Michigan Hunting Accident Lawyers | Tree Stand Injuries

Now that hunting season is here, the risk from tree stand injuries is back. Although non-hunters are often quick to criticize hunters and frequently blame them for their own injuries, the truth is that usually if a hunter is injured, it is someone else's fault. Tree stand injuries are no exception.

When a hunter is injured on a tree stand, the injury can happen for a variety of reasons. One of the most important is that the tree stand itself is defective. In 2007, for example, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reported that more than 9000 tree stands were recalled after securing pins failed. A very large number of these defective products were discovered only after their owners had suffered injuries from serious falls.

Generally, using a safety harness can help you avoid falls and other injuries from the tree stand, but sometimes the harness is also defective. In a situation like that, the hunter can be doing everything possible to avoid injury but may still end up injured.

In addition, sometimes a hunter is injured even though the tree stand and harness are working properly. Often, these injuries occur as a result of someone's negligence. The injured hunter could bring a lawsuit against the negligent person to seek compensation for his injuries.

Testimonials

The insurance company refused to pay my benefits. Mr. Buckfire filed a lawsuit against them and made them pay every penny that they owed... Every time I see my doctor, I thank her again for the referral to Buckfire & Buckfire.

Because of his efforts, we proved that the other driver was at fault and the driver's insurance company paid a significant settlement for our injury claims... Hiring his firm to represent my son and myself was the best decision I could have possibly made. Many thanks for the great work.

My husband died when a truck left the roadway and struck him. He was off the shoulder of the roadway helping another motorist pull his car out of a snow bank The work that they did helped me settle my Michigan wrongful death case for $1,600,000.00. Their knowledge of law was second to none and they hired the best experts to prove my case.
