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!

-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!

Veterans Administration Malpractice Cases
Our Michigan medical malpractice lawyers often review cases against Veterans Administration Hospitals (VA Hospitals) and their physicians on behalf of both patients and their families.
What is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice, often called medical negligence, is the term used to describe a wrong committed by a doctor or other medical professional who caused them bodily harm. Medical negligence is much more than the physician or other health care provider making a simple mistake. Medical malpractice occurs when a health care provider improperly treats a patient or performs treatment in a negligent manner. Many times, a physician or hospital fails to use appropriate treatment methods or neglects the patient. The results of this inadequate and inappropriate care can cause significant permanent injuries and even death.
Common Examples of Medical Malpractice
Injuries commonly resulting from medical malpractice include the following:
-
Misdiagnosed cancer (lung cancer, cervical cancer, breast cancer)
-
Failure to diagnose conditions, like heart conditions
-
Misread x-rays and pap smears
-
Emergency room error
-
Medication errors
-
Surgical errors
-
Anesthesia errors
Michigan Veterans Administration Hospitals
There are several Veterans Administration Hospitals (VA Hospitals) in Michigan. These include:
John Dingell Veterans Administration Hospital, Detroit, MI
VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System (VAAAHS)
Battle Creek VA Medical Center
VA Hospital, Allen Park, Michigan
Albert E. Lutz VA Medical Center, Saginaw, Michigan
Iron Mountain VA Medical Center, Iron Mountain, Michigan
VA Great Lakes Health Care System
The Rules for Veterans Administration Cases
The laws for filing Veterans Administration Hospital medical malpractice cases are different than typical medical malpractice cases against hospitals and doctors. To file a lawsuit against a VA Hospital or physician, the case must be filed under the Federal Tort Claims Act. This law has special requirements and provisions that must be met and the failure to satisfy these requirements may destroy your cases.
Therefore, if you suspect that Veterans Administration Hospital medical malpractice has occurred, you should call our office immediately. Our medical malpractice lawyers will start working on your case immediately, gathering the medical records and evidence to prove and win your case.
