Just as a decent chef will have a kitchen of skilled individuals who can handle certain aspects of the cookery, a personal injury solicitor may well use support staff to pursue the settlements a client deserves with the greatest efficiency. One type of support staff is the paralegal.
The National Association of Paralegals states that paralegals, also known as legal assistants, make up the largest sector of the legal profession, in terms of headcount. The word is generic, referring to those workers within a law firm who are 'unadmitted' - i.e. not barristers or solicitors - although it is possible to qualify as a Licensed Paralegal, which indicates that a successful applicant has reached professional and personal standards within his or her chosen area of the law (whether that is in personal injury or some other field).
The Law Society's examination of paralegals found that they allow solicitors to focus their specialist skills where they are most needed, thus increasing efficiency of the firms they work for and, by extension, the efficiency of the legal profession in general. The fact that they are often qualified or experienced in other areas of industry can bring breadth to the depth of knowledge that lawyers provide.
Particularly when licensed, paralegals are highly valued both by personal injury lawyers and by the clients making compensation claims. Their contribution to the firm and to the claimant's chance of success can be seen as invaluable.
