Introduction
When clients of The Law Office of Chris Corley call with legal questions, they speak directly with a lawyer, not a secretary or paralegal. That policy reflects the core operating principle of this Augusta, Georgia personal injury firm: every case gets the personal attention and direct engagement of the attorney himself. Chris Corley handles each case personally, making the practice a genuine alternative to the impersonal scale of larger injury firms. Located at 436 Greene Street, Augusta, GA 30901, the firm serves the Central Savannah River Area on a contingency fee basis, meaning clients pay nothing unless the firm obtains a settlement or award. Reach the office at 706-524-8000.
The practice has also built in a protection for clients that distinguishes it from many contingency fee arrangements: if fees would exceed the client payout, the firm reduces its fees to ensure the client receives fair compensation. This is not standard practice in personal injury, and it reflects a genuine commitment to outcomes that benefit the client rather than just the firm.
Practice Areas
Auto Accidents
Vehicle accidents are among the most common personal injury matters, and the circumstances surrounding each collision vary significantly. The firm investigates accident causes, documents injuries, and pursues compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. Chris Corley treats auto accident cases with the same individual attention he applies across all practice areas.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accident cases require specialized knowledge because riders face particular vulnerabilities on the road and frequently encounter unfair assumptions from insurance adjusters. The firm provides advocacy that counters those assumptions with evidence, pursuing the full compensation that injured riders deserve.
Trucking Accidents
Commercial trucking accidents often involve multiple parties, including truck drivers, trucking companies, and their insurers. These cases can be complex, requiring investigation into driver logs, maintenance records, and company policies. Attorney Corley handles this complexity with the focused approach that distinguishes his practice.
Traumatic Brain Injuries
Traumatic brain injuries can alter both physical and mental health in ways that are often not immediately apparent and that insurance companies tend to minimize. The firm provides representation focused on documenting the full scope of brain injury effects and pursuing compensation that reflects the actual long-term impact on the client life.
Wrongful Death
Wrongful death claims arise from the unexpected loss of loved ones due to accidents or negligence. These cases require both legal expertise and sensitivity to the circumstances of the grieving family. Attorney Corley approaches wrongful death cases with the same direct engagement he provides in all personal injury matters.
Additional Practice Areas
The firm also handles boating accidents, bicycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, and slip and fall accidents throughout the Central Savannah River Area, providing comprehensive personal injury representation for a range of injury scenarios.
Workers Compensation
Workers compensation cases are handled on the same contingency fee basis as personal injury claims, with no fees charged unless the firm obtains a recovery.

Client Focus
The clients this firm serves are accident and injury victims in the Augusta area who need an attorney willing to treat their case with individual attention and fight aggressively for fair compensation. The contingency fee structure means there is no financial barrier to accessing representation: clients do not pay unless the firm wins.
The direct-attorney-access policy addresses one of the most common frustrations in personal injury practices: the experience of paying for attorney representation but spending all your time with paralegals and assistants.
