I-65 Car Accident Attorney · Alabama Car Accident Lawyer
In 1998, attorney Whit Drake opened the Drake Law Firm in Birmingham, Alabama, after 10 years of experience as an associate attorney at a midsize law firm, representing plaintiffs severely injured in car accidents on roads and highways throughout the Birmingham region. He brought with him a personal observation that individuals hurt in motor vehicle accidents aren't looking to get rich. Often, people just want to get their lives back in order — to the financial comfort level they enjoyed before someone's negligence or misconduct caused their serious injury or loss of a loved one.
Today, the Drake Law Firm is recognized as a small law firm with a big heart, diligently helping people recover the full and fair money damages they are entitled to from the motor vehicle insurance company responsible for covering the loss.
