Responsibilities
* To manage a caseload of MOJ (Part 8) and Part 7 cases, delivering high-quality claims handling with a strong focus on client outcomes. The role involves proactive litigation to generate fee income and contribute to the overall success of the business.
* Key responsibilities include assessing liability and quantum—reviewing medical reports, researching and applying relevant case law, drafting schedules of special damages, and evaluating appropriate compensation awards.
