Virginia Attorney John P. Harris III : is leveling the playing field for auto accident victims and their families. Do you need help in Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania, Caroline County, Stafford, King George ?

If you have been in a car or truck accident, and have suffered an injury that the insurance company won’t offer compensation for, you have two choices. You can either:

Say nothing, accept the pain, the additional expense, the decline or loss of income, and the strong possibility that both the quality and length of your life will be less from now on;

Hire an experienced attorney, who may give you a whole new perspective on your situation.

It’s really quite amazing how many of those injured say nothing or try to handle their own claim

Regardless of what you think of lawyers, if you or a loved one is facing an injury due to someone else's carelessness you want an honest opinion about your case. You don't want legalese. You want straight talk. John (Jack) Harris will tell you the good and the bad about your case. The initial meeting is free.

With that said, there is no field in law that provides attorneys with the same sense of accomplishment that winning a case means. There are easier ways to make money than as a personal injury lawyer, but lawyers who believe in helping people in times when their needs are most dire understand the importance of continuing to take on insurance companies.

Nursing home care is going to be even worse.

The Washington Post reported that Nursing Homes Face Reductions In Services in an article by Chris L. Jenkins.  He was reporting that Gov. Tim Kaine has proposed cutting $400 million dollars from the state's Medicaid program.  I have concerns that this will result in an increased number of injuries to residents.  The article specifically mentions Heritage Hall nursing homes and says that the Leesburg Heritage Hall will take a $2,500,000 hit.  Some of my clients have sued a Heritage Hall nursing home in King George in the past for allowing pressure sores (bed sores) to develop or go untreated and other things that result in a nursing home that is short of staff.  The president of American HealthCare which owns Heritage Hall has said he now plans to cut $500,000 from his staff healthcare plans.  Everyone should keep a close eye on any resident in any nursing home because a move like he has suggest will make it even harder to have an adequate number of staff whether it is Heritage Hall or some other nursing home.  Prevent nursing home abuse visit residents regularly but at irregular times, take notes and TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS particularly of parts of the body not usually seen when you visit.  If you do not look for potential problems, you will not see them.  Look under the covers and on all side of the body.
