De Caro & Kaplen, LLP Provides Compassionate Legal Representation to the Victims of Car Crashes and Their Families

Over the last 26 years we have represented many individuals who have sustained concussions and other lasting brain damage as a result of an automobile accident. We have been privileged to compassionately fight for individuals who suffered the lasting effects of unconsciousness, brain bleeds, and fractured skulls as well as those who became comatose. In each case we have made it a priority to learn about the brain injury and have taken the time to understand how that brain trauma sustained from the car accident has affected the individual and his or her family.

We are car accident lawyers who understand how to assist victims of serious motor vehicle wrecks. A serious automobile accident requires lawyers with the knowledge and experience necessary to understand and represent you for your personal injuries.

Our New York car accident lawyers at DeCaro & Kaplen, LLP can assist you with your auto accident case. We offer a free, no obligation consultation. Our New York auto accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, so there are no fees due until the end of the case for the recovery that we obtain on your behalf.

Car accidents don't just happen

Car crashes happen in many predictable ways:

• inadequate attention by a driver to the road and driving conditions
• unsafe or improper turns
• failure to obey traffic signs and control devices
• driving at unsafe speeds
• dangerous lane changes or failure to yield the right of way.

We have successfully represented drivers, passengers and pedestrians injured in each of these types of car crashes.

The depth of knowledge and experience in the area of automobile accident liability has led to our senior partner, New York car accident lawyer Michael Kaplen's election as Chairperson of the prestigious Motor Vehicle Section of the Association of Trial Lawyers of America (ATLA).

Careful preparation is the key to the successful representation of your car crash case

The car accident lawyers at De Caro & Kaplen, LLP know how to put science and technology to work to recreate and prove to a jury how and why an automobile accident happened. Through the use of computer models, professional accident reconstruction, analysis of the wreck and the car crash scene, the professional consultants who are retained by our law firm will recreate the auto accident and its causes.

Put our accident reconstruction experts to work for you.

In a recent car accident case handled by our firm, a woman crossing the street was struck by a car making a left turn. By utilizing the expertise of trained accident reconstruction experts, we were able to determine that our client was clearly in the cross walk and should have been seen by the turning car before being hit.

In another case, through the use of trained automobile accident experts, we were able to show a jury that the vehicle that struck our clients' car was driving too fast and exceeding the posted speed limits.

Proving your injury in an automobile accident

While safer cars have reduced the rate of and severity of personal injuries in car crashes, many automobile accidents -- even minor fender benders -- still cause significant and permanent injuries to the car's occupants. The amount of damage to the car does not always translate into the amount of damage to the driver or passengers.

Predicting the severity of your car accident injury cannot be done simply by looking at a photo of the car crash.
