The town the spring built
Personal Injury Attorney Serving Williamston, South Carolina
Williamston exists because of water. In the fall of 1842, a farmer named West Allen Williams found a mineral spring on his land — local legend says he dreamed of it first — and within a few years people were crossing the state to drink from it, camping in tents when the boarding house he built filled up. The Greenville and Columbia Railroad announced in 1849 that its route would run by the spring; the town chartered in 1852 took Williams's name; and the park he donated around the spring is still the middle of town today.
Mineral Spring Park is a working park, not a monument. The spring still flows, the founder himself rests there — his remains were moved to a small family cemetery inside the park in 2002 — and each August the Spring Water Festival fills it with amusement rides, an antique auto show, live music, and a 5K. The 2020 census counted 4,043 residents, and downtown still runs along Main Street. But Main Street is also State Highway 20 — which means everyday through-traffic, festival crowds, and people walking to the park all share the same pavement. That's where a small town's charm and a small town's wrecks come from the same place.
Tom Conits has spent his whole life in family businesses where you look people in the eye — he's worked in his family's Greek restaurant since he was fifteen, and he still takes shifts. He carried that habit through Charleston School of Law and years at several of South Carolina's top personal injury firms, then built his own practice on it. No case managers, no phone trees: when Williamston clients call, Tom answers, and when a meeting is needed, Tom drives to Williamston.
Every case is on contingency — no fee unless we win — and every consultation is free. Call or text (864) 777-1000 and talk it through with Tom directly.
I come to you
Tom Drives to Williamston — About Half an Hour Down US-29
From our office at 100 Williams St in downtown Greenville, Williamston is about 21 miles — roughly a half-hour run down US-29. That's an easy drive for a healthy lawyer and a miserable one for an injured client, which is exactly why Tom is the one who makes it.
When Tom comes to your kitchen table, the meeting runs on your terms. He hears the whole story first. Then he lays out what happens next: the medical bills and how they get handled, the adjuster's playbook and why a recorded statement can wait until you have counsel, what deadlines apply, and what his honest read of the case is. Everything in plain English — or in Greek, if that's your family's language. If you sign, he takes what he needs to open the file before he leaves: photos, the paperwork from the scene, your insurance cards, the discharge papers on the counter. If you're in a hospital bed instead of at a kitchen table, he comes there.

Venue
Where Williamston Injury Cases Are Filed: Anderson County
Williamston sits in Anderson County, so a lawsuit over a Williamston wreck is generally filed in the Anderson County Court of Common Pleas — the civil court for disputes over $7,500 — at the courthouse at 100 South Main Street in downtown Anderson.
"Generally" is doing real work in that sentence. Under South Carolina's venue statute, S.C. Code § 15-7-30, a suit against a South Carolina resident usually belongs in the county where the defendant lived when the claim arose or where the most substantial part of the events occurred. Williamston sits in the corner of Anderson County closest to the Greenville County line, and plenty of the drivers on US-29 and SC-20 live on the other side of it — so the right courthouse for your case depends on facts a billboard firm's intake form never asks about. Tom pins venue down before he files anything, because filing in the wrong county is a gift of time to the insurance company.
And to be clear about your role in all this: you don't have one. Courthouse filings, hearings, scheduling — that's Tom's job. Most injury claims resolve without a courtroom, and most of Tom's clients never see the building.
Local roads, local risks
Williamston's Roads: A State Highway for a Main Street
Main Street is Highway 20
SC-20 runs straight through downtown Williamston as Main Street, meeting SC-8 and the US-29 Connector in town, then continuing north toward Pelzer and south toward Belton. That gives one street three jobs at once: through-route, shopping street, and the front door of Mineral Spring Park. Parking maneuvers, left turns across traffic, and people on foot heading to the park — especially during festival season — are a recipe for the kind of low-speed-but-life-changing collisions that fill an injury lawyer's files.
US-29: the Anderson Highway
The four-lane US-29 passes the edge of town, linked to downtown by the US-29 Connector. It's the workhorse route between Greenville and Anderson — higher speeds, heavy commuter volume, and intersections where local traffic pulls out into through-traffic that isn't slowing down. The wrecks out there are faster and uglier than the downtown variety, and they're the ones that most often end in a hospital stay.
Festival weekends
Every August, the Spring Water Festival brings crowds, rides, a classic auto show, and a 5K to Mineral Spring Park — wonderful for the town, demanding for drivers. More pedestrians, more kids, more cars circling for parking on a Main Street that is still a state highway. Drivers have to adjust; when they don't, the law is on the walker's side, and so is Tom.
Where the ambulance goes
For serious Williamston wrecks, EMS often runs to AnMed Medical Center at 800 N. Fant Street in Anderson, whose emergency department is a Level III trauma center. The most severe cases are frequently taken up US-29 to Greenville Memorial, the Upstate's Level I trauma center. Wherever you were treated, those records — ER notes, imaging, bills — carry your claim, and Tom collects every page of them. The distance itself is part of the story too: Tom has written about why the same crash is worse on the Upstate's rural roads — slower EMS response, longer trauma-center rides, and what both mean for a claim.

