Mobile Workers’ Compensation Attorney

If you have been injured at work, you are likely dealing with medical bills, lost wages and uncertainty about your future. These challenges can feel overwhelming, especially when trying to navigate the complex workers’ compensation system in Mobile, Alabama, on your own.

I am Richard E. Mather, and I started Richard E. Mather, Attorney at Law, to help injured workers in Mobile get the compensation they deserve. As your Mobile workers’ compensation attorney, I provide experienced representation and personalized attention to every case. With my guidance, we will work together to secure the benefits you need to recover and protect your financial future.

Understanding Workers’ Compensation Benefits

If you are injured on-the-job, Alabama law provides specific benefits to cover your medical treatment, lost wages and rehabilitation costs. As your Mobile workers’ compensation attorney, I help you navigate the claims process and fight for the full compensation you deserve. These benefits can include ongoing medical care, temporary disability payments and compensation for permanent injuries.

Common Workplace Injuries And Accidents

A workplace accident can happen in any industry and cause severe, life-changing injuries. Understanding the most frequent causes helps us build stronger cases and prevent future accidents. Here are some common workplace injuries I handle:

  • Back and neck injuries from heavy lifting
  • Falls from heights or on slippery surfaces
  • Machinery accidents and equipment malfunctions
  • Repetitive stress injuries
  • Vehicle accidents while driving for work
  • Exposure to harmful substances

When you suffer a work injury, the impact extends beyond physical pain to affect your ability to earn a living and support your family. As your Mobile workers’ compensation attorney, I work diligently to help you receive proper medical care and fair compensation.

Third-Party Claims In Workplace Accidents

Beyond workers’ compensation, workplace injuries may involve claims against other parties whose negligence contributed to your accident. This might include equipment manufacturers, property owners or other contractors. These additional claims can provide compensation beyond what workers’ compensation offers.

Handling Denied Claims

Receiving a denied workers’ comp claim can be devastating, but it is not the end of your case. Many valid claims are initially denied. I know how to appeal these denials effectively, gathering the right evidence and presenting compelling arguments to support your right to benefits.
