Why This Role Matters
The QA Case Manager plays a critical role in ensuring that pre-litigation cases are worked correctly, consistently, and in accordance with firm standards. This position exists to identify issues early, prevent downstream problems, and protect case value.
The QA Case Manager carries a reduced personal caseload and provides advisory quality assurance review to other case managers. The role does not include formal supervisory authority. Instead, it functions as a senior subject-matter expert who directs corrective action, resolves issues within scope, and escalates unresolved or systemic concerns to firm leadership.
This is a terminal SME role intended for an experienced personal injury case manager.
