Personal Injury Solicitor

Personal Injury Solicitor – Leeds

I am working with a leading UK legal and insurance services provider to recruit an experienced Personal Injury Solicitor or CILEX-qualified Legal Executive to join its established personal injury team.

This role offers the opportunity to manage a varied and technically interesting caseload of litigated and non-litigated Road Traffic Accident (RTA) claims, with a particular emphasis on cases that have exited the portal and progressed to Fast Track and lower-value Multi-Track.

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.

• Manage a caseload of litigated and non-litigated personal injury claims from inception to conclusion
• Maintain proactive, regular communication with clients and insurer partners

• Strong portal experience, including stayed claims and applications to lift or extend stays
• Proven ability to manage complex or technical personal injury matters
• Demonstrable track record of running a successful Fast Track and/or Multi-Track caseload
• Excellent client care, communication and analytical skills

• Experience liaising with medical agencies, investigators, counsel and other external parties
• Strong IT skills, including case management systems (e.g. Solcase or similar) and MS Office
• Highly organised with excellent time management and a calm, methodical approach

My client is one of the UK's leading providers of legal and insurance services, working in close partnership with major insurers while also representing individual claimants nationwide.
