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.

Confused About Your Legal Rights After A Car Accident, Personal Injury, or Medical Malpractice Claim in Michigan? We Answer Your Questions Here!
Q: If a family member died from an auto accident in Michigan, what kind of claims can family members make against the driver and owner of the car that caused the death?
A: This is called a Wrongful Death Case and can be brought by the personal representative of the estate, usually a family member. The claim can be made against the driver and the owner of the car that caused the accident in Michigan. If the other driver or owner of the car did not have insurance, an Uninsured Motorist Claim can be filed if this coverage exists.
Family members of the decedent can sue for the loss of companionship, loss of services, loss of income, and other losses. Typically, the settlement is shared by members of the family and the amount of each share is either agreed upon by the family members or decided by the judge.
For more information about your rights regarding a Michigan car accident, you should request our book "The Ultimate Michigan Car Accident Handbook," written by Daniel L. Buckfire. The book sells for $14.95 on Amazon but Daniel will send it to you for FREE.
