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.?

Understanding How to Get a Settlement for Pain and Suffering in Your South Carolina Accident Injury Case

When accident injury cases are discussed in the news, sometimes we hear a lot of talk about pain and suffering, also called non–economic damages. But no one describes exactly what that is.

If you’re a victim, you know. You’ve lived it. And it can often be the biggest part of your case. It’s not a joke or imaginary. It’s real, which is why the law compensates victims for it.

Because we can’t turn back time, the legal system has no better way to make up for the lost value of your life caused by an accident than giving money for it. At Holland & Usry, we call it “human loss” because it measures the harm to you as a person. It’s different for everyone because everyone’s different.

Find out how we develop human loss to increase your South Carolina accident injury settlement. 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.

Let’s look at what human loss can include.

Human Loss Factors

  • Pain, discomfort, and suffering. Hurting can make life aggravating or a living hell.
  • Loss of enjoyment of life. You can be compensated for things you love to do that you can’t do, whether it’s hobbies or activities you enjoy with your family or friends.
  • Physical disability and difficulties. This covers anything it’s impossible or harder for you to do. It includes limitations in doing daily activities, like bathing, dressing, cooking, cleaning, driving…anything.
  • Mental disability and difficulties. You might have these if you sustain a brain injury. If so, your case needs careful attention and skill from a lawyer experienced in brain trauma cases.
  • Permanent injury. If you break a bone or rupture a spinal disc, it’s likely some amount of damage will be permanent. You need to be evaluated for future medical care, especially arthritis. You’ll need an experienced lawyer to help develop this important—but sometimes complicated—medical evidence.
  • Disfigurement and scarring. We often see this in our clients who need surgery, but especially in dog attack cases.
  • Emotional trauma. It’s a chief area of recovery in fatal cases. But it can occur in injury cases, like extreme fright related to witnessing the tractor trailer spiraling out of control towards you, then being wheeled into a serious spinal operation after the trucking wreck.
  • Mental anguish. Often, the most profoundly injured, like folks who get paralyzed or who suffer severe spinal injuries or multiple broken bones, agonize over their future and all they’ve lost as a result of the accident.
  • Embarrassment. For example, being a young man confined to a walker as a result of a motorcycle crash.

How We Prove Human Loss

We get to know you. We talk with you about the injury’s impact on your life. You describe your pain in your own words. We track how it affects you from the beginning of your case to the end, covering the worst until when your health recovers as best as it can. After all, your case is about you. Then we prepare a summary for the insurance company justifying proper compensation based on your reports. If we can’t get it settled, it’s the basis for how we tell your story to the jury.

Sound like a lot of work? It is. But that’s what you hired us to do. We’re happy to do it. We’re here to make it easy on you. Here’s the top reasons for seriously injured victims to hire an accident lawyer.

If you got hurt from a trucking wreck, auto accident, slip or trip and fall, nursing home neglect, or medical malpractice and don’t know which way to turn to organize your case, start a live chat right where you are, so we can schedule a free meeting to talk about what we can do to help.
