Introduction

More than 70% of Michigan bicycle accidents occur during daylight hours, a statistic that Buckfire Law uses to illustrate a core truth about many injury cases: most accidents happen because someone stopped paying attention.

Buckfire Law’s attorneys have earned top ratings in the legal profession for skill, experience, and integrity, representing clients in cases that range from bicycle crashes to catastrophic spinal cord injuries.

The firm acts quickly to gather evidence, identify responsible parties, and manage negotiations with insurance companies, recognizing that early action improves outcomes for injured clients.

Practice Areas

Buckfire Law handles a broad set of personal injury and liability cases throughout Michigan.

Bicycle Accidents

Beyond traditional bicycle crashes, the firm helps clients injured on adult trikes, recumbent bikes, and tandem bicycles. Michigan bicycle accident victims seeking compensation for injuries requiring medical treatment must file an Application for No-Fault Insurance Benefits under Michigan law. The firm guides clients through this process while building the case against the at-fault party.

Bus Accidents

Whether a client was a bus passenger, an occupant of another vehicle, or a pedestrian struck by a bus, Buckfire Law handles the full range of bus accident cases. The firm gathers evidence quickly, identifies responsible parties, and handles insurance negotiations involving the bus company, the driver, and any other involved parties. For accidents near the Wayne County Metropolitan Airport in Romulus, Michigan, the firm notes that reporting requirements must be met promptly. Economic damages pursued include lost wages, medical expenses, and other financial losses. When a bus accident results in death, the firm files wrongful death claims on behalf of surviving families.

Child Injury Cases

The firm represents children harmed through negligence, statutory violations, or failure to exercise ordinary care. When the injured person is under 18, the legal claim must be brought by a parent, legal guardian, or court-appointed conservator. Buckfire Law handles the procedural requirements while pursuing full compensation for the child’s injuries.

Spinal Cord Injuries

Buckfire Law’s spinal cord injury attorneys have earned the highest ratings in the legal profession for this complex area of practice. Spinal cord trauma typically begins with a sudden, severe blow that fractures or dislocates vertebrae, crushing and destroying the axons that carry signals between the brain and the rest of the body. Depending on the severity and location of injury, damage can affect few or nearly all of these nerve pathways. The firm pursues compensation for the full medical, rehabilitative, and long-term care costs these injuries generate.

Toxic Poisoning and Mesothelioma

The firm represents clients who have developed asbestos-related diseases, including mesothelioma, typically through occupational exposure at factories, plants, or shipyards. Buckfire Law also handles Paraquat exposure cases involving the toxic herbicide widely used in commercial crop settings for weed control and desiccation before harvest.

Product Liability

Dangerous products injure people despite government regulations and industry standards. Buckfire Law handles both defectively manufactured products and defectively designed products, noting that design defect claims, while just as valid, are more complex to litigate.

Attorney Profiles

Buckfire Law’s attorneys hold top ratings in the legal profession for skill, experience, and integrity. The firm’s spinal cord injury team specifically has earned the highest professional recognitions available. The practice emphasizes that its attorneys act quickly on behalf of injured clients to preserve evidence and maximize recovery prospects.

Client Focus

Buckfire Law represents people facing serious, often life-altering injuries. The firm’s guidance for bicycle accident victims begins with practical steps: collect the at-fault party’s name, address, phone number, plate number, and insurance information at the scene if possible, seek immediate medical attention even if no injury is apparent, and contact legal counsel before dealing with insurance companies. The same practical approach applies across all case types.

For bus accidents, the firm emphasizes acting quickly, both to gather evidence before it disappears and to meet any applicable reporting requirements. For child injury cases, the firm manages the procedural complexity of claims brought on behalf of minors. For catastrophic injuries like spinal cord damage, the firm pursues compensation that accounts for ongoing and long-term costs beyond the immediate medical bills.
