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.

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.

The Michigan hit and run car accident lawyers at our firm often represent clients who were injured in Michigan hit and run accidents. The injuries in these accidents are often devastating, including including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries,knee injuries, and serious bone fractures. Motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists who are injured in Michigan car accidents involving a hit and run do have legal rights. There are two potential claims arising out of the automobile accident.
The first claim you have is for no-fault benefits, which will cover your damages for loss wages, medical expenses and household chores. Even if the other driver left the scene and you do not know if he had car insurance, but you owned your own automobile which had car insurance, or you were living with a relative had car insurance, you are able to make a claim for no-fault benefits through your automobile insurance company or your relative’s automobile insurance company.
Even if you did not have automobile insurance or you were not living with a relative who did not have automobile insurance, you are able to make a claim for no-fault benefits through the Michigan Assigned Claims Facility.
In addition to making a claim for no-fault benefits, if you had your own automobile insurance which had uninsured motorist coverage or were living with a relative who had automobile insurance which had uninsured motorist coverage, you may be able to make a claim against the insurance company for uninsured motorist coverage, which will cover all of your non-economic damages, including damages for pain and suffering and disfigurement.
Additionally, you may make a claim for any excess economic damages over and above which you are entitled to receive in no-fault benefits. There are very strict time limitations in pursuing these type of claims. Therefore, if you are involved in a Michigan hit and run accident, we recommend that you contact our experienced Michigan hit and run accident injury attorneys immediately.
