Amputations

Life after limb loss requires resources, planning, and real compensation

An amputation changes how you move, work, and live. Medical needs are immediate and long term. Prosthetics require careful fitting, training, and replacement over time. Homes and vehicles often need modifications. Carma Legal builds the medical and economic proof that shows the true cost of limb loss and pursues full compensation in Nevada and North Carolina. We prepare each case with the discipline needed to stand up in negotiation and in court.

Frequently asked questions
I do not have a prosthesis yet. Can I still pursue my claim?
Yes. We work with your care team to model projected prosthetic and therapy needs so the settlement funds what lies ahead.

Preexisting conditions do not automatically defeat a claim. We prove how the incident caused the need for amputation or worsened your condition.

Strict deadlines apply and vary by state and claim type. Contact us quickly so your rights are preserved.
