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
If you need a personal injury lawyer in Michigan, I highly recommend Buckfire & Buckfire P.C. They won a Saginaw nursing home neglect settlement for my father after two other law firms turned down the case.

-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 Defective Road Lawyers
Our Michigan road defect lawyers handle cases for clients injured due to a defective highway, roadway, street, or sidewalk. These cases are filed against the State of Michigan and the city or county where the accident occurred. It is essential that the governmental agency responsible for maintaining the location of the injury be properly identified in order to pursue a case.
Types of Roadway Defects
Many roadway defects are due to poor maintenance or the failure to repair a defective condition. There is a wide range of roadway defects, including:
- Improper design
- Potholes and roadway defects
- Trees and debris on the roadway
- Highway shoulder drop-offs
- Failure to post warning signals and signs
- Inadequate or malfunctioning warning signals and signs
Injuries From Sidewalk and Highway Defects
The injuries suffered from a defective sidewalk or highways are often severe. They include:
- Wrongful death
- Closed head/ traumatic brain injures
- Fractures
- Back injuries
- Neck injuries
- Shoulder injuries
- Scarring
- Other traumatic injuries
Bicyclists and motorcyclists often suffer the most severe injuries in these accidents. This is especially true for potholes in the roadways and defective highway shoulders, including dangerous shoulder drop offs.
Take Photos Of Michigan Defective Road Conditions
It is essential that pictures and video, if possible, be taken of dangerous and defective conditions on highways and sidewalks. This is the best way for our Michigan road defect lawyers to prove that the condition was hazardous in your case. If the area is repaired before pictures are taken, it can be difficult to prove how dangerous the condition was on the day you were injured.
Notice Requirements in Michigan Road Defect Cases
In Michigan, a person injured due to a defective roadway has a limited period to notify the negligent government agency of the defect. These deadlines range from 60 to 120 days after the accident, depending on the agency and defect alleged. The failure to provide that notice may cause dismissal of your case. Therefore, a person injured because of a defective roadway should call a law firm experienced with sidewalk and highway defect injuries.

This means that you will not be charged any legal fees whatsoever unless we obtain a settlement or recovery for you. You have absolutely no obligation for legal fees unless we win your case.
