In Missouri, the largest trucks on state roads weigh as much as 72,000 pounds. Since passenger cars weigh much less, those in a car are often very seriously hurt or even killed when a truck and a motor vehicle collide.
Victims of these truck accidents, and their surviving loved ones in fatal crashes, need to understand their legal rights. The Clayton personal injury lawyers at Drafahl Law Firm can help those who have been harmed to enforce their rights and fight for fair compensation after a collision occurs.

How Can A Truck Accident Lawyer Help You
In the aftermath of a truck accident, our firm will:
- Determine if violations of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations occurred, as this can make proving a claim easier.
- Help determine if the trucking company and their insurer can be held responsible under vicarious liability rules for the actions of their driver
- Gather black box data and other evidence to make the strongest truck accident claim possible so you maximize the chances of a favorable outcome
- Negotiate with trucking companies and their insurers to try to reach a settlement
- Litigate in court, fighting for your rights, and bringing our extensive trial experience to your case
Our goal is to get you compensated for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering (brain injuries, amputations, third-degree burns, etc…), emotional distress after your crash or to fight for wrongful death damages if a truck crash is fatal and results in the loss of your loved one.
With our help, you can hopefully be made whole or given the money you need to get back as close as possible to the position you’d have been in had the crash never occurred at all.
