Mattera for Workers' Compensation Defense

High-volume, document-intensive caseloads with multiple parties per case. Mattera brings order to your inbox.

The challenges you face every day

Common pain points for Workers' Compensation Defense firms that Mattera is built to solve.

Extreme case volume per attorney

Workers' comp defense attorneys often carry 150–300+ active cases. Each generates a steady stream of WCAB notices, medical reports, and correspondence from carriers, applicants, and DEU.

Multiple parties, one inbox

Every case involves the employer, insurance carrier, applicant's attorney, medical providers, and WCAB. All their communications land in one inbox with no automatic sorting.

WCAB deadlines are strict

Missing a WCAB hearing date, a discovery deadline, or a response to a DWC filing can result in adverse findings. These deadlines are often buried in routine correspondence.

Medical reports need immediate review

QME and AME reports, Utilization Review decisions, and treatment authorization requests require timely action. They arrive as email attachments mixed with everything else.

How Mattera helps

AI-powered email management designed for Workers' Compensation Defense workflows.

Mattera recognizes WCAB filings, DWC forms, QME reports, AME reports, Utilization Review decisions, and dozens more workers' comp document types — routing each to the correct case.

Track WCAB deadlines automatically
