EL​/PL Portal Claims Handler | Personal Injury

EL/PL Portal Claims Handler | Personal Injury | Legal 500 Newcastle upon Tyne | £25,000 - £30,000 | Hybrid working available If you've got solid EL/PL experience and you're looking for a role where you can get stuck into your own caseload, this could be worth a look. I've got an opportunity with an established specialist Personal Injury firm in Newcastle that's looking to add an experienced EL/PL Portal Claims Handler to the team.

The role is very much about running your own claims and keeping them moving — from the initial notification through to settlement, with the usual mix of liability, medical evidence, valuation and negotiation along the way. You'll be dealing with things like: EL/PL claims through the Portal CNFs, limitation and liability Medical evidence and valuation of claims Loss of earnings, care and other special damages Negotiating settlement and progressing claims through the relevant Portal stages Part 8 and Stage 3 work where required Preparing hearing briefs and bundles Liaising with insurers, other solicitors, experts and clients They're looking for someone who already hasat least a year's experience in EL/PL Personal Injury and understands how to manage a busy Portal caseload.

You don't need to have done absolutely everything above, but you should be comfortable picking up a file, knowing what needs to happen next and getting on with it. It's a role that should suit someone who enjoys the practical side of Personal Injury claims handling, wants responsibility for their own files and is looking for a solid team environment rather than a production-line setup.

If EL/PL is your area and you're open to hearing about something new, it's worth a confidential conversation. For a confidential discussion and to learn more about the firm behind the opportunity, please contact Eoghan at QED Legal Recruitment Ltd.
