About the Opportunity

An established, nationally recognized plaintiffs’ litigation firm is seeking a Mass Tort Litigation Paralegal to join its Dallas team.

This is an excellent opportunity for a litigation paralegal looking to expand their experience in complex, high-stakes litigation involving mass torts, toxic exposures, pharmaceutical claims, product liability, catastrophic personal injury, and wrongful death.

The firm handles sophisticated litigation across multiple jurisdictions, offering the opportunity to work alongside experienced trial attorneys on significant cases that impact individuals and families nationwide.

Unlike traditional personal injury roles, this position offers exposure to complex, multi-jurisdictional litigation and the opportunity to take ownership of cases throughout the litigation lifecycle.

Position Overview

The Mass Tort Litigation Paralegal will play an integral role in managing and developing a diverse portfolio of complex litigation matters. Working closely with experienced attorneys, this individual will be involved in substantive case preparation, medical record analysis, discovery, legal drafting, and litigation coordination.

The ideal candidate is a proactive, detail-oriented litigation professional who enjoys taking ownership of cases, managing competing deadlines, and contributing directly to the success of complex litigation matters.

Key Responsibilities

Complex Litigation & Case Management

  • Manage an active caseload of approximately 100–300 mass tort, personal injury, and product liability matters.

  • Work closely with litigation attorneys to advance cases from initial intake through active litigation.

  • Coordinate case development, maintain organized litigation files, and track critical deadlines.

  • Support complex litigation matters involving multiple defendants, jurisdictions, and legal issues.

  • Collaborate with local counsel and litigation teams to facilitate filings, service, and case progression.

Discovery, Medical Records & Case Development

  • Obtain, review, organize, and summarize medical records and billing documentation.

  • Analyze medical expenses, including paid-versus-incurred calculations.

  • Assist with discovery preparation, responses, and supporting documentation.

  • Negotiate medical lien reductions with providers and facilities to maximize client recovery.

  • Assist attorneys with preparing case materials and documentation throughout litigation.

Legal Drafting & Court Filings

  • Draft and prepare substantive litigation documents, including petitions, motions, briefs, proposed orders, discovery, and deposition notices.

  • Coordinate the filing and service of pleadings and other court documents in state and federal courts.

  • Manage electronic filing and service requirements across multiple jurisdictions.

  • Communicate with local counsel regarding procedural requirements, deadlines, and filing logistics.

  • Ensure accuracy and compliance with applicable court rules and litigation deadlines.

Qualifications

  • 2+ years of litigation paralegal experience, preferably with a plaintiffs’ litigation firm.

  • Mass tort litigation experience is required.

  • Strong background in plaintiff-side personal injury, product liability, or complex litigation.

  • Experience managing litigation caseloads across multiple jurisdictions.

  • Proficiency in drafting pleadings, motions, discovery, and other litigation documents.

  • Experience obtaining, analyzing, and summarizing medical records and billing documentation.

  • Knowledge of medical lien negotiations and paid-versus-incurred calculations.

  • Familiarity with state and federal court procedures, electronic filing, and service requirements.

  • Strong organizational, analytical, and written communication skills.

  • Ability to independently manage competing deadlines while supporting multiple attorneys.

  • Detail-oriented, resourceful, and comfortable working in a fast-paced litigation environment.

Technical Experience

Proficiency with Microsoft Office, PACER/ECF, LexisNexis, electronic filing systems, and legal case management platforms such as Needles or similar software.

Compensation & Benefits

$65,000–$85,000 annually, based on experience and qualifications. This is an hourly position with annualized compensation in the stated range.

The firm offers:

  • Medical and dental insurance

  • 401(k) retirement benefits

  • Exposure to complex, high-impact litigation

  • Opportunity to collaborate with experienced plaintiffs’ trial attorneys

  • An established national litigation practice

Why Consider This Opportunity?
