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!

Malnutrition & Dehydration
Our Michigan Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse Lawyers handle cases against Michigan nursing homes and residential facilities on behalf of patients who have suffered from malnutrition and deyhdration. These can be life-threatening conditions, especially for the elderly. Many times, malnutrtion and dehydration of are signs that a patient has been neglected by the nursing home staff.Malnutrition means more than not having enough to eat. It means not getting enough vitamins and minerals into the body and can lead to a variety of serious health problems, including:
-Confusion and memory loss
-Weakness, resulting in immobility, falls , bedsores, and pneumonia
-Inability to fight off sickness
-Inability to recover from an existing illness
-Loss of muscle mass
-Impairment of organ function
-Infection
-Anemia
-Death
-Dehydration
Dehydration, or inadequate hydration, occurs when a person's loss of body fluids is more than his or her intake of fluids. Like malnutrition, dehydration can lead to a variety of serious health problems, like:
-Confusion and disorientation
-Urinary tract infections
-Bedsores
-Pneumonia
-Death
Nursing care facilities must vigilent to prevent residents from becoming malnourished or dehydrated. When a person is recognized as being at risk for dehydration, preventative measures should be taken from the offset to avoid dehydration. The failure to prevent these conditions and then treat them before they become too severe is often due to negligence and can give rise to a Michigan nursing home neglect lawsuit.
Because many nursing home residents are unable to speak up for themselves, they rely on family members and friends to bring these issues and concerns to the nursing home staff. Unfortunately, many nursing home patients have no one to speak up for them and suffer in silence. Patients who suffer these conditions may have the right to file a Michigan nursing home neglect lawsuit.
If you suspect that a nursing home resident is suffering from malnourishment or dehydration, you should contact our office as soon as possible. We will start working on the case immediately.
