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

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 Nursing Home Wrongful Death Lawsuits
Our Michigan nursing home lawyers handle wrongful death lawsuits for family members who have lost a loved one in a nursing home. These lawsuits are filed against the nursing home facility and nursing home doctors whose negligence in their care of the resident caused a premature and untimely death.
This type of lawsuit is brought under the Michigan Wrongful Death Statute. The wrongful death lawsuits seek compensation for the family members and aim to prevent such a tragedy from happening to another resident. Typically, the family will select a personal representative to bring the lawsuit for them. Other family members still participate in the case and work together to assist the attorney.
When the wrongful death lawsuit settles, it is the judge who determines how much each family member will receive from the settlement. The judge tries to make sure that everyone receives a fair share. No settlement money can be distributed to anyone until a court order is entered by the judge specifying the payment to each family member.
Types of Nursing Home Wrongful Death Lawsuits
Wrongful death lawsuits for nursing home deaths arise from a number of different types of abuse and neglect. These include:
- Bedsores and pressure sores
- Nursing home infections
- Medication mistakes
- Doctor's errors
- Dehydration and malnutrition
- Falls from beds, chairs, and toilets
- Choking and asphyxiation
- Strangulation and bed rail entanglement
- Wandering away from the nursing home
- Burn injuries and scalding burn injuries
