Great Cases Need Great Transitions. That's Where You Come In!

Are you someone who notices the missing document before anyone else does? Do you enjoy organizing complex case information, solving problems, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks? If you have personal injury case management experience and take pride in a well-prepared case file, we'd love to meet you!

At McCready Law, we're looking for a detail-oriented Litigation Transition Specialist to help ensure personal injury cases move smoothly and efficiently from Pre-Litigation into Litigation. This is an important role connecting our Case Managers, attorneys, Medical Records team, and Litigation Paralegals. You'll help ensure that when a case is ready to move forward, the necessary information is complete, organized, and ready for the next stage.

What You'll Be Doing

• Review personal injury case files being prepared for transition into Litigation.
• Identify missing documentation, outstanding tasks, and information requiring follow-up.
• Review medical records, treatment information, billing, and specials charts for completeness and accuracy.
• Verify available insurance information and identify potential liens, reimbursement interests, and other outstanding matters.
• Coordinate with Case Managers, attorneys, Medical Records, and Litigation Paralegals to resolve outstanding items.
• Prepare clear, accurate litigation transition summaries.
• Communicate with clients regarding case transitions and outstanding information.
• Ensure important case details, documentation, and updates are accurately recorded in SmartAdvocate.
• Coordinate organized case handoffs so Litigation Paralegals have the information they need.
• Monitor outstanding tasks, follow up on delays, and escalate time-sensitive concerns.
• Help improve processes and communication between Pre-Litigation and Litigation.

Requirements

What We're Looking For

• Three or more years of personal injury case management or comparable legal support experience preferred.
• Familiarity with personal injury case development, medical records, treatment documentation, insurance coverage, and medical billing.
• Experience with litigation preparation, case transitions, or litigation support preferred.
• Strong organizational skills and exceptional attention to detail.
• Ability to identify incomplete information, follow through on outstanding tasks, and manage multiple priorities.
• Experience communicating effectively with attorneys, clients, and legal support teams.
• Proficiency with SmartAdvocate or comparable case management software preferred.
• Strong communication, problem-solving, and time-management skills.

You'll Be a Great Fit If You...

• Love turning complicated information into organized, complete case files.
• Notice details others might overlook.
• Take ownership and follow through without needing constant reminders.
• Enjoy working with different departments to get things done.
• Understand that communication and accuracy matter just as much as speed.
• Take pride in knowing your work helps cases move forward efficiently.
