Dear Reader,

November is such a great time of year for kids and parents alike.  Halloween and October Festivals are fresh on your mind.  You can almost smell the roasted turkey and pumpkin pie of Thanksgiving. Kids are dreaming of Christmas lists, and parents are planning on presents to buy.  This should be a joyous time to connect with family and loved ones…unfortunately, some of us won’t be enjoying magic moments over the next few months.

It’s sad but true that this season of family, festivities, and fun will be accompanied by an uptick in seriously ill children and adults frequenting urgent care clinics and emergency rooms.

Recently, Pediatrician Dr. Krupa Playforth was interviewed on 4 Washington.  Click here for the full article: 4 Washington-Pediatrician Advice For Fighting Fall Viruses.

Dr. Playforth says she’s seen an increase in COVID, Strep Throat, dangerous respiratory viruses, and Influenza.  These illnesses can derail your plans and upset your life under the best of circumstances and will end the lives of children, parents, and grandparents across our country in the coming months.

So far this year, the CDC has reported 180,295 deaths involving Pneumonia, Influenza, or COVID-19.  Further reports from the CDC indicate that only 70% of the US population, young and old, are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and an average of only 50% of Americans get a flu vaccine each year.

A recent report by the Washington State Department of Health revealed that unvaccinated individuals are between 2.4 and 11.9 times more likely to die from COVID-19 compared to those who received at least one booster dose.

What do all these numbers mean for you and your family?  It’s simple.  Get vaccinated if you want to increase your odds of making it through the season. Get your children vaccinated. Encourage anyone you care about to get vaccinated as well.   You can’t keep your children safe from every danger that lurks in the dark. But you can dramatically stack the odds in their favor of enjoying the holidays far away from hospitals and emergency rooms.

Getting vaccinated is at the top of almost every pediatrician’s list of how to stay safe from illness and disease this season. Add the following top tips from pediatricians, and you will significantly increase your odds of a healthy, fun holiday with your family and loved ones.

  1. Stress the importance of washing hands. Germs are everywhere and easily spread.   Teach your little ones to scrub their hands for at least 20 seconds, especially after sneezing or coughing, and lead by example.
  2. Boost Immunity with Nutrition. A balanced diet rich in veggies, high-quality protein, fruits, and whole grains can keep you and the kiddos running strong. Be sure to add foods high in Vitamin C and Zinc for an extra immune system boost.
  3. Get enough sleep. Most of us are sleep-deprived.  Doctors recommend we get 7-9 hours of sleep a night as adults and children need more, somewhere between 9-12 hours a night.   With jobs, family obligations, and a list of chores, most of us are lucky to clear six hours a night, and statistics show our kids fall short as well. Make a point to aim for bedtime at least 30 minutes earlier than normal.  The kids might grumble, but the added sleep will do wonders for their health and their immunity.   While you’re at it, do the same for yourself.  Your body will thank you.
  4. Stay Active. Physical activity helps keep the immune system strong, fight off infection, and reduce the risk of illness.  So, keep your family moving.
  5. Drink plenty of fluids. You’ve probably heard this advice from your pediatrician when recovering from a cold.  It’s good advice. Advice you should follow whether you’re currently ill or trying to stay healthy through the season.  Staying well hydrated helps your body fight off infection by flushing out toxins and transporting vital nutrients throughout your system.
  6. Clean and disinfect. Make wiping down doorknobs, light switches, toys, and common areas part of your daily routine and reduce the risk of spreading dangerous germs.
  7. Isolate when ill. If you or your little one is sick, stay home. Don’t go to work and keep the kids home from school.  Please do your part to keep our community safe by stopping the spread.
  8. See your doctor if you or your child develops a fever, cough, or difficulty breathing. The faster you begin treatment, the better your outcome is likely to be.

While these tips can go a long way in protecting your child from fall viruses, it’s important to recognize that unforeseen circumstances can disrupt even the best-laid plans. In a world where we strive to protect our children from every possible danger, one important element is to have a comprehensive child protection plan.

I’m pleased to announce the Child Protection Plan now offered at my law firm.  This plan, like a vaccine or immunization, is a way to protect your child from potential peril.   Just like most of us are not planning to fall ill this season, none of us plan to be killed on the road home—yet we all know that people die in accidents across our nations every day.  

Your Child Protection Plan helps ensure your child’s well-being is properly cared for in the unfortunate event of your death. With this plan, you can make legally sound arrangements for guardianship and financial security, granting your children the protection and care they deserve.

