Client Testimonials
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.

Michigan Truck Accident Safety Tests | Trucks Fail Side Accident Crash Tests
I recently read an article about truck accident safety tests. The tests were conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The Insurance Institute concluded three popular pickup trucks are less safe than their counterparts of comparable size, weight, and height. The Chevy Silverado 1500, the Dodge Ram 1500, and the Nissan Titan all received poor marks in side crash tests.
Pickup trucks are generally safer than cars when the impact from a car accident comes from the side. This is because a car driver's body is in a direct line with the vehicle causing the impact. A pickup truck driver's body, on the other hand, is usually higher than the direct line of impact. However, even with the higher sitting area, these three trucks failed to provide additional safety.
These findings prove that truck drivers still need to keep a careful lookout for potential accidents while they are driving. It is also important to remember that Michigan No Fault insurance benefits and possibly a lawsuit can help compensate an accident victim for injuries caused by a car accident or truck accident.
