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

-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!

Michigan Truck Accident Regulations
Our Michigan truck accident lawyers handling trucking accident and tractor-trailer cases often rely on federal trucking regulations to establish negligent driving by a truck driver involved in a Michigan truck accident. In Michigan, there are over 5,000 truck accidents every year and over 100 truck accident fatalities a year. Personal injury lawyers handling truck accident cases must be aware that these are different than typical car accident cases.
The attorney for the injury victim relies on ordinary rules of negligence in accident cases in addition to federal truck driving regulations set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The Administration has set specific regulations for the operation of trucks, semi-trailers, and tractor-trailers on highways and freeways throughout the United States. This includes proper licensing, driver qualifications, driving time restrictions, hazardous material rules, and maintaining accurate records and logs.
In a truck accident lawsuit, the attorney for the injured person can obtain these records to determine whether any of the federal regulations have been violated by the truck driver or the trucking company. This evidence is very useful in establishing liability against the driver and the company. In many states, violations of this Act can result in punitive or exemplary damages against the trucking company.
