Help Injured Clients Move Forward
Since 1993, the attorneys of Isaacs & Isaacs have fought for injured victims in the states of Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio. With over $2 BILLION collected for clients, Darryl Isaacs and the Isaacs team continue to call out big insurance companies, businesses, and individuals looking to make money off from victims injured in car crashes, truck accidents, commercial vehicles accidents, and wrongful death cases. We cannot undo the incident, but we can do everything in our power to make people whole in the eyes of the law by demanding justice and fair compensation.
Isaacs & Isaacs is seeking an experienced Personal Injury Pre-Litigation Attorney to join our growing Louisville-area practice.
In this role, you will manage a high-volume caseload of primarily motor vehicle accident claims from initial investigation through settlement or transfer to litigation.

- Guide clients through each stage of the claims process
- Evaluate case value and develop effective settlement strategies
- Prepare and submit persuasive settlement demands
- Negotiate settlements with insurance companies and defense representatives
- Coordinate with medical providers, experts, and other outside professionals
- Identify cases that require litigation and collaborate with the litigation team to ensure an effective transition
- Participate in relevant training programs, seminars, and professional-development opportunities

- Strong understanding of personal injury claims, insurance practices, and applicable laws
- Demonstrated settlement-negotiation and case-evaluation skills
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Strong organization, time-management, and follow-through
- Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with attorneys and legal support staff
- Commitment to providing exceptional client service
Preferred Qualification
- Bilingual proficiency in English and Spanish
