Welcome to Drake Law Firm - Personal Injury Lawyers.

The practice area of Drake Law Firm covers the entire State of Alabama. While our main office is in Birmingham, the majority of our cases are in the outlying counties such as Calhoun, Cullman, Morgan, Blount, Madison, Chilton, etc. We represent clients from Huntsville to Dothan, from Anniston to Tuscaloosa.

The firm was founded by Whit Drake in 1998 after he worked for another personal injury law firm in Birmingham for nine years.  Mr. Drake tried his first case at age 25 and obtained a $700,000 punitive damage jury verdict against Northrup King Company for a farmer who had bought contaminated feed for his dairy cattle.  His first verdict for more than a million dollars came just two years later in a wrongful death case.  Since that time, he has obtained numerous verdicts and settlements in excess of a million dollars, including obtaining record verdicts in several counties. He has also written multiple articles for legal publications and spoken extensively at legal seminars. Drake has successively handled cases in West Virginia, Mississippi, Florida, Kentucky, Arkansas, Tennessee, Texas, Georgia and North Carolina.

Our injury lawyers place an emphasis on severe and catastrophic injuries, and have a wide range of experts and resources to establish the extent of these injuries in Alabama Courts.  Whether you simply need a car accident lawyer, or require representation for a life-changing personal injury, our staff is ready to assist.

Third-party Cases:
Many injured workers mistakenly believe that their only remedy for an on-the-job accident is through Alabama’s worker’s compensation law. However, they also have a statutory right to pursue a claim against any third-party who may be responsible for their personal injury. For example, if a worker is injured due to a defective product, such as a drill press, he may collect workers comp benefits from his employer and still sue the manufacturer of the drill.
