This is a remote position based out of South Florida, ideal for a paralegal with three or more years of experience defending workers’ compensation claims who is ready to take ownership of a busy caseload, communicate confidently with attorneys and clients, and keep pace with Florida’s workers’ compensation procedural requirements.

Key Responsibilities:

• Prepare discovery objections, track privilege logs, and respond to opposing counsel’s requests.
• Build out medical chronologies, case timelines, and wage-loss summaries for each active file.

• Handle e-filing through the eJCC portal and assemble trial preparation materials, including exhibits and case summaries.
• Work side-by-side with attorneys to anticipate next steps and keep cases on track.
• Log billable hours daily and ensure all billing entries are accurate and complete.

Qualifications:

• Familiarity with Florida workers’ compensation statutes and the 60Q Rules of Procedure.
• Strong Microsoft Office skills (Word, Excel, Outlook) and experience with PDF software (Adobe Acrobat, Kofax).
• Prior use of the eJCC filing system; exposure to Client Profiles/ATO or similar case management platforms is a plus.
