The cost of healthcare bills can add up quickly after a car accident. If another driver caused your injuries, his or her insurance company should pay your medical bills, but the insurer won’t pay anything until your case has been resolved by a settlement or verdict. Make no mistake, they will lie to you and tell you that they will make a quick settlement and pay all of your medical bills but that is not how the game is played. The fact is that Insurers are not in the business of paying for medical bills as they arise and they only have their interests in mind so don’t be fooled.
Some accident victims are hesitant to seek medical attention because they fear the expense. This, however, can be a costly mistake. If you do not visit a doctor immediately after your crash, the insurance company may argue that your injuries were not serious enough to require treatment and, therefore, they do not warrant compensation. Being injured by a driver with minimum limits insurance further complicates the situation. Our experienced team of lawyers is ready to guide you towards a positive resolution.
With over 25 years of legal experience, Paul Hammack provides his clients with a level of trial expertise and strategic insight rarely found in personal injury litigation. Having spent the first eight years of his career working within major insurance defense firms across Georgia and South Carolina, Paul gained an intimate understanding of the “other side’s” playbook. This insurance industry background serves as a unique differentiator for his clients; he knows exactly how insurance carriers evaluate risk and what motivates them to pay top dollar for a claim.

As a seasoned litigator, he has tried dozens of first-chair cases to verdict, specializing in high-stakes litigation involving catastrophic injuries and complex truck accidents. His dual-state practice allows him to provide aggressive representation across both South Carolina and Georgia, ensuring victims of negligence receive the maximum financial compensation possible regardless of which side of the state line the accident occurred.
Paul’s commitment to excellence is reflected in his record of significant achievements, including a $10 million tractor-trailer wrongful death settlement and a $3.9 million moped-versus-truck recovery. His credentials and bar admissions in both South Carolina and Georgia underscore his deep roots in the regional legal community. Beyond the courtroom, Paul is a dedicated advocate for his local community, contributing his time and resources to organizations such as the United Way, Red Cross, and Hands On Greenville, all while working to make South Carolina a safer place for everyone.
