I was riding my bike in Detroit when a tractor-trailer truck pulled into my lane of travel and forced me to roll my bike into an oncoming lane of traffic. I suffered catastrophic injuries, including a traumatic brain injury and numerous bone fractures, which required multiple surgeries. I chose Buckfire & Buckfire for my motorcycle accident case and they settled it for $1,100,000.00. In my opinion, they are the best motorcycle accident lawyers in Michigan.

A friend then suggested that I call attorney Daniel Buckfire about my Detroit, Michigan car accident case. He spoke with me personally and understood the serious nature of my injury and began working on my case immediately. My condition worsened and I have had several surgeries. Mr. Buckfire fought hard to obtain a settlement of $1,400,000.00 for me. I cannot imagine any other attorney going to such great lengths to help a client. I am grateful for his efforts.

Boaters in Michigan are heading into prime Michigan boating season. With the July 4th holiday quickly approaching, the Michigan lakes, rivers, and ponds will be full of boaters. While boating is great recreational fun, we need to be reminded of the serious risks of injuries associated with this great sport.
A National Transporation Safety Board report demonstrates the substantial risks of boating accident deaths. In 2007, over 7,100 boaters died and most of these were on small personal boats. The majority of these deaths were due to drowning, and more than 90% of drowning victims would have lived had they been wearing a life jacket. Other deaths were mainly due to boat operator negligence.
Boat operators and owners need to take all necessary precautions to protect their own safety and the safety of other boaters, jet skiers, and swimmers. They also need to protect guests and passengers on their own boats who may not be aware of the substantial risks posed by boating and drowining accidents. This can help insure a fun and safe summer on Michigan waters.
