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!
-Sharon A., Ann Arbor, MI
If you need a personal injury lawyer in Michigan, I highly recommend Buckfire & Buckfire P.C. They won a Saginaw nursing home neglect settlement for my father after two other law firms turned down the case.

-Robert M., Lansing, MI
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!

Michigan Back Injury Lawyers| Back Injury Overview
The Michigan back injury and spinal cord injury lawyers at Buckfire & Buckfire are experts on the human back and the injuries it can sustain. The back consists of three major components:
- Vertebrae, the bones of the spine
- Discs, that separate the vertebrae
- Muscles and ligaments, that hold the discs and vertebrae together
Vertebrae
The vertebrae are 33 interlocking bones that make up the spine. The spine is divided into five segments: the cervical spine (neck), the thoracic spine (upper and middle back), the lumbar spine (lower back), the sacrum (pelvis/hip area), and the coccyx (tailbone). In each segment, the vertebrae are numbered from top to bottom.
Discs
The discs are located in between each of the 33 vertebrae. Each disc is a capsule of connective tissue surrounding a soft jelly-like center. The discs provide flexibility to the spine and provided cushioning by absorbing shock as the bones move.
Ligaments
The ligaments are strong, tough, rope-like connective fibers. They connect the vertebrae and discs to each other and to the surrounding muscles, cartilage, joints, and organs.
Back injuries are the most common source of back pain, discomfort, and lack of maneuverability. Many back injuries can occur from routine lifting of heavy objects. More severe injuries can be caused by falling and landing hard on a part of the back or in car accidents or other accidents.
If you have a back injury from a car accident or other accident, you should seek medical attention. Symptoms sometimes do not immediately appear and a doctor's expert diagnosis is required to prescribe the proper course of treatment.