By safeguarding your child’s health and future, you’re showing your unwavering commitment to their well-being. Fall viruses may come and go, but the enduring security of your child is a responsibility that every parent should prioritize.

For more information on the Child Protection Plan and how it can secure your child’s future, email me at paul@samakowlaw.com or text or call 703-472-7688 to arrange for a discreet and confidential conversation about your Children’s Protection Plan.

Until next time, please be safe, and NEVER text while driving!

First class law office . Dealing with a car accident at times becomes tedious. I’ve never dealt with a car accident ever before. I felt fully prepared and knowledgeable throughout, the whole process of my case. They never sold me a dream and they also actually over achieved . The most import thing to me as a client was communication. From the concierge. To the paralegal shoutout Justin. To the attorney on my case. I just wanna say thank you for everything. Going with this law firm was one of the best decisions. I could have made. 5starsssssssssss

I recently worked with Paul Samakow and Rocco on a personal injury case, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Both Paul and Rocco were incredibly friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with. They took the time to understand my needs and kept me very well updated throughout the entire process. They were always willing to go above and beyond to meet my expectations. Even when challenges arose, they remained flexible and open to compromise, ensuring my priorities were always respected.I highly recommend Paul Samakow and Rocco Turzi

I first got injured ( burned in a sensitive area) and I didn't know what to Expect or what to to next. I found Mr samakow and his group online, read.some reviews and gave them a call. Mr samakow took my call and we began the process of gathering details.Throughout this case I was anything but easy to work with - I was frustrated and upset with the insurance company often.Life was happening too fast around me to begin with, and this is without considering the stress from the case itself.However, through all of this chaos and confusion, Mr samakow remained calm, and for the most part found a way to accommodate me at every turn the case took. He was honest about his intentions, and always transparent. My case settled in roughly 15 months!Thanks to paul, and the samakow law group for your patience and professionalism!I'd use again, and I highly recommend. 👌Best regards,Ryan s.

I got in a motor accident in the beginning of the year. had the pleasure of working with the Law offices of paul A. Samakow, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcome and at ease.A special shoutout to Paralegal Evelyn, who was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive throughout the entire process. She took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions promptly, and truly went above and beyond to ensure I felt supported. Her professionalism and compassion made a challenging situation much more manageable.The attorneys at the firm are equally impressive, demonstrating expertise and dedication to their clients. I felt confident in their hands, and they delivered outstanding results.Thank you Evelyn, and the entire team, for your exceptional service!

I've been a nursing home abuse attorney for 25 years. In Virginia the legislature codified understaffing cases for attorneys like me in direct response to the case of Alcoy v. Woodbine which Paul Samakow litigated and won! In short, nursing home residents in Virginia are more protected because of Paul Samakow. Having now gotten to know him better I am moved by how caring and compassionate he is. An attorney that is brilliant and capable coupled with a loving passion for his clients is a dangerous combination. If you are considering hiring an attorney, Paul Samakow will not let you down.

Paul is excellent I trust him with my life. He took on my case not even being in his own state, he had to get a special license to practice in my state just for my case. He took very good care of me and I was a pain in the butt! He assured me that I've made the right choices. He educated me on a lot of things, step by step process. The thing that got me the most was he goes above and beyond professionalism. He keeps you well informed. He's an excellent lawyer ! I can say that he did my case Justice and you'd be a fool not to hire him . Paul will have your best interest first and foremost I can tell you that is fact!

It was a very long process. Having patience for the due justice was the hardest part. All the staff was always very friendly, respectful, and informative of the process. I appreciated the short videos to explain the process and birthday well wishes. I have never been through anything like this. So this hopefully is my first and last. To only receive a mere small amount in the range of $2,600 the other $3,000+ came from my job. So that was hurtful, because someone there or at the insurance company spoke on my behalf saying they did not think my injury ..."a ripped ligament in my knee" was caused by the car crash, and it was degeneration. That was not true. Even the doctor told told me, showed me, and gave me a video of my knee along with documentation for the results of my knee injury. You have it as well. It can never be repaired properly, it is a permanent injury. It will get worse over time. That part was hurtful. Thank you ALL anyway for what you have achieved on my behalf. And may your company have much more success for others. Have a wonderful holiday. Sincerely Mrs. Chase❤🎀🎉🎊
