Workplace Injuries

Workplace Injuries

Serious harm on the job. Strategic claims that protect your future

Work should be safe. When a jobsite, vehicle, machine, or property is unsafe, the results can be life changing. Workers’ compensation may provide basic benefits, but it rarely covers the true cost of a serious injury. Carma Legal identifies every responsible party, coordinates benefits, and pursues full compensation in Nevada and North Carolina. Every case is personal. We do not wait for justice. We go get it.

Workers’ compensation and third party claims

Workers’ compensation pays defined benefits without proving fault. It helps, but it does not pay pain and suffering and it often limits wage loss. If a company or person other than your direct employer contributed to the hazard, you may also bring a separate civil claim for full damages. Carma Legal coordinates both paths and manages liens so your net recovery is protected.
Common third party defendants

How we prove responsibility

Breach

Causation

Medical and engineering experts connect the unsafe practice or defect to your injuries and explain why prior conditions do not excuse the harm.
