In far too many cases, these injuries and fatalities were entirely preventable, yet they were not prevented. Those who should have been responsible failed in their obligations and forever changed lives. These individuals and entities who failed to keep others safe deserve to be held accountable for the harm they have caused, and Drafahl Law Firm will work with victims to make that happen.
Drafahl Law Firm provides skilled and compassionate representation to those harmed in accidents and we will bring our legal knowledge to your case if you have been hurt or a loved one has been killed.

Why Drafahl Law Firm is the Best Choice For Your Personal Injury Needs
More than 1000 Missourians die annually because of unintentional injuries, the Missouri Department of Health & Senior Services reports. Every single one of those deaths is a tragedy, and so are the many non-fatal injuries sustained daily in the state of Missouri each year.
Drafahl Law Firm is committed to our clients, and we value the trust they have placed in us. Our firm wants to earn your trust as well. There are many reasons that we should do that including:
- Our many professional successes. Our peers recognize that we are skilled lawyers who are well-equipped to represent injured clients, which is why we have been designated as Missouri Super Lawyers and chosen to be among the Top 40 Under 40 Civil Plaintiffs Trial Lawyers. These professional successes mean you can feel confident in our ability to represent you in your injury claim.
- Our many satisfied clients. You need an attorney you can trust who cares about you. Our past client testimonials show that you can find that lawyer at our firm. Our clients have said we made them feel like family, didn’t back down, and made the insurer pay more than promised. We want to try to do the same in your case.
- Our trial experience. We have spent endless hours in court and have honed our legal skills so we can maximize your chances of prevailing in trial. In fact, we have won numerous multi-million dollar verdicts in injury claims in just the past few years alone. This trial experience ensures we’re always able to go the distance on your case and, it also makes it easier to settle since insurers are more likely to make you a fair offer for compensation when they know we aren’t afraid to go to court and we won’t back down.
You can also count on us to be on your side because we don’t charge any legal fees unless we recover compensation for your injury claim.

When Can Accident Victims Make a Personal Injury Claim
Not every accident gives rise to civil liability — but many do. A victim can pursue a claim to recover compensation for an accident if they can prove:
- The defendant had some type of legal obligation or duty to them like the duty to drive safely or to only release products that had been demonstrated safe when used as intended or to keep their dog from biting without provocation.
- The defendant did not live up to their legal obligations. They may be strictly or automatically liable for certain failures, such as a failure to stop a dog from biting or to release unsafe products. Or they may be liable if you can show a hypothetical average person would have been less negligent under the same circumstances.
- The defendant’s failure was the direct cause of damage. You will have to show you were harmed because of the wrongful, unsafe, or improper actions of the defendant. You will also have to show the extent of harm, including the medical bills you incurred, the wages you lost, the decline in your earning power, the pain that you experienced, or the emotional distress you experienced
Drafahl Law Firm has a long history of helping clients to identify defendants who the law says can be held responsible for their losses — and of helping those clients to prove why those defendants are to blame. We can do the same for your accident case so you can fight for justice.
