Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel, P.C. Obtains $570,000 for Injured Tractor-Trailer Driver

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Every case is different.  Settlements and verdicts in all cases depend on various factors and circumstances which are unique to each individual case.   Past case results are not a guarantee or prediction of similar results in future cases in which Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel, P.C. or its lawyers may undertake. 

Washington, DC personal injury lawyer Joseph Cammarata has successfully recovered a $570,000 settlement on behalf of a commercial truck driver who was seriously injured following a collision caused by another tractor-trailer. According to the lawsuit filed by Partner Cammarata, Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel's client pulled over onto the highway shoulder after his tractor-trailer experienced mechanical problems. The driver stopped the commercial truck entirely within the shoulder, had his hazard lights on, and had set up safety triangles on the roadway.

Despite taking these precautions, the lawsuit alleged, the driver's tractor-trailer was struck from behind by another tractor-trailer. The collision had been severe enough to cause Partner Cammarata's client to suffer a concussion and leg injury which required multiple surgeries.

Court records show that the truck driver responsible for causing the accident made claims that the other truck was partially in a travel lane and that the victim's injuries were not a significant as reported. The driver's insurance company requested that the case be resolved through medication, where Partner Cammarata was eventually able to secure a $570,000 settlement.

Partner Cammarata's ability to obtain the significant settlement will ensure that the injured truck driver has the compensation he needs. It also says a great deal about his experience handling injury cases involving auto accidents, serious injuries, and concussions. As a founder and current President of the Brain Injury Association of Washington, DC (BIADC), Partner Cammarata routinely fights for brain injury victims.
