New York Lawyers Persist in the Quest for Justice for 9/11 Victims and Families

As the anniversary of the tragic September 11, 2001 attacks approaches, Kreindler & Kreindler LLP stands committed to remembering the nearly 3,000 victims and their families who suffered immensely as a result of this horrific event. The firm, known for its advocacy and legal expertise, continues to support those affected, including first responders and civilians who witnessed the devastation in Lower Manhattan.

Kreindler's team, led by Managing Partner Noah H. Kushlefsky and Partner Megan Wolfe Benett, works tirelessly on behalf of those who have endured the long-term health consequences of toxic exposure resulting from the attacks. This commitment is rooted deeply in personal experience for Kushlefsky, who recalls, "I was there. I went to work every day. I saw the devastation of Lower Manhattan. Representing people affected by the terror attacks has been the fabric of my entire life."

The firm's efforts include assisting victims in obtaining medical treatment and securing financial compensation through the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund. Moreover, their litigation team is in pursuit of justice not only for 9/11 victims but also for victims of terrorism globally. They are instrumental in an ongoing lawsuit against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which is accused of providing support to the hijackers.

The journey toward justice wasn’t easy. Over the years, Kreindler has faced numerous political and legal hurdles but has remained steadfast. Their relentless advocacy played a crucial role in the passage of the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA) in 2016, enabling U.S. victims to hold foreign nations accountable for their roles in terrorist acts.

Kreindler’s history in representing victims of terrorism dates back to the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, where they achieved a groundbreaking recovery of nearly $3 billion against Libya and Pan Am. This unique global experience in the realm of aviation and terrorism law has positioned Kreindler & Kreindler as a revered firm in the pursuit of justice.

As they honor the memories of those lost on September 11, Kreindler & Kreindler LLP remains dedicated to ensuring justice prevails for the victims and their families, emphasizing their importance in the fabric of America’s history and the ongoing fight against terrorism.

In the lead-up to this anniversary, Kreindler calls upon the nation to reflect on the sacrifices made and the continued struggles faced by victims and their families. They advocate for recognition, support, and the necessity to never forget the lives lost and impacted by this tragedy. Their unwavering pursuit of justice reflects not only their legal prowess but also their commitment to serving the public and fostering healing within communities affected by terrorism.
