Many of these crashes would never have occurred if drivers exercised the level of care expected of the average reasonable driver. Still, far too many motorists behave unsafely or fail to follow the rules of the road, leading to tragedy. When this occurs, Drafahl Law Firm is here to help victims in the aftermath.
Our compassionate and knowledgeable Granite City personal injury attorneys will pursue a claim for justice against those responsible for harming you in a crash or against those who cause fatal accidents if your loved one loses their life in a collision.

Why Call Drafahl Law Firm When You Get Into a Car Accident
According to the Illinois Department of Transportation, there were 1,147 fatal crashes in 2022, resulting in 1,268 deaths. While fatal accidents are the most tragic, injury-causing crashes remain all too common on Illinois roads, often leaving lasting impacts on those involved.
Drafahl Law Firm is the right place to turn after a car accident for many important reasons. Here’s why you should trust our firm to fight for you:
- We’ve had a long history of success in car accident claims, including recovering $1.75 million after a crash caused a mild traumatic brain injury and $1.3 million in a case involving a school bus accident in which liability was disputed — and this was just in the past few years alone.
- We are prepared to go to court. This means we can resolve your car accident claim in the best and most effective way possible, and insurers are more likely to make a fair settlement offer since they know we can go the distance.
- We offer compassionate representation to car accident victims, as many past clients have said we went the extra mile, treated them like family, and had a very strong knowledge of the laws involved in their case.
The aftermath of an auto accident, especially those with commercial vehicles, is a frightening time — our Granite City truck accident lawyers will be there for you to help you navigate the legal system at every step of the way.

A Granite City Car Accident Attorney Is Here To Help
Our firm will be there for you at every step in your car accident claim, working to fight for the justice you deserve. Some of the many services we offer include:
- Helping you to identify all defendants responsible for your auto accident — under Illinois law (625 ILCS 5/11-401), if a driver leaves the scene of an accident that caused injury, their actions may be classified as a felony offense.
- Identifying the right legal arguments to make. For example, if someone breaks the rules of the road, there is a presumption of negligence, which makes it easier to prove your case.
- Helping you to prove the extent of your damages so you can recover full compensation for all losses caused by the crash including medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and any other economic and non-financial losses.
