At De Caro & Kaplen, LLP, medical malpractice attorneys Michael V. Kaplen and Shana De Caro have over 45 years of experience investigating malpractice claims and holding negligent healthcare providers accountable.
Here’s how we determine if you have a case:
To prove medical malpractice, we must establish:
✅ Did the doctor do something they shouldn’t have?
✅ Did the doctor fail to do something they were supposed to?
We cannot answer these questions until our experienced malpractice attorneys thoroughly review the care you received.
Michael Kaplen, a board-certified civil trial attorney, explains:
"Malpractice cases require in-depth medical and legal analysis to determine whether a healthcare provider’s mistake caused preventable harm."
The first step in determining malpractice is gathering and analyzing all relevant records, including:
These documents provide critical evidence about the care you received.
To establish negligence, we must determine whether your doctor or hospital failed to meet the accepted medical standard of care.
We share your records with trusted medical experts who provide an independent opinion on whether malpractice occurred.
After the expert review, we examine:
This process helps us determine whether your healthcare provider followed or violated standard medical practices.
Shana De Caro, former Chairwoman of the Brain Injury Association of America, states:
"Medical malpractice cases rely on expert testimony to establish whether a provider’s actions—or failures—deviated from accepted medical standards."
Once we gather all the facts, we:
✔ Assess whether you have a valid malpractice case.
✔ Advise you on how to proceed.
✔ Explain your legal options and potential compensation.
