Job description

Litigation Paralegal (VA)

10X Recruitment · Virginia, United States

Litigation Paralegal: Personal Injury

Virginia · Full-time · 100% Remote

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 a seasoned Litigation Paralegal who can run a caseload with minimal direction from a fully remote setup. Candidates must be based in Virginia. Most of the work is litigation. You'll work directly with trial attorneys to move files from complaint through discovery, mediation and trial. You'll also support pre-litigation files as they're prepared for demand and, when needed, for suit. Staying ahead of deadlines and keeping the file trial-ready is a core part of the job.

What You'll Do

Litigation

• Draft complaints, discovery requests and responses, expert designations, subpoenas and routine motions
• Calendar and track all deadlines under the Rules of the Supreme Court of Virginia, Title 8.01 of the Code of Virginia and local court rules
• E-file and serve in Virginia Circuit and General District Courts, including through the Virginia Judiciary E-Filing System (VJEFS)
• Schedule and prepare for depositions, IMEs and mediations, including remote proceedings
• Prepare trial binders, exhibit lists and witness materials, and support attorneys at trial

Pre-Litigation

• Request, organize and summarize medical records and bills; build damages summaries
• Help assemble demand packages and communicate with insurance adjusters
• Track liens and coordinate with medical providers on balances
• Spot files nearing the statute of limitations and flag them early for suit

Across the Caseload

• Keep clients updated on case status with professionalism and empathy
• Maintain accurate, current files in the firm's case management system

What You Bring

• 5+ years' experience as a litigation paralegal, with plaintiff personal injury strongly preferred
• Working knowledge of Virginia civil procedure and state court e-filing
• Hands-on trial preparation experience
• Pre-litigation experience (records, demands, liens) is a plus
• Strong organization, with a track record of never missing a deadline
• Clear written communication and good judgment about when to elevate
• Proven ability to work independently and stay responsive in a remote environment
• Proficiency with case management software and Microsoft Office
• Paralegal certificate or degree preferred
• Must reside in Virginia

Why This Role

• 100% remote with a stable, well-resourced firm and steady case volume
• Direct work alongside trial attorneys on files that go the distance
• Competitive compensation
