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.

Cases Against Drunk Drivers and Bars


The Michigan drunk driver accident lawyers at our firm represent injury victims against drunk drivers and the establishment that served the alcohol. Motorists and pedestrians injured by Michigan drunk and intoxicated drivers have legal rights against the negligent driver and often also against the bar, restaurant, or establishment that served the drunk driver the alcohol that caused the intoxication.  This is called a Dram Shop case.  The establishment that served the alcohol can be sued for furnishing an intoxicated person alcohol before they got behind the wheel of an automobile.

Act Quickly in a Dram Shop Case

The Michigan Dram shop law requires that an investigation into the accident begin as soon as possible. It also requires that the bar or restaurant in question be notified within a very narrow period. Buckfire & Buckfire, P.C., hires private investigators to interview witnesses and other bar patrons to prove that the establishment served alcohol to an intoxicated motorist shortly before the accident. A delay in beginning this investigation may result difficulty in tracking down these witnesses later, or may mean that the time limit for naming the bar expires. Therefore, a person injured because of a drunk driver should call an attorney immediately to begin working on the case. This also applies to families seeking compensation for the wrongful death of a loved one in a fatal drunk driving accident.

Contact an Experienced Michigan Dram Shop lawyer

The law changes frequently in matters related to drunk driving and dram shop cases. That makes it essential to contact a knowledgeable lawyer who stays up to date with evolving law. If you have been injured by a drunk driver, contact the Michigan law firm that focuses on dram shop cases. Call Buckfire & Buckfire, P.C., Attorneys at Law. Their attorneys and investigators will start working on your case immediately and begin gathering the witness statements and evidence to prove and win your case.
