Why Injured Individuals in Spartanburg Choose McCravy, Newlon, & Clardy
When you’re hurt and worried about money, you need a firm that’s both experienced and straight with you. Here’s what sets us apart.
30 years of experience
For three decades, we’ve represented South Carolina families in serious injury and wrongful death cases. We understand how insurance companies investigate claims, build their defenses, and respond to them. That experience helps us anticipate the other side’s moves before they make them.
An ethics-first approach
We believe good representation starts with honesty. We’ll give you a candid read on your case, explain your options in plain English, and never pressure you into a decision that isn’t right for you. If we don’t think a lawsuit is in your best interest, we’ll tell you.
Seven offices across South Carolina
With seven offices across the state, including our Spartanburg location on Warren H. Abernathy Highway, help is close by. You can meet with a lawyer near you instead of driving hours for a conversation, which matters when you’re already juggling injuries and appointments.
No fee unless we win
Your consultation is free, and we handle personal injury cases on a contingency basis. That means you don’t pay us anything unless we recover compensation for you. You receive experienced representation without any upfront cost or added financial stress.
Don’t let the insurance company set the terms while you’re still recovering. Call 866-MCCRAVY today for a free case review.
Our Personal Injury Practice Areas
Personal injury is one of our primary focus areas. We represent injured individuals across a wide range of cases in the Spartanburg area.
Car and motorcycle accidents
From rear-end collisions on Reidville Road to high-speed wrecks on the interstate, we handle the full range of motor vehicle crashes. Motorcycle riders face especially severe injuries and often are unfairly blamed for crashes that weren’t their fault. We work to set the record straight with evidence.
Truck accidents
Spartanburg sits at the crossroads of major freight routes, and a collision with a fully loaded tractor-trailer can be catastrophic. These cases involve trucking companies, their insurers, and federal safety regulations, so they demand fast action and a thorough investigation to preserve logs, data, and other key evidence.
Wrongful death and catastrophic injury
When an accident takes a life or causes a life-altering injury, such as a traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury, the stakes couldn’t be higher. We help families pursue compensation for long-term medical care, lost income, and the profound personal losses these cases involve.
Slip and fall, premises liability, and dog bites
Property owners have a duty to keep their premises reasonably safe. When they don’t, and someone is hurt in a fall or attacked by a dog, we work to hold the responsible party accountable for the harm they caused.
Personal injury and workers’ compensation are our two primary focus areas. We also handle medical malpractice and Social Security disability claims. Whatever your situation, we’ll point you in the right direction.
Why Personal Injury Cases Matter in Spartanburg
Spartanburg is a hub city for the Upstate, and that growth and traffic bring real risks for the individuals who live, work, and drive here.
The I-85 and I-26 freight corridor
Spartanburg sits where Interstate 85 and Interstate 26 carry heavy freight traffic across the Upstate every single day. That constant mix of daily commuters and long-haul tractor-trailers makes serious truck and car crashes a regular reality. These collisions often leave people with injuries that take months or even years to heal, and the resulting claims can be complex because more than one party may share the blame.
Spartanburg’s trauma network
When a crash is severe, many injured individuals in the area are treated at Spartanburg Medical Center, the Level I trauma center serving the region. A Level I trauma designation means the hospital is equipped to handle the most serious injuries, from major head trauma to multiple fractures. It also means the medical bills can quickly climb into the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. Those costs, along with lost income and ongoing care, are exactly what a personal injury claim is meant to recover.
Where your case is handled
Most personal injury lawsuits in the area are filed at the Spartanburg County Courthouse. While the vast majority of cases settle before they ever reach a courtroom, we prepare every case as if it’s going before a jury. Insurance companies pay attention to which firms are willing to try a case, and that preparation is often what moves them toward a fair offer.

How our Personal Injury Process Works
We keep the process simple and transparent so you can focus on healing while we handle the legal work.
Step 1: Free consultation
We start by listening. You tell us what happened, we ask questions, and we give you an honest assessment of whether you have a case. This first conversation costs you nothing and comes with no obligation.
Step 2: Investigation
We gather the evidence that proves what happened and who’s responsible: police reports, medical records, witness statements, and any available photos or video. In truck and serious crash cases, we move quickly to preserve evidence before it can disappear.
Step 3: Building and filing your claim
We calculate the full value of your losses, including current and future medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Then we present a demand to the insurance company. If they won’t deal fairly, we’re prepared to file suit on your behalf.
Step 4: Negotiation or trial
Most cases settle through negotiation, and we push hard for a fair number. But if the insurance company refuses to offer what your case is worth, we’re ready to take it to trial and make our case to a jury.
Our Track Record
For 30 years, McCravy, Newlon, & Clardy has represented injured individuals and grieving families throughout South Carolina, handling everything from minor injury claims to serious and catastrophic cases. That experience across the Upstate and beyond means we’ve seen how these cases unfold and what it takes to build a strong one.
Every case is unique, and the value of a claim always depends on its specific facts. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Every case is different.

Frequently Asked Questions About Spartanburg Personal Injury Claims
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
Nothing upfront. Your consultation is free, and we work on a contingency-fee basis, which means you don’t pay us anything unless we recover compensation for you. That lets you receive experienced help without adding to the financial pressure you’re already feeling.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in South Carolina?
In most South Carolina personal injury cases, you have three years to bring an action for injury to the person under Section 15-3-530. Waiting hurts your case because evidence disappears, witnesses’ memories fade, and insurance companies use delay against you. The sooner you call, the better we can protect your claim.
What if I were partly at fault for the accident?
You may still recover compensation. South Carolina uses a modified comparative negligence model, so you can recover damages if your negligence is not greater than the defendant’s, and your damages are reduced in proportion to your share of fault. In plain terms, that means you can recover as long as you’re not more than 50% to blame. This is exactly why it matters who represents you: we build cases that anticipate and counter the other side’s attempts to shift blame.
How do I know if I have a case?
The only way to know for sure is to speak with us. Many people assume their injury isn’t serious enough to matter, then learn they have a strong claim. Our consultation is free, and there’s no obligation, so there’s no risk in finding out where you stand.
Should I talk to the insurance company before calling a lawyer?
Be careful. Insurance adjusters often call early, sound friendly, and look for statements they can use to reduce or deny your claim. You’re not required to give a recorded statement, and it’s smart to talk with a lawyer first so you don’t say anything that could hurt your case.
Will my case go to court?
Probably not. Most personal injury cases settle through negotiation without a trial. We still prepare every case for court because that readiness often pushes the insurance company toward a fair settlement.
How long will my case take?
Every case is different. Some straightforward claims settle in a matter of months, while serious cases involving major injuries or disputed fault can take a year or longer. We won’t rush you into accepting a low settlement just to close the file, and we’ll keep you updated at every stage so you always know where things stand.
Do you handle cases in Spartanburg?
Yes. Our Spartanburg office is located at 8801 Warren H. Abernathy Highway, and we represent injured individuals throughout Spartanburg County and the surrounding Upstate. With seven offices across South Carolina, there’s likely one close to you.
