What set's us apart from most personal injury law firms is our commitment
and compassion to protect the rights of brain injury victims. De Caro & Kaplen, LLP are lawyers
that concentrate their practice on representing victims of traumatic brain damage.
We provide compassionate legal representation to the victims of negligence and their families.
Sporting accidents are a major cause of traumatic brain injury. Any time an individual engaged in a sporting activity
receives a blow to the head or strikes his/her head, a sideline evaluation must be performed. It is important that repeated
insults to the brain be avoided within a short period of time.
The American Academy of Neurology has set forth a way for coaches and others at a sporting event to determine when
and how long a player should be removed from play. REMEMBER, YOU DON’T HAVE TO LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS
TO HAVE SUSTAINED A CONCUSSION.
At DE CARO & KAPLEN, LLP, we believe that the best cure for a brain injury is prevention. That’s why we support
community efforts to have both adults and children always wear a properly fitted helmet when bicycle riding, in line
skating, skate boarding, rollerblading, skiing, ice skating and when playing football, baseball and hockey
