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!

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!

Postal Truck Accidents & Federal Automobile Accident Cases
If you have been injured in a Michigan accident with a United States Postal Truck or other federally owned car or vehicle, you need to be aware that there is an entirely different set of laws for filing those cases. The failure to comply with those laws and requirements will completely destroy your case. These laws are different for these type of car accidents because the federal government is the party that must be sued in the lawsuit.
Car & Truck Accident Under Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA)
Under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) notice of an injury claim must be made within 2 years of the car accident or truck accident to the appropriate Federal Agency that caused the automobile accident, like the U.S. Postal service. This is shorter than the three year statute of limitations for filing a car accident case in Michigan. Notice must be made by completing an administrative claim form, also known as a Form 95. You must properly complete the form for all claims, including both personal injury claims and property damage claims. If the claim is denied, you have only six months from the date of the denial to to file your lawsuit against that federal agency.
Finding Your Federal Tort Claims (FTCA) Accident Lawyer
Victims of auto accidents do have legal rights and should pursue them immediately after the accident. When choosing your Federal Tort Claims Act lawyer, it is key to choose the right lawyer so that you may receive a fair settlement. Your car accident lawyer can also help you receive all of your No-Fault Insurance benefits, including medical expenses, lost wages, attendant care services, and other benefits.
Attorney Daniel L. Buckfire is rated "Superb" by the top lawyer internet rating service and has achieved the highest possible rating for ability and integrity in the legal profession.
