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.

They have the knowledge and haven't forgotten how to treat people with kindness and respect.
I wholeheartedly recommend them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.?

Warning Signs of South Carolina Nursing Home/Assisted Living Neglect

The last thing anyone wants is being forced to accuse a nursing home or assisted living facility of injuring a patient. It’s almost too awful to say.

But if we don’t speak up for our vulnerable elders, who are often too debilitated or afraid to put a stop to it, no one will.

Here are some typical signs of neglect in long term care facilities listed in an extensive 2003 report on Elder Mistreatment, prepared by the National Research Council’s Panel to Review Risk and Prevalence of Elder Abuse and Neglect:

Extensive bruises. Blunt force trauma ruptures blood vessels. Look for the pattern of the bruise—it may reveal what caused it.
Broken bones. In abuse cases, this occurs especially in the face and jaw. Of course, falls from unsafe floors and lack of monitoring cause broken hips, arms, and wrists.
Bed sores and pressure ulcers. This just shouldn’t happen. If immobile patients aren’t turned regularly, skin breaks down, causing painful open wounds with foul discharges that invite deadly infections.
Malnutrition and dehydration. Rapid, unexplained weight loss can indicate there’s not enough staff to feed your loved one, or that the staff is untrained to help patients eat. It can also be a side effect of improper or inadequate medications. Likewise, dehydration can indicate insufficient staff training or personnel to monitor fluid intake.
Medication abuse or prescription mistakes. This includes overdoses, under-doses, or giving the wrong medication. Be vigilant for potential side effects, like when a narcotic pain killer seems to suddenly have little or no effect at all. And improper prescriptions for patients who can have a lot of medications can lead to violent, life-ending harm from drug interactions.
Physical restraints. These can only be used to prevent significant harm, like preventing a patient from yanking out a feeding tube or removing an oxygen mask. They cannot be used to “make it easier on staff.” Even when rightly used, it must be used the right way. Restraints can’t be too tight. Movement cannot be completely cut off.

Don’t Look the Other Way

You made the agonizing choice to put your parents or grandparents in a facility because they needed specialized care for their unique needs. If they don’t get it from the trained professionals you entrusted them to, don’t let the facility get away with it. Speak up, because the one you love is now dependent on you to do it.

If you suspect a loved one is being neglected, take swift action to address it—and waste no time doing it. Go straight to the top—talk to the director of the facility about your concerns and do not be satisfied until they are met. Your mom or dad or grandparents nurtured you lovingly throughout your life, and now it’s your turn to do the same for them.

If you feel your parent or grandparent got hurt by a facility’s neglect or abuse, find out their legal rights. Get your questions answered in a free*, no pressure strategy session with a Spartanburg, SC personal injury attorney. Call toll free at (864) 582-0416 or fill out a Get Help Now form.
