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.?

How to Get Maximum South Carolina Workers’ Comp Settlements for Severe Spinal Injuries or Brain Damage

No one goes to work expecting life to change forever. As it should, South Carolina workers’ compensation law provides the most benefits for the worst work injuries. While these benefits do not equal the devastation suffered by the worker or his family, they are vital.

If you or a family member suffered these horrific injuries, you can’t afford to leave your case to chance. Hoping the workers’ compensation insurance company will do the right thing is worse than wishful thinking- it’s selling yourself out. Remember the insurance company makes money by denying benefits.

Get started in the right direction by getting legal advice from our experienced Spartanburg workers’ comp attorney.  Call toll free at  (864) 582-0416 or fill out a Get Help Now form.

Here’s who qualifies and what benefits are available for folks who suffer paralysis or severe, permanent brain injury at work in South Carolina.

Injuries Qualifying for Maximum Benefits

Two basic groups qualify:

Guaranteed Benefits for Paralysis and Brain Damage

If the injuries are proven, you get these benefits by law:

  • Permanent disability compensation for life. For the rest of your life, you get a weekly check for two-thirds of your average weekly wage. Other workers declared permanently and totally disabled are limited to 500 weeks, but not you. However, you cannot receive a settlement in one huge sum. This protects workers from spending it too fast, giving them a reliable source of income for life.
  • Free medical care for life, related to your injury. The workers’ compensation insurance company pays for all medical care related to your paralysis or brain damage. This can, quite literally, mean the difference between life and death.

Potential Benefits for Paralysis and Brain Damage

You might also qualify for benefits to accommodate your special needs, but expect a fight over these. When claimants could properly prove their case for these benefits, courts have ordered the insurance company to pay for:

  • Help paying for a handicapped-accessible home. Benefits applied towards a new home and paying the costs for necessary handicapped modifications.
  • Help paying for a handicapped-equipped van. Benefits applied to pay for part of a van required to get a paralyzed worker around.
  • Professional rehab or therapy. An injured worker is may qualify if this treatment helps maintain mobility and muscle tone, or ease pain.
  • Home exercise and therapy equipment. For your best chance at getting this approved, it should be prescribed by a doctor.
  • Professional home healthcare. These vital services are rendered when you just can’t get out of your home.
  • Nonprofessional home healthcare. This could be compensation for the care you get from your own family members who help you round-the-clock due to your debilitation. The Commission can even order them to be compensated by the insurance company.

You Need an Advocate

If you or a family member has suffered any of these injuries, then you’re probably overwhelmed with the permanent change in your lives and the endless hours of labor it takes to cope with the injuries and get to the next doctor or therapy appointment. You don’t have a full-time job—dealing with these profound injuries takes up all your time. There’s almost no way you can devote time to the demands of an insurance company that makes money by shortchanging benefits.

Because these benefits for the gravest injuries also cost the most, you can’t count on the insurance company making it easy. You need someone who’s experienced in these cases, who’s comfortable with medical complexity, and who knows how to present a convincing case to protect your most precious rights to claim the best livelihood and well-being you can—because you won’t have another chance to do it.

If you or a loved one has been paralyzed or suffered permanent brain damage in a work accident in Spartanburg, Union, Gaffney, Greenville, or anywhere in South Carolina, call toll free at  (864) 582-0416 or fill out a Get Help Now form for a FREE*, EASY strategy session on how to begin to build a case for maximum compensation. You can also start a live chat right where you are.
