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’s main purpose is to ensure that everyday citizens can hold powerful corporations, insurance companies, and government entities accountable in a court of law. AAJ supports the lawyers who represent victims of negligence or other wrongdoing, ensuring that ordinary individuals have a fair shot at justice.
AAJ has Litigation Groups which provide support for lawyers in specific areas of the law. The lawyers at Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel, P.C. have long history of leading these national litigation groups. In the past, Partner Ira Sherman was the Chairman of the Cyanoacrylate Litigation Group; Partner Joseph Cammarata was the Chairman of the Brain Injury Litigation Group; and Partner Allan M. Siegel was the Chaiman of the Bus Litigation Group.
That history is continuing. At the AAJ Summer Convention in Chicago, Partner Allan M. Siegel was elected to the following leadership positions:
1. Chair of the Distracted Driving Litigation Group
2. Vice Chair of the Trucking Litigation Group
3. Chair-Elect of the Rideshare Litigation Group
4. Secretary of the Traumatic Brain Injury Litigation Group.
Mr. Siegel also currently serves on AAJ’s Board of Governers and the Board of AAJ’s National College of Advocacy.
