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.

Michigan uninsured motorist car accident lawyers often represent clients injured in car accidents, pedestrian accidents, bicycle accidents, and motorcycle accidents in which the neglient driver did not have a liability insurance policy. Even in these cases, the injured person can often make an unisured motorist's claim. Uninsured motorist benefits are contractual benefits a person is entitled to if they are involved in a motor vehicle accident where the at fault party is uninsured.
Uninsured benefits are based upon the insurance policy, which means that the terms of the insurance contract control the right to benefits. The policy that provides the uninsured motorist benefits can be a auto insurance policy issue to the injured person, a member of the injured person's family or household, or some other policy.
It is always wise to have an experienced Michigan uninsured motorist claim lawyer immediately investigate your car accident claims, including the review of your insurance contract. Some insurance companies, such as Farm Bureau, put a one year contractual provision in their insurance contracts which prevents injured victims from bringing uninsured motorist claims after the one year anniversary of the car accident. The Michigan Courts have upheld these shortened contractual provisions.
There are very strict time limitations in pursuing this type of claim. Therefore, if you are involved in a Michigan auto accident with a Michigan uninsured motorist, we recommend that you contact an attorney immediately.
