Powell Law Firm

The People They Represent

The clients at Powell Law Firm come from all walks of life. They might be:

• A construction worker hurt on the job

• A mother hit by a careless driver

• A family grieving the wrongful death of a loved one

• A person with a long-term disability fighting for benefits

• Someone who experienced a civil rights violation

What they all have in common is the need for someone to fight for them when they feel powerless. Powell Law Firm takes pride in stepping into that role.

Personal Injury Cases

When someone is harmed because of another person’s carelessness, that’s where personal injury law applies. Powell Law Firm takes these cases seriously because the injuries can turn someone’s life upside down.

Car Accidents

Car crashes are one of the most common personal injury cases. Some seem small at first, but the injuries can linger for years. Victims may deal with neck pain, back issues, or even traumatic brain injuries. Insurance companies often offer quick settlements that don’t cover the true costs. Powell Law Firm pushes back to make sure their clients get what they need for recovery.

Truck Accidents

Crashes involving semi-trucks are often devastating. These cases can involve multiple parties, such as the driver, trucking company, or even parts manufacturers. Powell Law Firm has the experience to sort out these complex details and hold the right people responsible.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists face unique risks. Without the protection of a car, injuries are usually severe. Riders are often unfairly blamed for accidents, even when they weren’t at fault. Powell lawyers fight to make sure riders’ voices are heard and their rights are protected.

Workers’ Compensation

Injuries at work should be covered by workers’ compensation. But many employees face denials or delays when they need help the most. Powell Law Firm helps injured workers navigate this complicated system.

They step in to:

• File workers’ comp claims the right way

• Appeal unfair denials

• Push for full coverage of medical care

• Demand fair payment for lost wages

For example, if a warehouse worker hurts their back lifting heavy boxes and the employer tries to deny the claim, Powell Law Firm makes sure the truth comes out.

Disability Claims

Living with a disability is tough enough. Trying to fight for benefits through the Social Security system can feel impossible. Many first-time applications are denied, even when the evidence is clear.

Powell Law Firm helps people with disabilities by:

• Collecting detailed medical records

• Preparing them for hearings

• Arguing their case before a judge

• Showing how their health problems make working impossible

Winning these benefits can mean stability, housing, and food on the table for families who would otherwise struggle.

Wrongful Death Cases

Nothing is harder than losing a loved one unexpectedly. Wrongful death cases help families recover financially and hold the responsible party accountable.

Powell Law Firm helps families seek damages for:

• Funeral and burial costs

• Lost income and financial support

• The emotional pain of losing a loved one

Though no amount of money can replace someone, these cases bring a sense of justice and help families move forward.

Civil Rights Cases

Powell Law Firm doesn’t just handle accidents. They also work on civil rights cases, protecting people who’ve been treated unfairly. These can include:

• Discrimination at work

• Abuse or neglect while in custody

• Unequal treatment based on race, gender, or disability

By taking these cases, the firm stands up not just for individuals but for fairness and justice in the wider community.

The Powell Law Firm Process

Many people feel nervous about calling a lawyer. Powell Law Firm makes the process approachable and clear.

1. Free Consultation – Clients share their story, and the lawyer explains options.

2. Case Investigation – Evidence is collected, such as police reports, medical documents, or witness statements.

3. Building the Case – Lawyers prepare claims or lawsuits and deal directly with insurers or employers.

4. Negotiation – Many cases are resolved in settlement talks.

5. Trial (if needed) – If the other side won’t play fair, Powell Law Firm takes the case to court.

Clients are updated regularly and can ask questions at any time.

Why Local Knowledge Helps

Missouri has its own laws that can affect how a case is handled. Powell Law Firm knows these rules inside and out.

For instance:

• Missouri follows comparative fault, meaning even if you were partly to blame for an accident, you can still recover damages.

• Disability hearings depend heavily on how evidence is presented.

• Workers’ comp laws vary depending on the job and employer.

Having a lawyer with local experience means nothing is overlooked.

Taking on Insurance Companies

Insurance companies are not on the side of injured people. They want to save money. Some common tricks include:

• Offering low settlements right away

• Dragging out cases so victims give up

• Blaming the injured person for their own accident

• Requesting unnecessary paperwork

Powell Law Firm recognizes these tactics and pushes back hard, making sure clients get fair treatment.

Preparing for the Future

Some injuries heal. Others last a lifetime. Powell Law Firm looks at the long-term impact of injuries, not just short-term costs. They fight for coverage of:

• Future medical treatments

• Rehabilitation and therapy

• Home changes like wheelchair ramps

• Loss of future income

This protects clients from financial struggles years down the road.

Avoiding Costly Mistakes

Without a lawyer, people often make mistakes such as:

• Accepting a settlement that’s too small

• Missing strict filing deadlines

• Failing to collect enough medical proof

• Saying the wrong thing to insurance adjusters

Powell Law Firm helps avoid these mistakes and builds a stronger case.

How Fees Work

One of the biggest concerns people have is cost. Powell Law Firm works on a contingency fee basis, which means clients don’t pay upfront. The firm only gets paid if they win.

This system allows anyone to get legal help, no matter their financial situation.

Real Client Example

Imagine a delivery driver injured in a crash caused by another car running a red light. The insurance company offers a quick settlement that doesn’t cover physical therapy or lost wages.

With Powell Law Firm’s help, the driver’s medical needs and lost income are fully calculated.

The firm pushes back, and the settlement grows to cover all costs—both present and future.

This is the difference between struggling to make ends meet and truly moving forward.

Each case has a ripple effect that protects not just one person, but many others too.
