• Prepare and negotiate medical bill reductions and follow up with providers
• Communicate with clients, adjusters, providers, and opposing counsel throughout the life of the case
• Handle incoming and outgoing e-faxes and maintain accurate digital case files
• Manage and monitor client medical treatment and ensure up-to-date records are obtained
• Track case deadlines and ensure procedural steps are completed on time
• Schedule depositions, mediations, IMEs, and hearings; coordinate with process servers and court reporters
• Assist attorneys with legal research, client communication, and occasional marketing-related tasks
