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.

Evaluating Your Lansing Medical Malpractice Claim
A poor outcome or unsatisfactory result during a hospitalization or procedure does not necessarily mean that there was medical malpractice or negligence by the medical provider. Many procedures have inherent risks and many illnesses have poor outcomes even with the best medical attention. We perform a detailed analysis of your treatment to determine whether you have been the victim of medical malpractice. Our experienced medical malpractice attorneys will discuss your case with you, review your records, and advise you whether you have a legitimate claim for medical negligence.
Time Deadlines for Filing a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit
You should be aware that there are strict time limitations for filing medical malpractice suits in Michigan. In general, you must file your medical malpractice claim within two years of the injury or negligent medical treatment. There are some exceptions for cases involving minors, wrongful death cases, and other situations, but you need to discuss these with a lawyer as soon as possible. If you wait too long to contact a lawyer, your claim may be destroyed.
