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.

Neonatal & Newborn Distress Malpractice Lawsuits

Our Michigan birth injury lawyers handle cases involving neonatal malpractice claims. A neonatologist must carefully monitor the baby for signs of distress before delivery. It is essential to properly monitor the newborn for any signs of distress. If there is any evidence of fetal distress or newborn distress, the physician and nursing staff must initiate treatment quickly to avoid permanent harm or injury to the baby.

In some instances, the doctors or nursing staff fail to timely recognize this distress and this can cause significant harm. The failure to recognize distress can be the result of many reasons, ranging from an understaffed neonatal department or simply just negligence in failing to properly monitor the baby. When this happens, the doctors and hospital can be subject to a medical malpractice lawsuit.

Neonatal Medical Malpractice Cases

Neonatal medical malpractice cases often result in significant settlements and jury verdicts because of the cost of care for the special needs of the child throughout his or her lifetime. This includes costs for medical expenses, special education, specialized housing and transportation, and supervision.
