South Carolina Workers’ Comp and Personal Injury Attorneys

Welcome to the Samuels Reynolds Law Firm. We’ve been proud to serve the hardworking people of South Carolina for over a decade from our office in the heart of Columbia, SC.

Our attorneys, Stephen Samuels and Jason Reynolds, have over 30 years of experience in complex workers’ compensation and personal injury law. We are not a big firm because we don’t want to be a big firm. We have the resources and smarts to go toe to toe with big insurance companies, yet our small team approach means personal service to every client.

We respect the people who do the difficult and sometimes dangerous work that keeps our families together and communities thriving. We understand what a serious personal injury can do to your life, your health and your finances. We are selective in the cases we take on, to make sure we can devote ourselves fully to your serious workers’ compensation, personal injury or wrongful death case.

If you are looking for a small friendly firm with the experience and toughness to maximize your results, bring your case to us.

Any job involving driving or loading is going to result in accidents. Truck accidents can be catastrophic because of the speeds and weights involved. Many truck and delivery drivers are injured lifting, twisting or falling – particularly when using hand trucks and pallet jacks.

Material handling is a high-risk occupation. Any job requiring heavy lifting can cause back and shoulder injuries. Accidents with forklifts, pallet jacks, and hand trucks happen every day, no matter how careful one tries to be.

Construction jobs account for the majority of work-related injuries in the U.S. and 20 percent of fatalities. These include falls, electrocution, being struck by falling objects and lifting heavy materials. Roofing is the 4th most dangerous job in America, with ironworkers, framers, and electricians not far behind.

A manufacturing plant can be a dangerous place. Production workers can have accidents involving machinery; lifting tires and other heavy objects; repetitive trauma injuries resulting in carpal tunnel syndrome; and a host of other injuries.

Police and Correctional Officers put their lives on the line everyday. Law enforcement brings special challenges, as officers can be injured in physical altercations or arrests of suspects and inmates, in high-speed traffic accidents, and even in training.

Work injuries can happen in the safest environments. Don’t be discouraged from calling us because your occupation is not listed. We have represented all kinds of workers in all kinds of injuries.

First Responders (firefighters, EMT's and paramedics) risk their lives and health to save other people. Their devotion to service means they deserve special respect and need to be taken care of when accidents and injuries happen. First Responders are at high risk for lifting injuries and falls, as well as smoke inhalation, chemical exposure and other traumatic events.

The healthcare industry presents its own set of potentially harmful situations. Nurses, CNA’s and paramedics have to lift patients and other heavy objects, are exposed to radiation and chemicals, and are at risk for being exposed to viruses, bacteria, and tainted blood.

A slip and fall may seem like something small but could lead to massive hospital bills and lost wages. If the accident happened because the property wasn’t safe, you may have a case for compensation.

Accidents involving trucks, such as large 18-wheelers, can be some of the most devastating. Trucking companies have investigators and lawyers on call who they send directly to the scene to isolate the truck driver and avoid any incriminating statements. Attorney Jason Reynolds represented large trucking companies for nearly ten years before joining the Samuels Reynolds Law Firm. His experience defending trucking companies means he knows their tactics and can bring that insider knowledge to work for you.

From finances to physical care, you trust nursing homes to care for your loved ones in their greatest time of need. When the care is substandard and even harmful, you need to find help.

When someone’s death is caused by the negligence or the wrong action of another person, no court action can bring that person back to the people who love and depend on him or her. Families suffer real losses when these tragedies happen. A lawyer can help with financial compensation and comfort suffering family and loved ones.

Our pets are thought of as sweet and cuddly friends, but attacks happen every year. Animals that are aggressive and not kept at bay by their owners are a huge threat – especially to small children.

If you or someone you know has been involved in a car accident, you may be overwhelmed by everything that is happening. It can all be very stressful. Samuels Reynolds Law Firm can help relieve some of that stress.
