Client Testimonials
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.
- Michael J. Smith, Waterford, MI
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 Truck Accident Lawyers Representing Victims of Semi-Truck and Tractor-Trailer Truck Accidents
Our Michigan truck accident lawyers at our firm fully investigate the causes of a truck accident for our clients. While some of the causes of truck accidents may seem obvious, like simply rear-ending another vehicle, there are numerous other truck accident causes that may not seem so obvious.
Truck Accident Causes
The most common of causes of truck accidents are the following:
- Fatigue, sleepy or tired drivers driving too many hours without rest
- Truck drivers drinking alcohol or drug use
- Running off the road
- Failure to yield the right of way
- Unsafe safety systems, reflectors, lights and other warning devices
- Overloaded Truck
- Oversized Truck
- Lack of training on the part of the truck driver
- Poorly maintained brakes on the truck
- Reckless driving
- Driving in conditions of poor visibility due to smoke, fog, snow or rain
- Poorly maintained tires
- Speeding
- Wide turns
Truck Accident Injuries
Our Michigan truck accident lawyers also have extensive knowledge of the complex trucking regulations for both interstate and intrastate motor carriers. Truck accident cases are often won by proving that the truck driver and trucking company operated their trucks in violation of the trucking laws.
The injuries resulting from truck accidents are serious and often fatal. Cases involving death give rise to a Michigan Wrongful Death Lawsuit.
Common injuries from these tragic truck accidents include:
- Closed head/traumatic brain injury
- Spinal cord injuries, including quadraplegia and paraplegia
- Broken bones and Fractures
- Back and neck injuries
- Shoulder injuries
- Knee injuries
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Road rash requiring significant skin grafts
- Permanent disability
- Burn injuries
- Amputation injury
Trucking Company Insurance Carriers
Our Michigan truck accident lawyers also fully understand issues relating to trucking company insurance companies to obtain the best settlement for their client. Trucking companies, whether they are running semi-trailers, gravel trucks, garbage trucks, or dump trucks, are well insured. Companies carrying trucking insurance policies work aggressively to limit the amount of compensation and benefits they pay out. It is important to have an attorney not afraid to take on big insurance companies when you have been injured in an 18-wheeler accident.
Statute of Limitations in Michigan Truck Accident Cases
The statute of limitations for trucking cases varies from state to state. Individuals who have been injured in a Michigan truck accident should contact our Michigan Truck Accident Lawyers immediately. They will start working on your case immediately, gathering the evidence to prove and win your case.
