Video Transcript **Speakers:** Ira Sherman, Joseph Cammarata, Stephen Ollar, Allan Siegel **Allan Siegel (00:02):** We are a personal injury law firm. That is the only type of work that this law firm does. If you were injured as a result of somebody else’s negligence, then that’s a case that we would handle. So what does that include? Car crash cases. It includes bicycle crash cases, scooter cases, pedestrian accident cases, truck crash cases. It includes bus cases, all of those things, but it also includes situations where you might be hurt on somebody else’s premises. For example, maybe you were hurt at a business, maybe you slipped and fell because they didn’t maintain their floor in a safe condition. **Ira Sherman (00:40):** The insurance company knows that we are aggressive, we are creative. We have the funds to fund a case and hire experts, and as a result, they distinguish us in a category of law firms that they need to know and do know that we can take the case from day one all the way through trial successfully. **Stephen Ollar (01:05):** Insurance is an important factor, not just the insurance coverage on the vehicle that struck you, but also if you have additional insurance coverage that may compensate you if you have very serious injuries. The degree of your injury is important. **Joseph Cammarata (01:21):** Our approach is victim oriented in the sense that we are concerned for the wellbeing of our clients. We do everything to better their lot in life. A person that’s injured in a crash or bike accidents or pedestrian accidents, their life typically gets turned upside down. And we try to right that balance. We make sure that they’re getting the medical treatment that they need, that they’re following through, and that we understand the medicine, we understand just what the person is going through so we can articulate that. We could present that effectively. **Allan Siegel (01:57):** If you’ve been injured as a result of somebody else’s negligence or as a result of somebody else’s intentional act, that’s a case that we would handle and that’s a case that you should call us to consult with us on. # Washington, DC Talc Lawsuit Attorneys ## Talcum Powder Lawyers with 90+ Years of Experience Johnson & Johnson is currently facing more than 1,200 lawsuits alleging that the manufacturing giant failed to warn consumers about the increased cancer risk associated with use of its baby powder and Shower to Shower talcum powders. If you have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer or have lost a loved one after using any of Johnson & Johnson’s talc-containing products, you may be entitled to substantial compensation. [Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel, P.C. ](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/attorney-profiles/)is now accepting talcum powder cases nationwide and is prepared to take immediate action to help you obtain justice. **For a complimentary legal consultation to discuss your recourse options, please **[**contact our firm**](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/contact-us/)**.** ### Talcum Powder Increases Ovarian Cancer Risk by Up to 40 Percent Studies show that women who use talc-containing products around the genital region for feminine hygiene are **up to 40 percent more likely to develop ovarian cancer** than women who do not use powder. Talc, a natural mineral, can travel into the body and become embedded within the tissue of the ovaries. This causes inflammation, which over time can contribute to the formation of potentially cancerous tumors. Because ovarian cancer usually doesn’t produce symptoms, the condition often goes undetected until it has spread throughout the pelvis and belly. By this point, the cancer is more difficult to treat and may be fatal. This risk has been known as far back as the 1970s, and yet Johnson & Johnson has failed to ever warn consumers of this risk by placing a warning label on its products. The company continues to defend the safety of its talcum powder, but has so far been ordered to pay **$127 million** in compensatory and punitive damages between only two cases – making sizable settlements in future cases highly likely. ### Call Today for a Free Talcum Powder Lawsuit Consultation Thousands of women have used talc products for feminine hygiene for decades without having any idea of its potential for causing serious health problems. Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel, P.C. is fighting to protect the rights of people who have been hurt or who have lost a family member due to the negligence of a company they trusted.
