Testimonials

Hiring Buckfire & Buckfire P.C. was the best decision I could have made for my Michigan motorcycle accident case.
Michael Smith
Waterford, MI

I have had several brain injury patients represented by attorney Daniel Buckfire and have had the occasion to meet with him... Daniel is the attorney that brain injured patients should turn to for the best possible legal representation.

When I call their office, I speak to the personal injury lawyer handling the case, not a paralegal or law clerk. This alone clearly separates them from 90% of other law firms handling injury cases.

Brain Injuries

The Michigan brain injury lawyers at Buckfire & Buckfire P.C. have considerable expertise representing individuals who have sustained traumatic brain injuries and closed head injuries. We know how to discredit the insurance doctors and company doctors who dispute the seriousness of these injuries. We are trial tested in these cases with million dollar results.

Michigan brain injury lawyers must a complete understanding as to the causes of traumatic brain injuries. A traumatic brain injury or closed head injury results when there is either an actual blow to the head or a force that causes and acceleration-deceleration movement of the head. The brain strikes the inside of the skull causing either localized or generalized damage. It is not necessary for a person to lose consciousness to suffer a brain injury, despite this contention from most highly compensated insurance company doctors. Closed head injuries occur from a number of possible causes, including automobile accidents, slip and falls accidents, motorcycle accidents, heavy machinery accidents, and other types of accidents.

Brain injuries are diagnosed all types of physicians, including neuropsychologists, neurologists, psychiatrists, and neurosurgeons. A person can suffer a significant brain injury even though and MRI or CAT scan show normal results. A diagnosis of a brain injury is often made by a neuropsychologist who administers a written battery of tests to the patient. The results of a properly administered and interpreted test are viewed as an authoritative diagnosis of the injury.

Symptoms commonly associated with a traumatic brain injury or closed head injury include the following:

· Coma

· Cognitive Impairment

· Language and Speech Impairment

· Memory Loss and Impairment

· Conduct Disorder

· Personality Disorder

· Loss of Concentration

· Loss of Problem Solving Skills

· Perception Problems

· Sleep Disturbance

· Headaches

· Blurred Vision

· Seizures

Michigan brain injury lawyers understand that these type of injuries have tremendous effect on an individual’s ability to lead his or her normal life. Changes in personality affect marriages, families, and friendships. Head injury patients are often unable to return to work and suffer a significant impairment of earnings and earning potential. Further, head injury patients often need expensive attendant care due to their condition. If the injury arose from a car accident, motorcycle accident, truck accident, bicycle accident, or pedestrian accident, there is often a Michigan No-Fault Insurance claim for benefits.

The injuries resulting from traumatic brain injuries are often permanent, cases involving brain injuries have substantial value for both jury verdicts and settlements.
