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
Cruise Ship Injuries
Our Michigan cruise ship injury lawyers represent clients who sustain serious injuries while vacationing on cruise ships. It is estimated that during the winter months in the United States, there are at least thirty cruise ship departures per week in the United States alone. Over fifty-one million people have taken a cruise in the past three years. Unfortunately, as with any form of travel, accidents can happen and cruise ship passengers can get injured. The situation is magnified when it takes place aboard a cruise ship because often times adequate medical attention is not immediately available or may not be provided at all, even if available; and cruise ships will not 'divert' to the nearest port to take care of a needy passenger.
Cruise ship industry experts estimate that several thousand people per a year get seriously injured, or even killed, on cruise ships. These injuries occur due to dangerous conditions on the ship, excursion injuries, food poisoning, and injuries caused because the ship crew failed to take necessary precautions in poor weather. As a cruise ship passenger you should know that there are special laws, called maritime laws and conventions (a convention is an international law), that can apply to injuries aboard cruise ships and you should be extremely careful about discussing your injuries with anyone, including the cruise line, without first consulting an attorney knowledgeable in travel injury law.
The cruise ship companies often include special provisions and language on their tickets that limit the time in which you can file a claim and the location a claim can be filed. If you do not comply with these provisions, your claim will be lost forever. You should also be careful that the attorney you consult doesn’t just think he can settle the case with a few well written letters – we have seen this attitude and it can trap the unwary attorney and seriously harm the client.
You should be prepared to speak with a cruise ship injury lawyer who is versed in travel injury law and has experience with cruise lines in recovering on behalf of injured passengers. Because of the complexity and the intersection of personal injury law and maritime law you should speak with an cruise ship injury attorney as soon as possible to conduct an initial review of your claim.
You should also be prepared to bring with you all your cruise documents, including the cruise ticket and booklet in which the tickets were torn out of, plus any travel itineraries, saved or printed web pages and credit card receipts. These documents all play an important role in properly evaluating your case. The most common lines that our Michigan cruise ship lawyers file claims against are:
