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.

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.

People injured in a train accident often have claims for their personal injuries. If a motor vehicle is involved, the injured person can file a No-Fault Insurance claims for medical expenses, lost wages, and other benefits. Families of people who are killed in train accidents can often file a Michigan Wrongful Death Claim. Other cases involve injuries to railroad workers, also known as FELA cases.
Lawsuits are often filed for passengers of trains who are injured due to the negligence of the train company or a defect in the tracks or rails. The train company is liable for these injuries. Other cases are filed by individuals who were not on the train, but rather were in other cars, on motorcycles or bicycles, or pedestrians and were injured due to the negligence of the train, or against another person if they were a passenger in a motor vehicle.
Lawsuits for train accident cases are most often filed against these companies:
Amtrak
CSX
Union Pacific
Norfolk Southern
CONRAIL
Burlington Northern Santa Fe
Canadian Pacific
Canadian National
Kansas City Southern
Illinois Central
It is important to hire a train accident attorney immediately after the accident to begin the investigation of the claim. The train company and operator often deny fault for the accident and it is necessary to interview witnesses and take photographs as soon as possible after the accident. If you or a loved one has been injured in a train accident, you should contact our law firm immediately.