First steps
After a Williamston Wreck: Two Forms and One Trap
The first form is the FR-10, which the investigating officer hands each driver at the scene. It's the one-page South Carolina form verifying insurance coverage, and you have 15 days to get it to your insurance company, which submits it to the SCDMV. Miss that window and your license can be at risk — a bureaucratic wound on top of a physical one.
The second form is the officer's full collision report, which comes later and matters far more: diagrams, witness information, contributing-factor codes. Adjusters treat it as gospel. Tom doesn't — he orders it, checks it against the physical evidence and the witnesses, and knows what to do when a report written at a chaotic scene gets something wrong.
The trap is fault-shaving. 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 your assigned percentage of blame. So adjusters work to pin "just" 20 or 30 percent on you — you pulled out too soon from the Connector, you were going a little fast on 29 — and every point they pin is money out of your pocket. Treat any fault split from an insurance company as an opening bid. Tom does, and he makes them prove it.
Evidence has its own clock: skid marks fade, vehicles get crushed, camera footage gets overwritten. It costs nothing to have Tom start today — (864) 777-1000.

Questions
Williamston Personal Injury FAQs
Will Tom really drive to Williamston for a meeting?
Yes — that is the whole model. Williamston is about 21 miles from Tom's office at 100 Williams St in downtown Greenville, roughly half an hour down US-29. He meets clients at kitchen tables, on front porches, and in hospital rooms. You are welcome at the Greenville office, but you never have to make the trip.
Where would my Williamston injury case be filed?
Williamston is in Anderson County, so a lawsuit is generally filed in the Anderson County Court of Common Pleas at the courthouse at 100 South Main Street in Anderson — the court that hears civil cases where more than $7,500 is in dispute. Venue can shift under S.C. Code § 15-7-30 depending on where the defendant lives and where the events happened, and Tom pins that down before he files anything.
The adjuster says the wreck was partly my fault. Am I out of luck?
No. South Carolina follows modified comparative negligence: you can recover as long as you were not more at fault than the other side, though your compensation is reduced by whatever percentage of blame is assigned to you. Adjusters know this and try to shave fault onto you to shrink the payout. A fault split is a negotiating position, not a verdict — do not accept it as fact before a lawyer has looked at the evidence.
What is the FR-10 form the officer gave me?
The FR-10 is the one-page South Carolina form that verifies your insurance coverage after a wreck. You have 15 days to get it to your insurance company, which submits it to the SCDMV to confirm your coverage was in force. It is separate from the officer's full collision report, which comes later and matters far more to your injury claim — Tom orders that report and reads it line by line.
What does hiring Tom cost?
Nothing up front, and nothing at all unless we win. The consultation is free, and injury cases are handled on contingency — the fee comes out of the recovery, never out of your pocket. If Tom does not recover money for you, you do not owe a fee.
