Every parent’s unthinkable, unbearable nightmare is the loss of a child. Your heart and soul cannot and will not accept it. Such was my journey in May, 1999, when my daughter, Vicki Harris Haupt, was involved in a tragic accident in Tupelo, Mississippi. Vicki died 22 months later, after extreme suffering, as a result of negligence and the poor company policies of a large organization. When that company refused to pay Vicki’s $400,000 medical bill, even though she was covered through them, my unbearable grief became anger and rage. It was as if they were saying Vicki’s life was of no value. This added tremendously to my and my family’s suffering. I began to search for someone to help me make things right. I was blessed to have Jim Reeves as one of my attorneys. He patiently listened to my pain and began the battle to make things right. He guided me and my family through the long, sad journey of depositions and discovery. I was very impressed with his knowledge and expertise and I will forever be grateful for his compassion. Because of the efforts of Mr. Reeves and his co-workers, the mediation in my daughter’s death went very well. The other company repaid Vicki’s medical bills, accepted responsibility and did apologize for my daughter’s death. That was the most painful period of my life, but thank God I had Jim Reeves working for me and Vicki. I count Mr. Reeves as a friend. Anyone who may need an attorney will be well served with him.
