Trial Attorney For Personal Injury Law Firm

Job Description

Job Description

Correll Law Firm is a Virginia plaintiffs' firm focused on personal injury and medical malpractice. We're hiring a Trial Attorney to handle a docket of litigated cases from filing through verdict. You'll be based in our Winchester office on a hybrid schedule.

This is a courtroom job. You'll first-chair your own cases, and firm paralegals and case managers will support every file.

What you'll do:

• Manage litigated PI and med mal matters from complaint through trial or resolution
• Take and defend depositions of parties, treating physicians, and experts
• Work through medical records and bills to build damages and value cases
• Draft and argue motions, designations, and trial briefs
• Try cases to verdict in Virginia circuit courts
• Negotiate and mediate against insurers and defense counsel
• Join the weekly Monday case meeting (remote is fine)

Hybrid means working remotely most days. You'll be in person for court, depositions, mediations, client meetings when a case calls for it, and a quarterly firm meeting.

Requirements

Requirements

• Active Virginia State Bar license in good standing; West Virginia admission a plus
• 5+ years of civil litigation experience
• At least two jury trials as first chair
• Deposition experience, including medical providers or experts
• Comfortable reading and summarizing medical records
• Clear, persuasive writing. Our process includes a short timed writing exercise.
• Insurance defense and insurer staff-counsel experience welcome. You know how the other side values a case, and that's an advantage here.

Benefits

• $140,000–$175,000 base salary, depending on trial experience
• Uncapped, tiered production bonus on case resolutions
• PTO and benefits from day one, with no waiting period
• Health insurance
• Housing/relocation stipend for attorneys moving to the Winchester area
• Hybrid schedule with paralegal and case-manager support
