Personal Injury Paralegal

StaffBuffalo is working with a highly respected, fast‑paced law firm in the Buffalo, NY area to hire an experienced Personal Injury Paralegal. This is a full‑time opportunity offering a competitive salary range of $60,000–$70,000, depending on experience, and the chance to play a meaningful role in complex, high‑impact personal injury matters.

This is not an assembly‑line paralegal role. The Personal Injury Paralegal will work closely with a Senior Partner on substantive cases, supporting key decision points such as settlement strategy and trial readiness. This position is ideal for a seasoned PI professional who values ownership, precision, and accountability — and who takes pride in being the person who ensures nothing slips through the cracks.

The firm values professionalism, reliability, and strong organizational instincts. This role is best suited for someone who naturally builds “safety nets,” anticipates next steps, and does not need reminders to follow through.

This is a full‑time, in‑office position in Buffalo. Hybrid flexibility may be considered after successful onboarding and training.
