Plaintiff Personal Injury Attorney - Pre-Litigation

PRE-LITIGATION ATTORNEY | Irvine, CA | Full-Time | In-Office

PAY: $100K–$160K DOE

At TORKLAW, exceptional results start with exceptional people.

We’re an award-winning plaintiff personal injury law firm built around growth, accountability, compassion, and a relentless commitment to our clients.

Our attorneys aren’t simply managing files. They’re trusted advocates, strategists, negotiators, and leaders who have a direct impact on the lives of the people we represent.

We’re looking for an experienced Plaintiff Personal Injury Attorney who knows how to take ownership of a case, build trust with clients, negotiate strategically, and consistently look for ways to maximize results.

If you’re looking for meaningful work, quality cases, strong support, high-level mentorship, and a team that genuinely values your contribution, we’d love to meet you.

WHAT YOU’LL OWN

The Case

You’ll take ownership of personal injury cases from intake through settlement, developing the strategy and driving the case forward.

You’ll:

• Conduct strategic investigations into liability, damages, and case value
• Analyze medical records, evidence, and other case-related documentation
• Develop case strategy and identify opportunities to maximize value
• Draft and review demand packages and other legal documents
• Negotiate with insurance carriers and opposing counsel
• Evaluate settlement offers and make strategic recommendations
• Maintain a strong understanding of the legal and factual issues affecting each case

The Client Experience

Our clients come to us during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

• You’ll be responsible for helping them understand the legal process
• Set the expectations
• Answer their questions
• Making sure they feel informed and supported throughout their case.

We believe exceptional legal representation and exceptional client service go hand in hand.

Collaboration

• You won’t be doing this alone.
• You’ll work closely with legal assistants, case managers, medical professionals, lien negotiators, and attorneys to move cases forward and deliver the best possible results for our clients.

We value attorneys who communicate well, collaborate naturally, and understand that great outcomes are built by great teams.

Ownership
We’re looking for someone who doesn’t wait to be told what needs to happen.

• If something is holding a case back, you identify it.
• If there’s an opportunity to strengthen a case, you pursue it.
• If a client needs help, you step in.

You’ll have significant responsibility for your caseload, and we expect our attorneys to take genuine ownership of the work

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We’re looking for an attorney who combines strong legal judgment with exceptional communication, organization, and client-service skills.

You’ll likely thrive here if you:

• Are an active attorney in good standing
• Have 5+ years of plaintiff personal injury experience preferred
• Have a strong understanding of California personal injury law and procedures
• Have experience managing a significant personal injury caseload
• Are a strong negotiator who knows how to evaluate risk, leverage, and case value
• Communicate confidently and empathetically with clients
• Are highly organized and detail-oriented
• Take ownership of your cases and follow through
• Can work independently while contributing to a collaborative team
• Are comfortable making strategic decisions and advocating for your clients
• Care about both the outcome of the case and the experience of the person behind it

• Bilingual English/Spanish is a plus, but not required.

This is a hands-on, high-accountability role.

You’ll have autonomy, but you’ll also be expected to own your results.

You’ll need to be comfortable managing multiple priorities, making decisions, communicating with clients, and pushing cases forward without waiting for someone else to tell you what to do.

If you’re looking for a position where you can simply manage files without taking ownership of the bigger picture, this may not be the right fit.

If you’re an attorney who wants to build cases, advocate for clients, grow professionally, and be surrounded by people who are serious about winning, we think you’ll fit right in.
