Taylors Personal Injury Lawyer

The biggest town that isn't one

Personal Injury Attorney Serving Taylors, South Carolina

Taylors is a strange and wonderful thing: a community of 23,222 people — bigger than many South Carolina county seats — with no city hall, no mayor, and no city limits sign, because Taylors never incorporated. The last time residents voted on becoming a city, in 2005, incorporation lost 63 to 37 — and Taylors stayed what it has always been: a real town in every way that counts, run on county services and its own stubborn identity.

None of that changes anything about your rights when you're hurt here. A wreck on Wade Hampton Boulevard, a fall in a shopping plaza, a dog bite on a neighborhood street — those cases live in Greenville County's courts, and they deserve a lawyer who actually knows this side of the county, not one who thinks Taylors is just the stretch between Greenville and Greer.

Tom Conits handles injury cases for Taylors people the way he'd want it done for his own family: he takes the case personally, he answers his own phone, and he drives here. Tom has worked in his family's Greek restaurant since he was fifteen years old — and still works shifts there today — so he understands the working people who built this mill town and keep it running. After law school in Charleston and years working for several of South Carolina's top personal injury firms, he built his own practice around one idea: the client should never have to chase their lawyer.

Every case is on contingency — no fee unless we win — and every consultation is free. Call or text (864) 777-1000 and you'll talk to Tom, not a screener.

Local roads, local risks

Wade Hampton Boulevard: The Corridor That Carries Taylors — and Collides

Taylors doesn't have a courthouse square. What it has is Wade Hampton Boulevard — US-29 — running through it on the way from Greenville, about five miles to the southwest, to Greer, about seven miles to the northeast. The boulevard is the community's commercial spine: shopping plazas, restaurants, dealerships, and driveway after driveway feeding traffic onto a road that everybody uses for everything.

That layout produces a very specific kind of wreck. Mid-block signals and endless driveways mean constant speed changes, so rear-end collisions stack up in the through lanes. Left turns across oncoming traffic into the plazas produce side-impact crashes — the T-bones that crumple doors into drivers. And because the corridor mixes commuters, delivery trucks, and shoppers hunting for an entrance, the closing speeds are higher than the strip-mall scenery suggests. Fatal wrecks along the Taylors–Greer stretch of Wade Hampton have made Upstate news repeatedly in recent years, including in front of a Taylors shopping plaza.

Off the boulevard, Taylors is neighborhoods — subdivisions old and new draped over the hills around the Enoree River, which runs right through the community. Neighborhood streets bring their own cases: backing crashes, kids on bikes, dogs off the leash. And getting into or out of Taylors at rush hour means merging with everyone else who calls the east side home.

Where the ambulance goes

For many Taylors wrecks, the nearest emergency room is at Prisma Health Greer Memorial Hospital, 830 S. Buncombe Road, just up the corridor in Greer. The most serious trauma cases are typically taken to Greenville Memorial, the Upstate's Level I trauma center. Wherever you were treated, those records — the ER notes, the imaging, the bills — become the backbone of your claim, and Tom collects every page.

Venue and first steps

Where Taylors Cases Are Filed — and What to Do First

Because Taylors is unincorporated Greenville County, there's no municipal maze to navigate: injury lawsuits are filed in the Greenville County Court of Common Pleas at 305 E. North Street in downtown Greenville — a few blocks from Tom's office. Most injury claims settle before a courtroom ever enters the picture, and either way the filing is Tom's job. Your job is getting better.

The paper trail starts immediately. At the scene of a wreck, the investigating officer hands each driver an FR-10 — South Carolina's insurance-verification form. You have 15 days to get it to your insurance company so it can confirm to the SCDMV that your coverage was in force; miss the window and the DMV can treat your vehicle as uninsured, putting your license and registration at risk. The officer's full collision report comes later, and Tom reads it line by line — diagrams, statements, contributing-factor codes — and knows what to do when it's wrong.

Then comes the blame game. South Carolina follows modified comparative negligence: you can recover as long as you were not more at fault than the other side, but your compensation is reduced by whatever percentage of blame is assigned to you. Adjusters use that rule aggressively in exactly the crashes Wade Hampton produces — "you stopped short," "you turned too soon" — shaving fault onto you a percentage at a time. That shave comes straight out of your recovery, and Tom treats it like what it is: an opening position, not a verdict.

One more clock is running: evidence. Plaza camera footage gets overwritten, damaged cars get crushed, skid marks fade. It costs nothing to have Tom start now — (864) 777-1000.

What to expect

What a House Call in Taylors Looks Like

You call or text (864) 777-1000. You and Tom pick a time — and because Tom still works restaurant shifts himself, he understands schedules that don't fit inside 9 to 5. Then he shows up at your door with the paperwork.

At the table, Tom listens to the whole story first. Then he walks through the practical things: what your medical care and bills look like from here, what the insurance adjuster will do next (and why you shouldn't give a recorded statement before talking to a lawyer), and what the fee is — nothing unless we win, ever. If you hire him, the paperwork gets signed right there, and from that day on the updates come from Tom himself. If the case eventually needs a second sit-down — reviewing a settlement offer, preparing for a deposition — Tom drives back to Taylors. That's the whole model: the lawyer travels, not the client.
