Michigan Personal Injury Lawyer

As a Michigan personal injury, I am often asked by family members, friends, and others what a personal injury lawyer does and why hiring the right lawyer for an accident case is so important.  Quite often, someone will ask why a divorce lawyer cannot handle a Michigan car accident case or why a criminal lawyer cannot handle a Michigan wrongful death case. 

The fact is that these other attorneys may be able to “handle” an injury case, but quite often there a specific things that must be done that are known only to attorneys who specialize in these areas.  For example, I would not feel comfortable handling a child custody matter if I had not handled one in the past.  As part of our new series of video interviews with attorney Daniel Buckfire, he explains exactly what a personal injury lawyer is and why it is important to hire an experienced lawyer for your case.  You can watch an excerpt from his interview below:
