Three of the firm’s partners — including the co-founders of the Brain Injury Association of Metropolitan Washington, DC — discuss TBI litigation, the firm’s preferred attorney status with the Brain Injury Association of America, and the DC Athletic Concussion Protection Act, which attorney Joseph Cammarata drafted into law.

Ira Sherman (00:01): Your brain is like the yolk in an egg, so when you shake the egg, you don’t have to crack it. You just go like that, and the yolk is affected. I was on the board of Directors of the Brain Injury Association of America. I was treasurer of the Brain Injury Association of America. Mr. Camara and I started the DC chapter, the Affiliate of the Brain Injury Association of America, which didn’t exist. We are the preferred lawyers of the Brain Injury Association in the Washington DC Metropolitan area. And what I mean by that is, is that the Brain Injury Association of America designates individual attorneys that they recognize as being experienced in handling cases involving traumatic brain injury to determine if they have a case and make sure that it’s handled properly.

Allan Siegel (00:54): You get hurt in sports and you get sent right back into the game, or you knocked your head and you get back up and you go about your day. Nobody really thought much about those injuries a long time ago, but we did. We understood the seriousness of those types of injuries and how sometimes you could have serious ongoing effects from what is even a mild traumatic brain injury or what is often referred to as a concussion.

Joseph Cammarata (01:21): I co-founded the Brain Injury Association of Washington, DC. I drafted legislation which became law in the District of Columbia to protect youth athletes from concussion. Concussion is a brain injury, a traumatic brain injury that can cause significant harm, cognitive deficits, emotional disturbances, vision problems, hearing problems. And so it’s important to be able to do the investigation, but do the legwork that’s necessary to put together the case to establish that there has been harm, but it’s invisible, right? You can’t see it, but the impact is real. And so it’s our job to bring to life the impact and show that this is real as a result of some trauma.

Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel, P.C. is pleased to announce that two of our firm’s Partners – Joseph Cammarata and Allan M. Siegel – have been selected for inclusion in the 2019 edition of The Best Lawyers in America®!

  • Joseph Cammarata – Partner Joseph Cammarata was recognized in the 2019 Best Lawyers list in two categories; Personal Injury Litigation and Medical Malpractice Law in Washington, D.C. This dual distinction speaks volumes about Mr. Cammarata’s impressive legal career and the esteem and respect he has cultivated among his legal peers. A dual Board Certified Civil Trial Attorney, Mr. Cammarata has earned national recognition for his tenacity in protecting the rights of clients who have been victimized due to the negligence and misconduct of others, particularly in the areas of serious personal injury, wrongful death, medical malpractice, and brain injuries. Over his career, Mr. Cammarata has litigated against insurance companies, government entities, and even the President of the United States in a number of high profile cases. His reputation as a legal authority make him a much sought after public speaker and guest on numerous national and international networks.
  • Allan M. Siegel ­– Partner Allan M. Siegel earned his inclusion in the prestigious Best Lawyers list for his work in Personal Injury Litigation in Washington, D.C. A Board Certified Civil Trial Attorney by the National Board of Trial Advocacy, Mr. Siegel has leveraged his extensive experience and trial skills to help clients prevail in a range of personal injury cases, and recover millions of dollars in compensation for victims and families in matters involving catastrophic injuries, premises liability, truck accidents, brain injuries, and more. Regarded for his legal abilities and passion for the law, Mr. Siegel has held a number of leadership roles in the legal community, including his role as past President of the Trial Lawyers’ Association of Metropolitan Washington, DC, District of Columbia Delegate to The American Association for Justice, and spoken nationally on the topics of traumatic brain injury, and trucking litigation.

Inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America publication is regarded as one of the highest honors in the legal profession, and is a distinction that speaks to not only the record of success attorneys have earned throughout their careers, but also the reputation they have cultivated among their colleagues and peers. In fact, Best Lawyers is known for being a strictly peer-review-based accolade that utilizes a rigorous selection process consisting of peer nominations, independent research, and third party evaluations to curate its final listings. Those who do earn inclusion in a given practice area and geographic location are recognized as the top legal minds in their field, a distinction apt for Partners Cammarata and Siegel, both of whom have been recognized throughout the years in many other prominent publications, including Washington, DC Super Lawyers Magazine (which recognizes just 5% of practicing lawyers in the region), and Washingtonian Magazine’s list of Washington’s “Top Lawyers.”

Our firm congratulates Partner Joseph Cammarata and Partner Allan M. Siegel on this impressive accomplishment. We invite you to learn more about their backgrounds and record of success on their individual attorney bios, or to discuss a potential personal injury case anywhere in Washington, DC, Maryland, or Virginia by contacting us for a free consultation.
