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.

They made the insurance company pay the entire policy and all of my benefits. If you are looking for the best car accident lawyers in Michigan, call them now!
-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!
-Pat V., Cleveland, OH
Scar and Disfigurement Injuries
Michigan personal injury lawyers often seek compensation for clients who have suffered a scar or other disgifuring injury in an accident. These injuries are frequently seen in burn injury cases, dog bite cases, car accident cases, motorcycle accident cases, and medical malpractice cases. It is important to understand the impact that a scar has on the client in order to achieve the best possible settlement for the client.
A scar is a permanent patch of skin that grows over a wound. Scarring is an essential part of the natural healing process following any injury to our skin. The type and severity of the scar depends on many factors, some of which are unrelated to the injury and involve our genetic predisposition. The severity of the injury also plays an important role in the severity of the scar.
Several factors go into determining the "settlement value" of a scar. These depend on the location of the scar, the size of the scar, the permanency of the scar, and the available treatment for the scar. A dog bite scar on the cheek of a young girl or teenager will most likely have more of an impact on the way the victim perceives herself, how others perceive, and how it affects her self-esteem. This is much different than a grown man with a scar on his arm, even though this type of scar is also compensable. Scars and disfiguring injuries also serve as a constant reminder to the injured person of the event or accident that caused the injury.
Many scars heal over time or can be improved though medical procedures or surgery, like scar revisions, dermabrasion, and even laser treatment from a plastic surgeon or dematologist. An accident victim who undergoes one of these procedures to reduce or eliminate a scar is still entitled to be compensated for the scar while it is visible, for the pain related to the treatment, and for the expense of the treatment.
If you or a family member have sustained a serious scar injury, you should contact our office to determine whether a Personal Injury claim should be pursued. We have obtained significant settlements and verdicts for scar injury clients.
