Working with Rob Usry and his team was a great experience. They took the time to answer all our questions about my husband's worker's comp case and did everything they could to make the process as easy for us as possible. We would highly recommend them for your legal needs.

Mr. Usry and his staff are wonderful to work with. I reached out for advice when a recent accident caused damage to my house and car. They answered all my questions and explained all my options. They have the knowledge and haven't forgotten how to treat people with kindness and respect. I wholeheartedly recommend them.

I used this firm to help with a workman's comp dispute. We started the process on February 1, 2023 and had a settlement agreement by August 22, 2023. I found the office staff to be friendly and more than capable to answer my questions and guide me through this process. Pam Worley and Rose Fagan sent prompt emails letting me know what I needed to do and the status of the claim. Mr. Rob Usry was patient and called personally to let me know what was happening and what the next step would be. He negotiated well with the Workman's Comp legal team and reached a fair agreement. If you are looking for an attorney that communicates well, is friendly, and will work in you behalf, I strongly recommend Holland & Usry, P.A.

I got hurt on the job in Gaffney SC. I saw rather quickly that I was going to need help. Rob Usry was referred by a friend who had a great experience with their services. So I contacted them and it was the best move I could have ever made. Rob and his staff were amazing they treated me and my wife like family. They left no stone unturned while working on my case and I could not be happier with the results. I would highly recommend Rob Usry and his team to anyone who is in need of a lawyer in the upstate. They are the best in the business.

Rob Ursy PA and Rose Fagan did a wonderful job with my workmen compensation case. I slipped at my work in Spartanburg, SC. I was treated respectfully and that I was important. They helped me communicate with workmen compensation to get a case the right way. Communicate with opposing counsel. An settlement was offered. Ultimately, I settled with workmen compensation insurance thru my work. The settlement was for good bit more than was originally offered. I am glad I got what I needed to get my injury repaired. Thank you!!

Seeking help from an attorney was not on my radar when I was injured at work. Unfortunately, workers compensation became a barrier between me and the treatment I needed. Months battling workers compensation, being questioned relentlessly and then rejected, I contacted Holland & Usry, P.A. Mr. Usry and his team went to bat for me and I received the necessary treatment I needed, in addition to medical bills being paid. Workers compensation is a bear to deal with. If not for Mr. Usry and Rose, I would still be in a needless and stressful battle with them - this I am sure! I am extremely grateful for the honesty, integrity and compassion given me from this group! My journey is still in motion and Mr. Usry and Rose are taking care of business! Wendie Lawson I

My husband and I were victims of a hit and run accident about a year ago, My husband suffered a cracked clavicle and deep bruises to both knees, my injuries required a session of physical therapy. We had never been in an accident, and we felt victimized - our car was totaled, and we both suffered panful injuries. Following advice of friends and family, we decided to consult an attorney. Rob Usry was highly recommended, and we decided to ask him to represent us. Rob and his staff - Rose and Pam - were professional, thorough and supportive . They walked us through every step of the way. Since my husband and i are senior citizens with little experience with lawsuits, and unreliable computer skills, we needed help. Rose patiently answered our question and coached us along through computer glitches. Pam would organize and evaluate the seemingly endless maze of medical bills. When it came time to dicker with with insurance companies, Rob was the persistent master of negotiations, and we are very happy with the outcomes of our case. We are thankful to Rob Usry , Attorney At Law. and his staff, and highly recommend them to help you find the answers to the question - I Just Got In a South Carolina Car Accident. Now What.?

An Informal Court Process to Settle Property Damage Claims After a South Carolina Car or Motorcycle Accident

You’re innocently driving along, obeying the law, when an irresponsible yo-yo runs a red light and sideswipes you. You’ve done nothing wrong. However, the insurance company can make you feel like you have when it won’t pay to repair or replace your car, especially if it’s a total loss. If it’s not a case an attorney will take, you might worry that you’re stuck with a lowball offer—or that you have to wait until the insurance company is done stonewalling to get it settled. However, that might not be the case.

Find out if you need an attorney in the first place, and get your questions answered. This Spartanburg, SC car and motorcycle accident attorney will do it for free*, in a no pressure strategy session. Call toll free at (864) 582-0416 or fill out a Get Help Now form.

One Do-It-Yourself Way to Use the Courts to Settle Car Accident Property Damage Claims

Luckily, South Carolina law offers an informal court procedure to resolve property damage claims fairly easily. It’s called property damage arbitration.

Here’s how it works:

  • File. You file papers at the clerk of court’s office in the county courthouse where the crash occurred or where the at-fault driver lives. The clerk provides the papers for you. You’ll need the at-fault driver’s name and address, plus an explanation of why it’s the driver’s fault. The sheriff serves the papers on the at-fault driver. It costs you $10.00.
  • Response. The at-fault driver has 30 days to respond to your filing, and he or she should send the served papers to the insurance company. That’s when the insurance company might get an earful from its customer about why it hasn’t settled your claim.
  • Hearing. The arbitration panel at the hearing is made up of three lawyers unconnected to your case. The earliest hearing date is 60 days from filing the papers.
  • Evidence.  For estimates of the damage to your car, you’ll need two, both signed by the estimator. For completed repairs, you need signed receipts. For any other damaged property, like clothes or car seats, you’ll need bills or receipts. You can also have witnesses testify. You can get a subpoena from the clerk to force them to appear at the hearing.
  • Award. If you win, you’re eligible to receive all property damage compensation allowed by law. It may even be possible to receive punitive damages, but these are rare and can be really hard to get without a lawyer.
  • Appeal. The loser can appeal as provided by law, requiring a new hearing (that’s legalese for “do-over”) in front of a circuit court judge.

If the insurance company is truly ignoring or shortchanging you, don’t let them get away with it. If you have serious injuries and the insurance company is giving you this much grief already, step aside from the strain to see what an experienced lawyer can do to take over and make your life easier.
