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.?

What to Do After a South Carolina Truck Accident

If you or a loved one has been hit by a commercial truck in Spartanburg, your world may feel like it’s been turned upside down. One minute you’re driving to work or running errands, and the next you’re injured, shaken, and unsure of what comes next. We understand how overwhelming that can be. At Holland & Usry, we’ve helped many people in your shoes navigate the chaos after a serious truck accident. This article is here to walk you through the immediate steps you need to take to protect your health, your rights, and your financial future.

What Should I Do Immediately Following a Truck Accident in Spartanburg?

Step 1: Call 911 Immediately

Your safety comes first. Call 911 to report the accident and request emergency medical help. Even if you think your injuries are minor, the police report and EMT documentation could play a key role in your legal case.

Step 2: Get Medical Attention, Even If You Feel “Fine”

Truck crashes often involve high-speed impacts and massive vehicles. Injuries like internal bleeding, concussions, or spinal trauma don’t always show up right away. Get checked out immediately and follow all medical advice. Your health is your top priority.

Step 3: Stay Put and Speak Carefully

Don’t leave the scene until police arrive and you’ve had a chance to talk to them. And remember: never admit fault. Truck accidents are complex. You might think you’re to blame, but responsibility could lie with the driver, the trucking company, or even a maintenance crew.

How Do Truck Crashes in South Carolina Differ from Car Accidents?

A collision with a semi-truck isn’t just a bigger version of a fender bender. It’s a completely different legal and medical situation:

  • More Severe Injuries: Trucks can weigh 20–30 times more than a car, causing catastrophic damage.
  • More People to Blame: Beyond the driver, the company, cargo loaders, or even mechanics may share liability.
  • More Red Tape: Federal regulations, black box data, and corporate legal teams make these cases tougher to handle alone.

What Evidence Should I Gather After a Truck Accident?

If You Can, Gather This Info at the Scene

We know it’s not always possible. But if you’re physically able, or someone with you can help, try to collect:

  • Photos of the vehicles, road conditions, injuries, and surroundings
  • Contact info for the truck driver, their company, and any witnesses
  • The truck’s license plate, company name, and USDOT number
  • The police report number (you’ll need this later)

Can’t gather evidence because of your injuries? Don’t worry. Our team can step in quickly to preserve what’s needed.

Who Can Be Held Responsible in a Commercial Truck Crash in Spartanburg?

Truck accident claims often involve digging deep to uncover the truth. Here are some of the parties who might be liable:

  • The Truck Driver – for speeding, distraction, fatigue, or drug use
  • The Trucking Company – for hiring unqualified drivers or cutting corners on safety
  • Cargo Loaders – for improper loading that leads to rollovers
  • Maintenance Crews or Manufacturers – for faulty brakes, tires, or other parts

It takes legal experience to identify all the responsible players and hold them accountable. That’s where a truck accident attorney at Holland and Usry can help.

Can I Take Legal Action Against a Trucking Company After a Spartanburg Accident?

Yes. In many cases, the trucking company is legally liable for your injuries. South Carolina law allows victims to seek compensation for:

  • Medical bills (past and future)
  • Lost income and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Property damage

Truck accident claims are often aggressively defended. Insurance companies for large fleets will fight hard to minimize payouts. That’s why having a seasoned legal advocate who understands Spartanburg laws and court systems can make all the difference.
