When someone else’s carelessness leaves you hurt, the consequences can quickly accumulate: unexpected medical expenses, missed paychecks, and an insurance adjuster who seems more interested in protecting the company than assisting you. This burden is heavy while you’re trying to recover, and you don’t have to face it alone. At McCravy, Newlon, & Clardy, we have 30 years of experience helping injured clients in Greenwood and throughout South Carolina hold responsible parties accountable and recover what they deserve. Contact us 866-MCCRAVY for a free consultation. You owe nothing unless we win your case.
What Makes McCravy, Newlon, & Clardy Different for Greenwood Clients
Choosing a lawyer after an accident is a big decision, especially when you’re hurting and worried about money. Here’s what sets our firm apart.
Three decades of experience behind you
For three decades, our attorneys have represented injured individuals and grieving families throughout South Carolina. We know how insurance companies build their files, how they try to shift blame onto you, and how to push back. When you hire us, you receive lawyers who have handled cases like yours many times before, so we can spot problems early, before they cost you money or leverage.
Honest counsel at every step
We built this firm on doing right by our clients. That means honest advice about your case, even when it isn’t what you were hoping to hear, clear communication at every step, and no pressure to settle for less than your claim is worth. You’ll always know where things stand and why.
A Greenwood office close to home
With seven offices across South Carolina, help is never far away. Our Greenwood office at 1629 Highway 72 NE puts us right in your community, so you can sit down with a real attorney close to home instead of driving across the state.
You pay nothing unless we win
Worried about cost? Almost everyone is. That’s why we work on a contingency-fee basis. You pay no attorney fees up front and nothing at all unless we recover compensation for you. Your consultation is free, so there’s no risk in simply finding out whether you have a case.

Why This Matters in Greenwood and the Lakelands
Greenwood sits at the center of the Lakelands, where busy highways, local industry, and a growing population all increase the risk of serious accidents. The US-25 and US-72 corridors carry heavy daily traffic, mixing commuters, commercial trucks, and visitors heading to Lake Greenwood, and that mix leads to crashes that can leave people badly hurt. Greenwood’s manufacturing plants and warehouses also mean on-the-job injuries are a real concern for local families, which is one reason workers’ compensation is a core part of our practice.
In serious accidents in the Greenwood area, injured people are often transported to Self Regional Healthcare, the area’s main hospital and trauma center. Costs can climb quickly, and the at-fault driver’s insurance may offer a quick settlement before you understand the full extent of your injuries. Consulting a lawyer first helps ensure you don’t accept less than your claim is worth.
If your case cannot be settled fairly, it may be filed at the Greenwood County Courthouse. Having a local team that knows the courts, the community, and the roads where these crashes happen can make a real difference in how your case is built.
South Carolina law shapes what you can recover
Two rules affect almost every Greenwood injury claim. First, South Carolina operates under a modified comparative negligence rule, which means if you’re less than 51% at fault, you can still recover damages, although your percentage of fault will reduce your compensation. Second, you generally have three years from the date of injury to file suit under S.C. Code Ann. § 15-3-530. Miss that deadline and you can lose your right to recover entirely. You can read the law on the South Carolina Legislature’s website.
Fault rules can make or break your claim. Call 866-MCCRAVY before the insurance company builds its case against you.
Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Greenwood
Personal injury law covers any time you’re hurt because someone else was careless. Personal injury and workers’ compensation are the heart of our practice, and we handle a wide range of claims for clients across Greenwood and the Lakelands.
Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents
Crashes on US-25, US-72, and SC-72 happen every day, and the injuries are often serious. We handle car wrecks, tractor-trailer collisions, and motorcycle accidents, working to prove who caused the crash and recover the full cost of your injuries and lost income. Tractor-trailer cases in particular can involve trucking companies and several insurers, and we know how to identify everyone responsible.
Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
Individuals on foot and on bikes have almost no protection. These crashes often cause catastrophic harm, and we work to hold careless drivers accountable for the damage they leave behind.
Slip and fall and premises liability
Property owners are obligated to keep their spaces in reasonably safe condition. When a wet floor, broken stair, or poorly lit walkway causes a fall, we hold negligent owners and businesses accountable for injuries they could have prevented.
Dog bites and animal attacks
A dog bite can leave lasting physical and emotional scars, especially for children. South Carolina law often holds dog owners responsible when their animal injures someone, and we help families pursue fair compensation for medical care and recovery.
Catastrophic injury and wrongful death
Some injuries change a life forever, and some accidents take a life altogether. We handle traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, severe burns, and wrongful death claims with the care these cases demand, pursuing the long-term support families need to move forward.
Workers’ compensation
Hurt on the job? South Carolina workers’ compensation is a no-fault system, so you may be entitled to benefits even if the accident was partly your own doing. We help injured workers receive medical treatment and wage benefits, and we step in when a claim is wrongly denied.
Not sure if you have a case? The only way to know is to ask. Call 866-MCCRAVY today for a free case review.
How Our Process Works
Our goal is to keep things straightforward so your energy goes toward recovery while we manage the legal work.
Step 1: Free consultation
Call us and tell us what happened. We’ll listen, answer your questions, and tell you honestly whether you have a case. It’s free, and there’s no obligation to hire us.
Step 2: Investigation
If we take your case, we get to work gathering evidence: the police report, medical records, photos, witness statements, and more. We build the strongest claim the facts will support.
Step 3: Negotiation
We deal with the insurance company, so you don’t have to. We handle the calls, the paperwork, and the pressure, and we push hard for a full and fair settlement.
Step 4: Trial if it’s needed
Most cases settle, but if the insurer won’t offer what your case is worth, we’re prepared to file suit and take them to court.
Step 5: Getting you paid
Once we reach a settlement or win at trial, we handle the details, including negotiating down medical liens where possible, so you keep more of your recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions About Greenwood Personal Injury Claims
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
There’s no upfront cost. We work on a contingency-fee basis, which means you don’t pay attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. Your first consultation is always free, so there’s no risk in finding out where you stand.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in South Carolina?
In most cases, you have three years from the date of injury under S.C. Code Ann. § 15-3-530. Some claims carry shorter deadlines, and waiting makes evidence harder to gather, so it’s best to call as soon as you can.
What if I were partly at fault for the accident?
You may still recover. South Carolina uses a modified comparative negligence model with a 51% bar, so as long as you’re less than 51% at fault, you can collect damages reduced by your share of the blame. This is exactly the kind of issue we know how to handle.
How long will my Greenwood injury case take?
Every case moves at its own pace. Some claims settle in a few months, while serious injury cases can take a year or more, especially if you’re still receiving treatment or the insurance company disputes fault. We move as efficiently as we can without rushing you into a low settlement.
Do I really have a case?
The only way to know for sure is to ask. If someone else’s carelessness caused your injury, you may have a claim. We’ll review the facts for free and give you an honest answer about whether it’s worth pursuing.
Will my case have to go to court?
Probably not. Most personal injury claims settle out of court. But if the insurance company won’t offer a fair amount, we’re ready to file suit and try your case.
What can I recover in a personal injury claim?
Compensation often includes medical bills, lost wages, future medical care, and pain and suffering. In cases involving extreme or reckless misconduct, additional damages may apply. We’ll help you understand what fits your situation.
Do you handle cases in Greenwood?
Yes. Our Greenwood office is at 1629 Highway 72 NE, and we represent injured individuals throughout Greenwood County and the Lakelands, as well as the rest of South Carolina, from our seven offices.
