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!

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.?

Can I Sue If I Get Hit By A Car While Riding My Bicycle In South Carolina?
Yes, as long as you can prove it’s the car, truck, or motorcycle driver’s fault—or more their fault than yours.
To prove fault, you need to know South Carolina bicycle and traffic laws. That’s why it pays to get advice from a Spartanburg car accident attorney who knows South Carolina bicycle laws, which I touch on below.

Key Points of South Carolina Bicycle Rider Rights
South Carolina bike riders have the same rights and responsibilities as any vehicle driver, subject to a few exceptions, under South Carolina Code section 56-5-3420. That means the same traffic laws can be used for or against you as an injured victim in a bicycle accident case. The question is, exactly what traffic laws apply in your case?
Drivers must keep a safe distance from bicycles. South Carolina Code section 56-5-3435 requires drivers to maintain a safe distance between their vehicle and a bicycle, at all times—no exceptions.
The bike lane belongs to you. South Carolina Code section 56-5-3425 forbids drivers from blocking the bicycle lane. This law also requires vehicles entering or crossing the bicycle lane to yield the right of way to bicyclists in it. On the other hand, bicyclists must stay in the bicycle lane unless passing another bicyclist or avoiding an obstruction in that lane. Interestingly, you can ride a bike on the roadway even when there’s a recreational bicycle path available if there’s no bicycle lane.
Stay on the right side of the road. South Carolina Code section 56-5-3430 requires bike riders to stay as near to the right side of the road as possible.
Ride no more than two wide, usually. South Carolina Code section 56-5-3430(D) allows bicyclists to ride no more than two abreast except for parts of the road set aside for the exclusive use of bikes.
At night, use lamps and reflectors. South Carolina Code section 56-5-3470 requires bikes ridden at night to be equipped with a front lamp shining a white light. It also requires a rear red reflector.
Don’t forget your turn signal! South Carolina Code section 56-5-3480 requires bicyclists to use hand signals. For a right turn, you have options: extend the left arm up, make a square with it, or extend the right arm to the right. For a left turn, extend the left arm. Show you’re stopping or slowing by extending either arm down. You don’t have to give signals at all if you need either hand or arm to control the bike.
Keep those brakes working! You should be able to make your wheels skid on dry, level, clean pavement, as required by South Carolina Code section 56-5-3490.
