Personal Injury Cases Trey Handles in Greenville
Accidents happen in many ways, and every case is unique. Trey Harrell represents injured people across a wide range of personal injury claims throughout Greenville and the surrounding Upstate region.
Vehicle accidents
Car accidents are one of the most common causes of serious injuries in Greenville. Whether you were rear-ended on Laurens Road, sideswiped on I-85, or hit by a distracted driver on Woodruff Road, Trey can help you pursue the compensation you need to recover. Beyond car accidents, Trey also handles:
– Truck accidents (including commercial 18-wheelers)
– Motorcycle accidents
– Bicycle accidents
– Pedestrian accidents
– Uber and Lyft accidents
– Hit-and-run accidents
– DUI accidents
Truck and motorcycle accident cases often involve more severe injuries and more complex liability questions. Trey’s experience handling these cases means he knows how to investigate thoroughly, identify all responsible parties, and build a strong claim.
Premises liability and slip and fall
Property owners in South Carolina have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe. When they fail to do that, and someone gets hurt, those owners can be held liable. Trey handles premises liability cases involving:
– Slip-and-fall accidents in stores, restaurants, and parking lots
– Injuries caused by poor lighting, broken stairs, or wet floors
– Unsafe conditions on commercial or residential property
– Negligent security leading to injury
These cases can be tricky because insurance companies often try to blame the injured person. Trey knows how to gather evidence and build a case that holds negligent property owners accountable.
Catastrophic injuries and wrongful death
Some accidents change lives forever. Traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, severe burns, and other catastrophic injuries require extensive medical treatment, long-term care, and substantial compensation to meet future needs. Trey handles these high-stakes cases with the seriousness and attention they demand.
When an accident takes a loved one’s life, Trey also represents families in wrongful death claims. As a father of two, he understands the devastating impact of losing a family member and fights to hold the responsible parties accountable while helping families secure their financial future.
Why Greenville Residents Need an Experienced Personal Injury Attorney
After an accident, insurance companies move fast. Their adjusters contact you quickly, sometimes while you’re still in the hospital. They sound friendly and concerned, but their goal is to settle your claim for as little as possible.
Insurance companies aren’t on your side
Most people don’t realize that the insurance adjuster’s job is to protect the insurance company’s bottom line, not to make sure you’re fairly compensated. Common tactics include:
– Offering a quick, lowball settlement before you understand the full extent of your injuries.
– Asking for recorded statements that can be used against you later.
– Disputing the severity of your injuries or claiming they were pre-existing.
– Delaying your claim, hoping you’ll give up or accept less.
Having an experienced personal injury attorney changes the dynamic entirely. Trey knows these tactics because he’s seen them play out hundreds of times. He handles all communication with insurance companies so you can focus on healing.
Protecting your rights from day one
Evidence disappears. Witnesses forget details. Medical records must be collected and organized. The sooner you have an attorney working on your case, the stronger your claim will be. Trey starts investigating immediately, preserving critical evidence and building your case from the very first consultation.

How South Carolina’s Comparative Negligence Law Affects Your Claim
South Carolina follows a modified comparative negligence rule with a 50% bar. This is one of the most important things to understand about personal injury claims in this state.
Here’s what it means in plain terms: if you were partially at fault for the accident, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. However, if you’re found to be 50% or more at fault, you cannot recover any compensation at all.
For example, if a jury determines your total damages are $100,000, but you were 20% at fault, your recovery would be reduced to $80,000. However, if you were found 50% at fault, you would receive nothing.
Insurance companies know this rule and use it aggressively. They’ll look for any way to shift blame onto you, even if you were only slightly at fault. That’s why having an attorney who can defend against these arguments is critical. Trey builds cases that anticipate fault arguments and protect your right to full compensation.
The Personal Injury Claims Process
Not knowing what to expect can make a stressful situation even worse. Here’s how the process typically works when you hire Trey Harrell to handle your case.
Free consultation and case evaluation
Everything begins with a conversation. Trey listens, asks about the accident and injuries, and honestly assesses your case. The free consultation has no pressure to hire. If Trey can help, he’ll explain how; if not, he’ll suggest another attorney.
Investigation and evidence gathering
Once Trey takes your case, he gets to work right away. This includes collecting police reports, medical records, and witness statements. Depending on your case, it may also involve hiring accident reconstruction experts, reviewing surveillance footage, or consulting with medical providers to determine the full extent of your injuries.
Demand and negotiation
After your medical treatment stabilizes and the full picture of your damages is clear, Trey sends a demand to the insurance company backed by thorough documentation. He negotiates aggressively to pursue a fair settlement that covers your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any future care you’ll need.
Trial (if necessary)
Most personal injury cases settle through negotiation. But when some insurance companies refuse to offer fair compensation, Trey’s background as a federal prosecutor makes a real difference. He’s not afraid to take your case to a jury trial, and insurance companies know it. That willingness to go to court often leads to better settlement offers because the other side knows Trey will follow through.
What Sets Trey Harrell Apart
Choosing the right attorney matters. Here’s why Greenville residents trust Trey with their personal injury cases.
Former Federal Prosecutor with courtroom confidence
Before representing injured people, Trey served as a federal prosecutor. That experience gave him the skills, confidence, and courtroom presence many personal injury attorneys simply don’t have. When insurance companies know your attorney is ready and willing to go to trial, they take your case more seriously.
Personal attention to every case
Trey isn’t a big corporate firm that treats clients as case numbers. When you hire Trey Harrell, you work directly with him. He walks you through each step of the process, answers your questions, and ensures you understand what’s happening with your case. His approach is patient and professional because he knows you’re going through a difficult time and you deserve to feel supported.
A true family man who understands what’s at stake
As a father of two, Trey understands that an injury doesn’t just affect one person. It affects the whole family. Lost income, mounting medical bills, and the stress of recovery take a toll on everyone. That understanding drives how Trey approaches every case. It’s not just about legal strategy. It’s about helping real families get back on their feet.

Don’t Let The Statute of Limitations Run Out
In South Carolina, you generally have three years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. That might sound like a long time, but it goes by faster than you think. Evidence needs to be preserved, medical treatment needs to be documented, and building a strong case takes time.
Waiting too long can also hurt your case, even if you file within the deadline. Witnesses move away or forget details. Surveillance footage gets deleted. Physical evidence at the accident scene changes. The sooner you contact Trey, the better position you’ll be in to pursue full compensation.
