Client Testimonials
I was riding my motorcycle in Detroit when a tractor-trailer truck forced me to roll into an oncoming lane of traffic. I suffered a traumatic brain injury and bone fractures, which required surgeries. I chose Buckfire & Buckfire for my case and they settled it for $1,100,000.00. In my opinion, they are the best motorcycle accident lawyers in Michigan.
- Michael J. Smith, Waterford, MI
I chose Larry Buckfire as my medical malpractice lawyer for a wrongful death lawsuit against the VA Hospital relating to my father's death. He settled the case before filing a lawsuit. I give him the top rating for a Michigan medical malpractice attorney. He is the best!

I contacted the law firm after researching the internet for a Michigan medical malpractice lawyer. My mother died during surgery at a Lansing hospital. Larry Buckfire proved that an anesthesia error was the cause of her death. We are grateful for his hard work and the substantial settlement he won in our wrongful death lawsuit.
-Sherrie H., Chicago, IL
After suffering serious injuries in an Ann Arbor car accident, I wanted the top-rated Michigan auto accident attorney to handle my case. I chose Daniel Buckfire. Every time I was with other lawyers in Michigan, someone would say how lucky we were to have the "best". So thanks again!

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.
