Plaintiff's Personal Injury Paralegal

Job Description

Job Description

Pay: $90,000.00 - $120,000.00 per year

Why This Is a Great Opportunity

• Bring your expertise to a firm that actually values it — this is a senior-level role built for a seasoned PI paralegal who wants to own their caseload, not just support one
• Work on substantive, complex matters including catastrophic injury, trucking, premises liability, and wrongful death cases — no cookie-cutter files
• Join a collaborative, tight-knit litigation team where your institutional knowledge and judgment will directly influence case outcomes
• Earn performance-based bonuses in recognition of the experience and impact you bring
• Enjoy a full benefits package including health insurance, 401(k), life insurance, and complimentary parking
• Operate in a firm culture that respects paralegal expertise and gives you the autonomy to manage your cases with real authority
• Build your next chapter at a firm where your work genuinely matters to the clients you serve

Location: This is a fully on-site role in the Memorial area of Houston, TX — a premier professional corridor with a collaborative office environment, easy access, and free parking provided. This is a place where the team shows up together and moves cases forward together.

Note: This role is specifically designed for candidates with 15+ years of plaintiff-side personal injury paralegal experience. General legal or litigation paralegal experience without a PI plaintiff focus will not meet the qualifications for this position. Texas personal injury litigation knowledge is required.
