P.C.](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/blog/category/chaikin-sherman-cammarata-siegel-p-c/), [Newsletter](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/blog/category/newsletter/) Partner **Joseph Cammarata **was successful in obtaining two settlements in cases involving serious permanent injuries. One case involved a member of the U.S. military, now age 45, who was sideswiped as he was riding his motorcycle on Interstate 395, near the Pentagon, in Arlington, Virginia. As a result of the collision, our client suffered, among other things, a traumatic brain injury, an injury to his foot requiring multiple surgeries, an amputation of his big toe, and complex regional pain syndrome. Due to his injuries, he was forced to take a disability retirement. The law firm took over the case from another attorney. When the law firm took over the case the insurance company had offered $60,000. Partner Joseph Cammarata, along with associate Stephen Ollar, vigorously litigated the case and were successful in winning a settlement in which the insurance company paid all the available insurance of $1,300,000. The second case involved a woman, now age 27, who was riding her bike in Arlington County, Virginia, when a car appeared from a side street and violently struck our client’s bicycle, propelling her across the roadway. As a result of the collision, our client suffered, among other things, a traumatic brain injury and hip and pelvic fractures requiring multiple surgeries. Our client was an avid rock-climbing enthusiast and cyclist. The injuries from the collision had a significant impact on her enjoyment of everyday life. After extensively documenting the nature and extent of our client’s injuries and damages during litigation of the case, Partner Joseph Cammarata was successful in winning a settlement of the case in the amount of $1,800,000.
