Richard – Testimonial Video

Richard:
I am a cyclist. Being on a bike makes me feel free. I enjoy riding here in DC in particular because there’s a lot of bike paths. July 21st, 2020, I was riding my bike here in DC on a main road going about 25 miles an hour, and there was a road hazard that I did not see, did not have time to react to, and it catapulted me off of my bike and landed me on my head. I fractured my skull, the left side of my skull. I had bleeding on the brain. I had nerve damage. I still, to this day, do not have full hearing in my left ear, and I have some paralysis on the left side of my face. There was another attorney in New York that referred me here to Alan Siegel, which was a godsend. Allan was always available, always communicative, kept me feel like I was very much in the loop throughout the whole process.
Allan is incredibly welcoming and I have established a friendship with him. When he calls, I immediately pick up the phone because I enjoy talking to him more broadly than simply about law. He has now become a part of my life, and I’m very grateful for that. I think it’s really important for anybody who’s had an injury, such as I’ve had to get in touch with Allan because he will, in very plain speak, help you understand what your opportunity is for recourse on this. Whether you have a case or whether you don’t have a case, how complicated it is. He is incredibly patient in explaining the ins and the outs and ensures that you feel comfortable with whatever avenue you decide to pursue.

A routine ride through Washington, DC turned into a life-altering moment for Richard when an unseen road hazard threw him from his bike at 25 mph. The result: a fractured skull, brain bleed, hearing loss, and facial nerve damage.

In the wake of the crash, Richard was referred to Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel and attorney Allan Siegel. From their first conversation, Richard says he felt respected, informed, and in the loop.

“Allan was always available, always communicative,” Richard said. “He made sure I understood every part of the process and helped me feel confident in whatever path I chose.”

Now on the other side of his legal battle, Richard credits the CSCS team not only with helping him seek justice—but with becoming part of his life.
