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.?

Is it expensive to hire a South Carolina workers’ compensation attorney?

No. South Carolina workers’ comp attorneys get paid by a “contingency fee.” This fee is a portion of your financial settlement. In addition to that, you also reimburse the lawyer from the settlement for any costs expended to help your case.

This fee arrangement helps you because your lawyer should be driven to get the best settlement possible—the more you get, the more he earns. Plus there’s no upfront retainer fees, which you might be unable to afford from losing work due to your injuries.

If you hire the right South Carolina workers’ comp attorney, you can benefit in ways you might not even know. Our clients get the added advantage of our process to handle your workers’ comp case as quick and easy as possible without sacrificing the ultimate goal of a good settlement.

To give you a better idea how South Carolina workers’ comp attorney fees work, we’ll break it down a little more.

South Carolina Workers’ Compensation Attorney Fees

How much do South Carolina workers’ comp lawyers take from a settlement? The law caps attorney fees at a maximum of one-third of your monetary settlement. Before anyone gets paid from it, your lawyer must submit a form signed by both of you showing payments from the settlement—his fee, the reimbursed costs, and the amount you get.

No one gets paid until the commission approves the fees and costs by order. This protects workers from dishonest lawyers who charge too much.

Typical South Carolina Workers’ Comp Lawyers Costs

Your lawyer pays these costs upfront to help your case. At Holland & Usry, we work to minimize these expenses—without hurting your case—to help you get the most money possible.

Typical case expenses include:

Fees for evidence. For a small fee, we get a copy of the Commission file, which can contain important basic information like the first report of injury showing how your employer reported the accident. It might also contain other forms filed by your employer that supply other useful nuggets about your case, including your “comp rate,” the amount you get paid if you’re out of work on temporary total disability.
Fees charged by providers for medical records. We can’t fully evaluate your case without knowing what your doctors say. We especially need information from your medical caregivers that will help use evaluate your impairment rating.
Fees charged by your doctor to meet with him. Sometimes we meet with your doctor to discuss your case, especially to be sure he relates the injury to work, to discuss impairment ratings, and evaluate whether you need future medical care. This isn’t a bribe—it makes up for the time he loses with patients to meet with us.

These costs are usually a few hundred bucks or less. But if your case is contested, we may have additional costs, due to:

Filing fees. The Commission charges a fee to request a hearing.
Depositions. This is out-of-court sworn testimony where the insurance company lawyer asks you all about your background, injury, and the impact it had on your life at work and home. We may also take depositions, if absolutely necessary. Again we’re working to minimize your costs to maximize your settlement to you.
Experts. Only rare cases require them. Examples include second opinions and, in some severe injury cases, a vocational evaluation expert. We might employ a vocational evaluator if we’re trying to prove you eligible for maximum benefits of permanent and total disability or wage loss. The evaluator can tell us whether you can work again and, if so, the limits of your ability to earn wages. Because experts can make costs skyrocket, we use them only when absolutely necessary.
Mediation. This is rare. It’s only required in certain cases, including permanent and total disability cases. In mediation, the parties hire another lawyer with no interest in the outcome and experience in comp cases to help them settle it.

Contested case costs can run into the low thousands.
