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.
- Michael J. Smith, Waterford, MI
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.

Drowning Cases
Michigan dwrowing injury lawyers frequently represent clients who have suffered drowning deaths and injuries. A detailed knowledge and understanding of these type of deaths and injuries is essential to achieving the best possible settlement for the drowning victim and his or her family. Many of these cases are wrongful death cases.
Drowning deaths and injuries frequently occur due to the negligence of others. Depending on the circumstances, the drowning victim and his or her family may have legal rights to be compensated, including money damages for pain and suffering, disability, medical bills, and lost wages.
Drowning is death by suffocation that occurs within the first 24 hours after being submerged in water. Near drowning is survival or temporary survival that lasts longer than the 24-hour period after submersion. For every drowning, there are 4 near drownings. Most drownings occur within a short distance of safety and can be prevented.
Drowning claims nearly 8,000 lives annually. It is the fourth leading cause of accidental death in the United States. For children, it is the second leading cause of accidental death for school-age children and the number one cause for preschoolers.
Near drowning can lead to permanent brain injuries and lifetime emotional problems. Witnesses to a drowning also may experience significant psychological problems.
Many times, a drowning may be caused by the negligence of others, including unsupervised swimming, boating accidents, negligent design and maintenance of a swimming pool, and reckless behavior. It is essential to hire a Michigan drowning injury lawyer who has a complete understanding of these cases in order to achieve the best result for the client.
