Watch our attorneys explain how they fight for car accident victims across DC, Maryland, and Virginia. With over $1 billion recovered, our team knows how to build a winning case — from investigation through trial.

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.

The American Association for Justice (AAJ) is a national organization which aims to promote justice and fairness for injured individuals and safeguard their right to a trial by jury. AAJ strives to strengthen the civil justice system through education and advocacy, ensuring victims can hold responsible parties accountable for negligence or misconduct.

AAJ has Litigation Groups that are member-led groups comprised of lawyers from across the country, that focus on specific areas of litigation. The lawyers at Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel, P.C. have historically been leaders of many of these groups.

  • Partner Ira Sherman was the Chairman of the Cyanoacrylate Litigation Group
  • Partner Joseph Cammarata was the Chairman of the Brain Injury Litigation Group
  • Partner Allan M. Siegel was the Chairman of the Bus Litigation Group

At the AAJ’s Summer Convention in San Francisco, Partner Allan M. Siegel moved up the leadership chains of AAJ’s two largest litigation groups, the Brain Injury Litigation Group, and the Trucking Litigation Group. He was elected the Treasurer of the Brain Injury Litigation Group, and the Secretary of the Trucking Litigation Group.

Mr. Siegel also was invited to lecture to both groups in San Francisco. He presented on Identifying Traumatic Brain Injuries at the Traumatic Brain Injury Litigation Seminar, and on Trucking and Bus Cases in Urban Environments at the Trucking Litigation Seminar.
