PRE-LITIGATION LIABILITY ATTORNEY — Personal Injury | Brentwood, Los Angeles
Farahi Law Firm is an award-winning California personal injury firm. We win cases on the strength of our investigation.
The role
This is not a docket job. Our case managers, investigators and medical teams run the files. You take the ones that matter most — our highest-value cases where liability is disputed — and change their trajectory. You find the coverage and the defendants others missed, retain and direct the right experts, lock down the evidence, and hand the file back with liability fixed and a plan the team can execute. Then you move to the next one.
What you'll do
- Take on disputed-liability cases early, while the evidence can still be secured
- Build the liability theory: scene and vehicle evidence, EDR, video, witnesses, recorded statements, police-report challenges
- Identify additional at-fault parties and policies — employers, owners, contractors, umbrella and excess coverage
- Retain and direct accident-reconstruction, biomechanical, premises and human-factors experts
- Write a liability memo and action plan the case team executes; stay on the file until liability is accepted, overturned, or a filing recommendation goes to litigation
- Own two numbers: cases touched and liability conversion rate on those cases
What we're looking for
- Active California Bar, good standing
- 3–7 years plaintiff-side personal injury; you've turned denied-liability cases into paid ones and can tell us how
- Comfortable directing experts and investigators, and writing a liability analysis a litigator would sign
- Curiosity and persistence — you assume the police report is wrong until you've checked
- Filevine or similar; Spanish/English a plus
What you get
- Base $170,000–$220,000 depending on experience Total Comp Potential: $170,000 - 286,000
- Quarterly bonus, 20% of base at target, 30% at stretch, paid on liability conversion rate on the files you touched and on turnaround — no fee percentages, no origination requirements
- A real team behind every file: investigators, case managers, medical records and billing, negotiators, and litigation attorneys who pick up what you've built
- The firm's best cases, not its volume — and direct exposure to the CEO and lead trial counsel on how they're run
Where you'll work
11661 San Vicente Blvd, Suite 910, Brentwood — a corner office floor with ocean views from Santa Monica to Palos Verdes. Baltaire, one of the Westside's best restaurants, sits in the lobby of the building; Orangetheory is downstairs and San Vicente's cafés and shops are a block away. One of the most walkable neighborhoods in Los Angeles, ten minutes from the beach. This is an in-office position.

Tips for Your Pre-Litigation Case Manager Job Search
Tailor your resume to each firm type
Personal injury firms, insurance defense teams, and healthcare litigation shops each have different priorities. Highlight demand package experience for plaintiff firms, reserve analysis for insurance roles, and medical billing familiarity for healthcare litigation openings.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists pre-litigation case manager openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Quantify your caseload management on paper
Hiring managers want to see how many active files you managed simultaneously and how quickly you moved cases to demand stage. Replace vague phrases like 'managed cases' with concrete volume and turnaround language drawn from your actual work.
Get familiar with case management software used in the field
Firms screen heavily for experience with legal case management platforms. If a posting names a specific system you haven't used, note any comparable platform you do know and be ready to explain the overlap during your interview.
Prepare for scenario-based interview questions
Interviewers frequently ask how you handled a difficult client, a missing medical record, or a statute of limitations approaching fast. Prepare two or three real examples that show your decision-making process under time pressure.
Negotiate start date and caseload before accepting
Pre-litigation roles often come with an inherited file load from a departing manager. Ask during the offer stage how many open cases you would take on day one and what the expected ramp timeline looks like before you commit.
Pre-Litigation Case Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most pre-litigation case managers?
The companies hiring the most pre-litigation case managers right now include DM Injury Law, Thompson Law Injury Lawyers, and Career Consulting Partners, with the largest share of openings in California, Texas, and Missouri, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Personal injury plaintiff firms and large insurance carriers consistently post the highest volume of these roles.
How many pre-litigation case manager jobs are remote?
About 49% of pre-litigation case manager openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting a broader shift in legal operations toward distributed teams. Client intake coordination and demand package drafting tend to be the sub-functions most commonly offered remotely, while roles requiring in-person client contact or courthouse runs are still primarily on-site.
How do you become a pre-litigation case manager?
Start by building experience in a legal support role such as legal assistant, claims adjuster, or medical records coordinator, since those functions form the core of pre-litigation work. Develop fluency in medical record review and terminology, then seek a position at a personal injury firm or insurance company where you can manage files from intake through demand. A paralegal certificate strengthens your candidacy, though many employers prioritize hands-on case experience over formal credentials.
Can you get hired as a pre-litigation case manager with no experience?
Entry into the role without direct case management experience is possible if you can demonstrate adjacent skills. Medical billing, claims processing, customer service in a healthcare or legal setting, and administrative roles at law firms all translate well. Applying to firms that explicitly list their opening as entry-level or that offer on-the-job training improves your odds, and a paralegal certificate signals commitment to the field even when experience is limited.
What does the pre-litigation case manager interview process look like?
Most hiring processes begin with a phone or video screen focused on your familiarity with case management software and your experience handling medical records. A second round typically involves a hiring manager or supervising attorney who asks scenario-based questions about difficult clients, tight deadlines, or complex lien situations. Some firms include a short skills assessment covering medical terminology or document organization before extending an offer.
Where can I find and apply to pre-litigation case manager jobs?
You can find and apply to pre-litigation case manager jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States in one place. Search for roles that match your experience level and practice area focus, then apply directly to each listing that fits.
