How Marko Law Turns Devastation into Justice—One Limb, One Case at a Time

One moment you’re clocking out of work. The next, your life is shattered—by a negligent driver, a faulty machine, or a slip and fall that never should’ve happened. And suddenly, you're waking up in a hospital room trying to comprehend what just happened… and what you’ve lost.

Amputation injuries are catastrophic. Not just physically—but emotionally, financially, and mentally. It's more than losing a limb. It's losing your independence, your career, your sense of identity.

At Marko Law, we don’t just understand that loss—we take it personally.

We’ve stood beside victims when everything else was ripped away. Like in the largest premises liability verdict in Michigan history—$76.7 million against Kroger. That case wasn't just about holding a grocery giant accountable. It was about sending a message: when corporations cut corners, people pay the price. We make sure they pay it back—with interest.

Michigan Law and Amputation Claims: What You Need to Know

Whether it was a car crash, medical error, or workplace disaster—if your amputation was caused by someone else’s actions (or failure to act), you may be entitled to serious compensation. And not just for medical bills, but for the full scope of what you've lost.

🔹 Negligence: When Basic Safety Isn’t Followed

Negligence is the backbone of most amputation cases. If someone had a duty to act with care—and didn’t—they can be held responsible.
Think:

• A distracted driver
• A careless forklift operator
• A business that failed to salt its icy walkway

Our job? To connect the dots between their negligence and your injury—and make sure they pay.

🔹 Product Liability: When Equipment Turns Deadly

If your injury involved defective machinery, tools, or prosthetics, the manufacturer may be liable under Michigan’s product liability laws.
We investigate:

• Flawed designs
• Manufacturing defects
• Lack of safety warnings

Profit shouldn’t come before safety. Ever.

🔹 Workers’ Compensation: When the Job Costs You a Limb

In Michigan, workers’ comp covers medical care and lost wages—but you can’t sue your employer directly. However, we dig deeper. If third parties (like equipment manufacturers or outside contractors) contributed to the injury, we go after them too.
That’s how we maximize your recovery.

🔹 Civil Rights & Police Misconduct: When Authority Abuses Power

We’ve seen it too often: excessive force, jailhouse neglect, botched medical care while in custody. If your amputation was caused by state actors, you may have a federal civil rights claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
We’ve sued cities, counties, and correctional officers—and won.

🔹 Medical Malpractice: When Doctors Fail to Act

Surgical errors. Misdiagnoses. Infections that went untreated until it was too late. When trusted professionals fall below the standard of care, the results can be life-altering.
Michigan law requires expert testimony—and a legal team who knows how to deliver it.

Who’s Liable for an Amputation Injury?

• Individuals (reckless drivers, negligent workers)
• Employers (especially when training, safety, or supervision falls short)
• Product manufacturers (when equipment or prosthetics malfunction)
• Government entities (public transit, hospitals, police)

In the Kroger case, we proved the company was liable for failing to address known hazards. Your case may involve multiple defendants—and we’ll go after all of them.

Why Evidence Matters from Day One

Your body tells part of the story. The rest comes from:

• Surveillance footage
• Incident reports
• Witness statements
• Equipment inspections
• Accident reconstructions

We move fast to issue spoliation letters and preserve every scrap of evidence—before it disappears.

What Damages Can You Recover?

💰 Economic Damages

• Surgeries and hospital bills
• Prosthetics and rehab
• Lost income and future earnings
• Modifications to your home and car

💔 Non-Economic Damages

• Pain and suffering
• Emotional trauma
• Loss of independence
• Depression and PTSD

🔥 Punitive Damages

When corporations knowingly ignore risk—like Kroger did—we push for the highest possible punitive damages to make sure they never do it again.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Loss of Consortium

Because this injury affects more than just you—spouses, kids, and loved ones suffer too.

Legal Deadlines in Michigan (Statute of Limitations)

• Negligence/Product Liability: 3 years
• Medical Malpractice: 2 years (with rare extensions)
• Claims against Government Entities: Notice required within 120 days

Miss a deadline and you could lose your case—forever. Don’t wait.

This Isn’t the End—It’s the Fight for What’s Next

You didn’t choose this. But you can choose how you fight back.

Marko Law has helped amputation survivors, sexual abuse victims, and everyday people stand tall against giants—whether it’s a global grocery chain or a negligent doctor. We bring the same fire to every case, because the stakes are always personal.

We don’t just settle cases. We win justice.
