Four million dollars — that’s the amount of the additional insurance Hammack Law Firm uncovered after we took over a case from another attorney.
We had a client come to us very frustrated with his prior lawyer after more than a year with no results. Our client was involved in a horrific crash on his moped when a company pickup truck turned left in front of him. He’d been in physical rehab for six months, had five surgeries, multiple broken bones, and no income. He needed our help now. We got involved and immediately went to work.
In two months, we recovered the first layer of liability coverage of $1 million. While resolving that settlement, we uncovered an excess policy worth $4 million. If we had not asked for an affidavit of no additional coverage, he would have never known about that excess policy. As a result of our diligence, we more than tripled our client’s total recovery. It pays to turn over every rock.
At Hammack Law Firm, that is what we do: maximize our clients’ recoveries against the big insurance machine. I’m Paul Hammack, and I’m passionate about helping the injured. At Hammack Law Firm, we put the personal back in personal injury.
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.
In 2008, Paul founded Hammack Law Firm to move away from the “plaintiff mill” model and focus on building personal relationships with those he represents. 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.
