plus
• Comfort handling both pre-litigation and litigation files
• Strong organization and judgment, with the ability to run a caseload independently and stay responsive in a remote environment
• Must reside in New York

Why This Role

• 100% remote with a stable, well-resourced firm and steady case volume
• A firm that litigates and tries cases instead of pushing every file to settlement
• Paralegal support, so your time goes to practicing law
• Competitive compensation
