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!
-Sharon A., Ann Arbor, MI
If you need a personal injury lawyer in Michigan, I highly recommend Buckfire & Buckfire P.C. They won a Saginaw nursing home neglect settlement for my father after two other law firms turned down the case.
-Jeffrey R., Detroit, MI
When I was injured in a Lansing bicycle accident, I chose the firm to represent me in my no-fault insurance lawsuit and my uninsured motorists claim. They made the insurance company pay the entire policy and all of my benefits. If you are looking for the best car accident lawyers in Michigan, call them now!
-Robert M., Lansing, MI
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!
-Pat V., Cleveland, OH
Campylobacter Bacteria| Michigan Food Poisoning Lawyer
The Michigan food poisoning lawyers at our firm frequently handle cases involving clients who have contracted Campylobacter food poisoning. These cases usually involve people who have become ill after undercooked chicken, usually at a restaurant. Even though most cases involved restaurants, Campylobacter food poisoning can also occur when schools or day-care centers served undercooked food or when individuals cooking in their own homes do not cook foods, especially chicken, all the way.
Campylobacter Food Poisoning Causes
Campylobacter food poisoning is an infection of the small intestine caused by the bacteria Campylobacter jejuni. An infection is more likely when:
- Undercooked or improperly prepared food has been consumed, especially raw or undercooked poultry, fresh produce, or unpasteurized milk
- Family members or friends have recently been infected
- There has been recent travel in an unsanitary area
Common Symptoms of Campylobacter Food Poisoning include:
- Diarrhea, including bloody diarrhea
- Cramps and abdominal pain
- Fever
There is usually an incubation period of 2 - 4 days after infection has occurred but before the symptoms appear. Symptoms generally last about one week.
Although most people recover in about one week and do not require medical treatment, there are several complications that could make an individual case of Campylobacter food poisoning more severe. Most importantly, anyone suffering from diarrhea can quickly become dehydrated, which can be a very serious health threat especially for young children, the elderly, and people who have recently been sick. Anyone suffering from Campylobacter food poisoning should drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration.
In addition, immunosuppressed people who are infected may become more vulnerable to other infections, such as meningitis, sepsis, endocarditis, and thrombophlebitis. Some patients may develop a form of arthritis. A very small percentage of people may become temporarily or, even more rarely, permanently paralized from Campylobacter food poisoning. Because of this, anyone who may be suffering from Campylobacter food poisoning should seek medical attention.
Reporting your illness, either through ReportFoodPoisoning.com, or directly to your health department, allows your health department to identify outbreaks and prevent others from becoming sick. Persons suffering illness from food poisoning can also pursue their legal rights against the restauarant or seller of food.
