What Our Clients Say
Attorney Charles Graham Big Truck Chuck
Former Prosecutor | Former Trucking Company Owner | $100M+ Recovered | No Fee Unless We Win
Attorney Charles 'Big Truck Chuck' Graham built The Graham Firm on one idea: injured people deserve the same level of preparation and firepower that trucking companies bring to the table. As a former prosecutor and former trucking company owner, he has built cases around 18-wheeler accidents, semi-truck crashes, tractor-trailer wrecks, and commercial delivery vehicle accidents, bringing courtroom experience and industry knowledge that is genuinely hard to find.
From Big Rigs to Box Trucks, We Fight for You
It's hard to turn on the local news in Albany and not see a story about another truck wreck that injured or killed someone. A cement truck collides with a passenger car and sends two people to the emergency room at Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital. A truck crash on the Liberty Expressway can injure people and shut traffic down for hours. The trucking industry causes a lot of mayhem in our South Georgia communities, due to hours-of-service violations, poor training for truck drivers, and other problems.
Our accident lawyers in Albany, Georgia, have seen it all. With more than two decades of experience under our belts, our crash experts have represented victims of all different types of truck accidents. The types of big rig crashes we handle include:
- Commercial truck wrecks involving local companies
- 18-wheeler crashes that are extremely common on our busy Georgia highways
- Delivery truck crashes, which increasingly involve Amazon delivery trucks
- Tanker truck rollovers that can cause serious injuries and even threaten public safety
- Accidents involving multiple vehicles and big trucks, which can be extremely complex
- Fatal truck crashes, which can result in a wrongful death suit
Many people don't realize that both state and federal regulations apply to the "big rig" trucking industry on the highways. This can make it even more difficult to pursue compensation from these companies. You're also much less likely to win a full and fair settlement in these cases without a personal injury lawyer in your corner.
Whether it's a tanker truck, a box truck, or even a car accident claim, our team is ready to fight for you. Reach out for a free consultation by calling (678) 603-1119 now! Talk with a truck accident lawyer in Albany, GA, today!
Types of Truck Accident Injuries We Handle
A passenger vehicle doesn't stand much of a chance in a collision with a huge big rig. You may only end up with minor bumps and bruises after a crash, if you're fortunate. In many cases, collisions with big trucks are the type of accidents that the victims cannot simply walk away from. A severe injury from a truck wreck can impact you for the rest of your life, leading to lost wages, lost earning potential, and a loss of enjoyment from everyday activities that you can no longer do.
Some of the many types of truck wreck injury cases that we handle as a result of GA truck accidents include:
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Whiplash and neck injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones and fractures
- Internal injuries
- Burns and disfigurement
- Lacerations and cuts
According to the CDC, the average American misses around 11 days of work following a non-fatal accident. The CDC also notes that traumatic brain injuries, which are a common injury in truck wrecks, now cost the healthcare system in the US more than $40 billion a year. That's just for the healthcare costs. It doesn't include the economic damage that this type of injury can do to your family. TBI, spinal cord damage, and other types of injuries can impact you for the rest of your life. Our Albany personal injury lawyer will fight to make sure that you receive the maximum amount of compensation that you're entitled to.

Documentation We Need From Your Truck Accident in Dougherty County
Building a strong case and maximizing your settlement will depend on the amount and quality of evidence gathered. If you've been in a crash, the first thing you should do is tend to any injuries and call 911. After you make that call, you have a narrow window of opportunity to take photos and videos of the accident scene.
Take pictures of the final positions where the vehicles stopped. Document any skidmarks on the road. Take pictures of the weather conditions at the time as well. We can get dense morning fog in South Georgia that limits visibility, and heavy rains can create slick road surfaces that contribute to crashes. As soon as emergency responders arrive, they'll start moving vehicles around and alter the scene of the accident. That's why it's so important to immediately take pictures and videos if you can.
Law enforcement will file a report on the incident, which is another valuable piece of evidence. You can obtain a copy of the crash report through the Dougherty County Police Department's online portal.
Get contact information from any witnesses who viewed the crash. Their testimony could prove valuable to your case.
Finally, go to the hospital and get checked out after an accident, even if you feel fine. Sometimes it can take days or weeks for injuries to fully materialize. You'll also want to obtain your medical records for the case. If you have trouble obtaining any of this documentation, your personal injury lawyer's team can help.
