With a commitment to working on a contingency fee basis, clients only pay when they win, reinforcing the firm's dedication to success and client satisfaction.
We specialize in a broad range of personal injury cases, from automobile accidents to wrongful death claims.

The Workers' Compensation Paralegal position at Houser Injury Law exists to manage and advance the firm's dedicated workers' compensation practice. Following the retirement of the previous paralegal, this role is essential to ensure specialized, focused attention on workers' compensation cases, contributing significantly to the firm's mission to provide expert legal representation and maintain high client service standards. This role supports the firm's legal strategy by independently managing cases, improving departmental organization, and enhancing client satisfaction through innovation and efficiency.
What you’ll do:

- Attorney Support: Act as the primary operational partner to the Workers' Compensation Attorney, Cameron Simmons, ensuring files are organized and ready for review.
- Client Communication: Embrace written communication tools like email and case management software to keep clients informed, reducing unnecessary phone calls.
- Relationship Building: Maintain responsiveness and build trust with clients, requesting feedback and Google reviews from satisfied clients.
- Technology Utilization: Embrace and utilize technology such as Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat Pro, and case management software for efficient document management and communication.
- Independent Problem Solving: Identify and implement next steps independently, maintaining momentum on cases and anticipating problems before they arise.
- Expanded Case Support: If the role develops into a full-time position, assist with additional case support responsibilities such as medical records requests, lien management, and related administrative support.
What we’re looking for:
- Workers' Compensation Expertise: Several years of dedicated experience in workers' compensation, with the ability to contribute immediately without extensive training.
- Independent Worker: Ability to own and manage the firm's workers' compensation department, proactively managing cases and following through consistently.
- Technological Proficiency: Comfort with Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat Pro, and other document management systems; willingness to learn new software quickly.
- Excellent Communication Skills: Demonstrated skills in written communication, prompt responsiveness, and documentation of conversations to keep clients informed.
- Organizational Skills: Strong ability to maintain accurate file documentation, organized case records, and clear communication history to ensure efficient case progress.
Why you should work here:
- Autonomy and Ownership: Opportunity to own and shape the firm's workers' compensation practice, with high levels of independence and decision-making power.
- Leadership Support: Work closely with dedicated leadership and engage in meaningful growth as the department evolves.
- Impactful Work: Provide significant contributions to client satisfaction and firm success through specialized legal practice.
- Collaborative Environment: Work within a close-knit team that values ideas, innovation, and continuous improvement.
Additional perks:
- Flexible Structure: The current workers’ compensation caseload is expected to support approximately 20–25 hours per week. The firm is open to considering either part-time or full-time arrangements depending on candidate fit, experience level, and whether additional responsibilities are added over time.
- Full-Time Benefits Eligibility: For full-time employees, benefits may become available after the 90-day introductory period, including healthcare eligibility, PTO, and sick leave.
- Potential Part-Time Perks: For part-time employees, medical benefits are not currently included, though paid holidays may be discussed depending on the final schedule and employment arrangement.
- Location: This role is primarily based in Wilmington, NC, with Goldsboro, NC considered as a secondary location depending on candidate fit and business needs.
- Career Growth: Opportunity to help strengthen, organize, and potentially grow the workers’ compensation department over time.
