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.

Emergency Room Malpractice Cases

Our Michigan medical malpractice lawyers handle cases involving injuries resulting from medical errors at hospital emergency rooms. Emergency rooms are busy, stressful environments full of patients who need medical attention immediately. The doctors and other health care professionals that work there are often highly dedicated and well-trained. However, there are still preventable medical errors that occur in emergency rooms due to medical medical malpractice.

A patient who suffers injuries from a preventable medical error at a hospital emergency room may have a valid case for a medical malpractice lawsuit.

Common emergency room errors include:

  • Failing to diagnose an infection, like meningitis
  • Failing to diagnose appendicitis or bowel obstructions
  • Failing to diagnose a heart attack
  • Failing to order x-rays, CT Scans, MRIs, or other radiology tests
  • Failing to consult with a specialist
  • Failing to order necessary tests
  • Failing to treat any condition that was previously properly diagnosed
  • Failing to admit a patient to the hospital
  • Discharging a patient before a proper medical workup
  • Frequently, emergency room malpractice cases involve mistakes related to the treatment and diagnosis of medical problems with children and infants. Many emergency room physicians simply do not have the necessary training in pediatric medicine and as a result, fail to properly treat childhood illnesses. This can result in permanent injury and harm to a child.

    The injuries suffered from Emergency Room Malpractice are often significant. To learn more about medical malpractice cases in Michigan, request our FREE BOOK, "The Ultimate Michigan Medical Malpractice Handbook." Or contact us to discuss your case.
