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

-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
Michigan Falls In Elderly & Fatal Fall Injuries Statistics
Our Michigan personal injury lawyers often handle cases involving fall injuries to elderly persons. Falls are very common among individuals aged sixty-five and older and cause serious injuries and death among the victims. These include falls due to defects on a property or sidewalk, due to ice and snow, or due to negligence in a hospital or nursing home.
Fatal Fall Injuries Analysis
The number of falls for elderly people in Michigan is significant and the injuries from those accidents are often severe and can sometimes cause wrongful death. The statistics were tailored by the Michigan Health and Hospital Association and the Michigan Department of Community Health.
- Between 1990 and 2002, the death rate due to elderly falls nearly doubled from 17.9 to 32.5 per 100,000 population.
- An average of 345 older Michigan residents died each year from a fall between 1999 and 2002. Given increasing fall death rates and a Michigan senior population that is growing, there may be a substantial increase in the number of these deaths in the absence of prevention.
- The rate of fatal falls increased dramatically with age. The death rate approximately doubled from one five-year age group to the next.
- Rates were 25% greater for men compared to woman; whites had twice the rate of Blacks.
Legal Rights After A Michigan Fall Injury
Individuals who suffer injuries due to a fall do have legal rights. The person, or most typically a concerned family member, should contact our office immediately after a fall accident to investigate the cause of the accident. These injuries are often not well-documented and it is necessary to do a full investigation, especially because the person does not always have the ability to remember or describe the incident. An injured person may be entitled to monetary compensation for the injuries suffered in a fall if the fall took place in a hospital and the hospital failed to take proper preventative fall measures.
