Traumatic Brain Injury Litigation Group Elects Shana DeCaro, Treasurer

By Michael Kaplen

Congratulations to my partner, SHANA DE CARO for being elected an officer of the American Association of Justice (AAJ) Traumatic Brain Injury Litigation Group.  Shana has served as a member of the executive board for the past four years and was unanimously elected an officer at our annual meeting just held as part of the American Association of Justice annual convention held in Philadelphia Pennsylvania.   Shana also focuses her practice along with me in representing victims of brain trauma throughout the country.

The AAJ Traumatic Brain Injury Litigation Group was formed approximately twenty years ago by attorneys with a special interest in representing individuals who have sustained traumatic brain damage.  We meet several times a year to discuss the medical and legal issues surrounding traumatic brain injury litigation and host programs to teach personal injury lawyers how to effectively represent individuals and their families in traumatic brain injury cases. 

I am a past chair of the traumatic brain injury litigation group and one of its founding members.  I continue to be an active member of the group and continue my lecturing to attorneys throughout the country.

In  addition to Shana's accomplishments in the field of traumatic brain injury litigation, she also serves as a member of the Board of Trustees of the Civil Justice Foundation, a prestigious group of attorneys that provides resources to grass root non for profit groups throughout the country who provide services for victims of accidents and injury and also work to prevent future injuries from occurring. She is also an active member of the Brain Injury Association of New York State.

If Shana or I can assist your family and yourself with your brain injury legal case, please do not hesitate to contact us.  We can be reached toll free at 1 866 BRAIN LAW or by email.

We handle cases of individuals who have sustained traumatic brain damage as a result of all types of accidents, including car accidents, truck accidents and other motor vehicle accidents.  We also represent individuals who have sustained brain damage as a result of medical malpractice such as hypoxia and anoxia caused at birth, at surgery including anesthesia and as a result of misdiagnosis including stroke or other neurological conditions.  You can also visit our brainlaw web site for more information about our brain injury legal practice.
