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.

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!

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!

Fetal Distress & Malpractice
Our Michigan medical malpractice lawyers handle cases involving birth injuries resulting from medical errors by physicians and hospital in diagnosing and treating fetal distress. Fetal distress generally refers to fetal hypoxia, or lack of oxygen. It can lead to seizures, mental retardation, cerebral palsy, and learning disabilities.
This type of medical negligence can lead to serious and catastrophic injuries to the mother and to an unborn baby and can give rise to a Michigan birth injury malpractice lawsuit.
Common errors diagnosing fetal distress include:
- Failing to perform appropriate monitoring of the fetus
- Failing to properly interpret the monitoring results
- Failing to identify the signs of fetal distress
- Failing to order necessary tests
- Failing to recommend appropriate treatment options
- Failing to consult with a specialist
- Failing to perform a cesarean section
These medical errors can lead to permanent and irreversible damage to the unborn child and can lead to a lifetime of special needs and accommodation the child. This include special education costs, medical costs, housing expenses, and other significant costs. If a medical provider was negligent in diagnosing or treating fetal distress, this can give rise to a medical malpractice lawsuit where compensation can be sought for both the child and the family.
