Three Spotsylvania High School seniors were killed on March 27 — months before graduation — when their car left Lewiston Road and struck a tree. Speed is believed to have been a factor. Their classmates returned from spring break this week.
No family should have to navigate the aftermath of a tragedy like this alone.
Virginia's wrongful death law gives surviving parents, siblings, and families the right to pursue compensation — but the window to act is only two years from the date of death. The steps you take in the earliest weeks matter enormously.
At Hilton & Somer, we have stood alongside Virginia families in moments of devastating loss for over 60 years. We don't charge a fee unless we recover for your family.

🚨 Virginia Workers' Compensation Alert 🚨

The Virginia Workers' Compensation Commission just warned that scammers are actively targeting injured workers — impersonating attorneys, judges, and state officials to steal money from people who are already hurt and out of work.

Here's what you need to know:
❌ The VWC does NOT charge fees or taxes to release your benefits
❌ They do NOT conduct hearings on WhatsApp
❌ They do NOT ask for gift cards or wire transfers

If you or a loved one has been injured on the job in Virginia, the last thing you need is someone taking advantage of your situation. The first thing you need is a real attorney fighting for your real benefits.

At Hilton & Somer, we have been standing up for injured workers in Northern Virginia since 1965 — on a contingency basis. You pay nothing unless we win.
