Job Description

Our firm is built on speed, precision, and results—and that doesn’t stop when a case settles. The final stage of every case is where trust is earned, clients are paid, and revenue is realized.

We’re looking for a Settlement & Subrogation Clerk—someone who thrives on accuracy, moves quickly, and takes full ownership of the disbursement process. This is a high-impact role responsible for turning settlements into fast, clean, and compliant payouts.


Key Responsibilities

· Prepare and finalize settlement statements, including attorney fees, costs, liens, and client net recovery.
· Request, track, and resolve medical liens and subrogation claims.
· Communicate with medical providers, insurers, and lienholders to obtain accurate payoff amounts.
· Coordinate and execute client disbursements, ensuring all funds are properly allocated.
· Confirm settlement funds are received and cleared prior to payment.
· Partner with accounting/trust teams to process payments to clients and third parties.
· Clearly explain settlement breakdowns to clients in a professional and understandable manner.
· Maintain accurate, complete, and audit-ready documentation for every file.
· Close out cases once all payments and documentation are finalized.


What We’re Looking For

· A detail-obsessed operator with zero tolerance for financial errors.
· Strong ability to manage multiple files and deadlines in a high-volume environment.
· Clear communicator who can confidently work with clients, providers, and internal teams.
· High ownership mentality—you take responsibility for getting cases closed cleanly and correctly.
· Process-driven mindset with the ability to execute quickly and consistently.


Qualifications

· 2+ years of experience in one of the following:

  • Personal injury law firm (settlements, case management, or disbursements)
  • Lien resolution / subrogation
  • Insurance claims (bodily injury or similar)
    · Strong attention to detail and accuracy in handling financial information.
    · Proven ability to manage high-volume workloads and meet deadlines.
    · Excellent communication and organizational skills.


Preferred Qualifications

· Experience preparing settlement statements.
· Familiarity with medical liens and subrogation processes.
· Experience working with trust accounting or legal financial workflows.
· Background in a high-volume personal injury firm.


Why this role?

· Direct impact on firm revenue and cash flow—your work ensures cases close and funds are collected
· High ownership role managing the final and most critical stage of the case lifecycle
· Fast-paced, execution-focused environment with clear expectations
· Opportunity to work closely with legal and finance teams
· Be part of a team that values accuracy, speed, and accountability


Compensation & Work Environment

· Competitive base salary ($65,000 – $85,000, depending on experience)
· Performance-based bonus tied to accuracy, speed, and volume
· Full benefits package (health, PTO, etc.)
· Hybrid work environment (in-office onboarding with flexibility after ramp-up)
· Collaborative, high-performance team culture


What Success Looks Like

· Settlements are disbursed quickly (typically within 10–20 days)
· Settlement statements are consistently 100% accurate
· All liens are resolved prior to payment
· Files are closed cleanly with complete documentation
· Attorneys and paralegals are not pulled into disbursement issues
