What to Do If You’re Injured Due to Negligence
Step 1 is to seek medical treatment since proper medical care is essential to your recovery. Many people hesitate to seek medical treatment, because they are concerned about mounting medical bills or missing work. Do not make this mistake. A Leesburg personal injury lawyer can help you recover these expenses from the person who is legally responsible for causing them in the first place.
Step 2 is to contact Hilton &Somer for a free consultation to discuss the facts and circumstances surrounding your injury. You can come to our office, but we are just as happy to come to you. In fact, we have met countless clients in their homes, hospital rooms, and rehabilitation residences. We recognize how stressful the entire situation can be, so our goal is put your mind at ease as soon as possible.
When we meet, we will discuss how you got injured, the nature of your injuries, and your medical team’s plan for your recovery. This will give us an idea of whether your case is within our areas of expertise.
The Types of Costs You May Be Able to Recover
A personal injury lawyer can help you recover a variety of costs, including:
- Lost wages
- Lost overtime
- Lost sick leave and/or personal time off (PTO)
- Ambulance costs
- X-Rays

Fees for Personal Injury Cases

At Hilton &Somer, we don’t charge an upfront fee or a monthly retainer to work on personal injury cases. Instead, we take our fee, which is charged as a percentage of the final award, once we win your case. And because we only charge a fee if we win your case, you have absolutely nothing to lose.
Pick up the phone today and call our office at 703-560-0700 to discuss your case. If our personal injury attorneys in Leesburg feel that we are a good fit, we’ll proceed forward and work tirelessly to help you collect the compensation you deserve for the injuries you sustained.
