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.?

Safe Driving Tips For Labor Day

Like most folks, I eagerly await the joy and relief of a long Labor Day weekend and the kickoff of football season. Here’s some important ways to keep it a safe holiday for all to enjoy. First, I share some grim statistics—and then important ways you can avoid becoming one.

The Sobering Effect of A Good Cause: Traffic Deaths Spike in 2015

Luckily, our quality of life has improved after the harsh economic downturn the past few years. But the recovery has had an unexpected negative effect: According to an August 24 article in the Spartanburg Herald-Journal, South Carolina has endured 100 more traffic deaths this year than this time last year. Authorities attributed it to more people taking to the highways, a trend fueled in part by lower gas prices. And more folks are driving larger vehicles, which have longer stopping distances and cause more serious crashes.

Spartanburg and Greenville are two of the most deadly counties in our state. The Herald-Journal reports Spartanburg ranked second in 2015 traffic deaths, with 47. Greenville was third with 41. Only Horry (Myrtle Beach) had more.

Driving safely is vital on Labor Day weekend. In a press release, the National Safety Council estimates car crashes will kill 395 people and seriously injure another 47,800 this weekend—the most deadly year since 2007.

The Four Biggest Factors for Traffic Crashes

These seem obvious, but it’s clear that not everyone is getting the message. According to Highway Patrol spokesman Lance Corporal Bill Rhyne, the biggest factors in crash casualties are:

Drinking and driving
Seatbelt use (or, rather, failure to use seatbelts)
Speeding
Distracted driving

We’ve talked about the dangers of distracted driving before.

To help keep you safe this weekend, here are some tips gleaned from a variety of sources and from my own experience.

Driving Safely: What You Can Do

Don’t drink and drive. That means no alcohol. Designate a substance-free driver.
Buckle up. Still need convincing? Over one-third of this year’s statewide traffic deaths involved motorists without seatbelts. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that in 2014, the 13 percent of motorists without safety belts accounted for over 44 percent of traffic deaths. Don’t think “Click It or Ticket”—think “Live or Die.”
Obey speed limits. The fun will be there when you get there, unless you don’t. Speed kills.
Don’t drive distracted. Drivers have one job: getting everyone there safe. One job. Both hands on the wheel, both eyes on the road, at all times. Don’t use a cellphone—not even hands-free. This is a lethal distraction. Don’t use anything else that takes your attention away from driving…that includes using maps or your GPS device.
Map your trip before you leave. This decreases stress and distraction while driving.
Don’t follow too close. Tailgating is letting someone else drive for you, except they’re not. The South Carolina Drivers Manual recommends a three- to four-second distance between cars, measured by noting the car in front passing an object, then timing when you reach it.
Drive rested. Fatigued driving can be as dangerous as drunk driving. Tired drivers drift into other lanes and slam into the back of other cars. It’s deadly at highway speeds. Take a break or change drivers if you’re tired.
Beware the gas gauge! It should be a no-brainer, but apparently it’s not for me. The last time my family went to see my parents, we ran out of gas. In the middle of nowhere. On a hot day. With two infants in the back seat. And our six-and seven-year olds asking why we stopped. Thankfully, we found a guardian angel nearby. I call him “Saint Ryan.” I don’t ever want to count on a guardian angel in the middle of nowhere on a hot day again. I don’t want you to, either.
Don’t drink and drive. Buckle up. Don’t speed. And just drive. Really. We mean it.

Be Safe So You Can Have Fun

These statistics prove driving is not a holiday. It’s work. Make your goal arriving safely. Because when we take to the roads, our biggest responsibility is everyone else. Here’s hoping you have a long, safe, joyful weekend with your family and friends this Labor Day.
