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!

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.

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!

Michigan Gastric Bypass Surgery & Bariatric Surgery Cases
Our Michigan gastric bypass surgery malpractice lawyers represent clients who suffered injuries in a gastric-bypass surgery. Gastric-Bypass surgery is an invasive surgical procedure used by surgeons on obese patients to cause weight loss and reduce appetite. The surgery is an elective surgery but often deemed a medical necessity for morbidly obese patients.
The gastric-bypass surgery involves the stapling, banding, or rerouting of the stomach and small intestines so that food and nutrition bypass (skip around) the usual physiological route that food naturally travels through the body. The most commonly performed type of gastric bypass surgery procedure involves the surgical creation of a small stomach pouch out of a portion of the stomach, and then attaching the small stomach pouch directly to the small intestine, thereby bypassing a large part of the stomach and duodenum. Not only is the newly surgically created stomach pouch too small to hold large amounts of food, but by skipping the duodenum, the body's absorption of dietary fat is reduced substantially.
Like all surgical procedures, a gastric bypass surgery is not without risk or complication. The two most common major complications of gastric bypass surgery are bleeding or leakage of gastric fluid and pulmonary embolism. While bleeding or leakage of gastric fluid occurs more commonly than pulmonary embolism, the chance of death from pulmonary embolism is much higher.
The most common major complication of gastric bypass surgery is the leakage of gastric (stomach) fluid or bleeding into the abdominal cavity (peritoneum). Blood or gastric fluid leaking into the peritoneum can cause infection and resultant inflammation of the peritoneum, a condition called peritonitis. The prompt diagnosis and proper treatment of peritonitis is essential. A doctor or surgeon's failure to diagnose and treat peritonitis in a timely manner may result in serious injury or wrongful death.
Our Michigan medical malpractice lawyers understand the important issues in medical malpractice claims involving gastric bypass surgery. If you suffered injuries as a result of a gastric bypass surgery, you may be entitled to receive compensation for your injuries, including payment of medical bills for past and future treatment, pain and suffering, loss of time from work, reimbursement for continuing care, as well as other services. Cases involving death give rise to a Michigan Wrongful Death Claim.
