Domestic and International Aviation Disaster Litigation
Kreindler & Kreindler LLP was founded as a father-and-son practice in 1950, and just two years later-the late Lee Kreindler was hard at work for the plaintiffs on his first airplane accident case at the age of 28. His father told him, "No case will ever reward the kind of effort you're putting into this one."
Kreindler & Kreindler: Recognized Leaders in Airplane Accident Litigation
Notwithstanding his father's prediction, Lee Kreindler found substantial rewards in aviation accident litigation for his clients and our law firm over a long and distinguished career. He pioneered the investigation and trial techniques that guide airplane accident litigation today, and the law firm he helped establish has written, edited and updated the leading professional treatise in the field since 1963. James Kreindler, Lee's son, as one of the firm's current partners continues the family tradition of excellence in client service for airplane crash victims today.
So do Kreindler & Kreindler's eleven other partners and its associates. We're best known for our achievements in national and international aviation accident litigation, and the breadth and depth of our firm's experience can represent a significant advantage for anyone who needs answers about the causes of an accident or compensation for the resulting losses.
We advise and represent vitims of aviation accidents against airlines, manufacturers, maintenance contractors, component suppliers or any other party responsible for the catastrophic consequences of a plane crash. Examples of the kinds of cases our lawyers handle include:
- Major commercial airline accidents
- Accidents involving regional carriers
- International aviation disasters
- Terrorist-related plane crashes
- Private, charter or corporate aircraft accidents
- Military contractor air crashes
- Small plane or general aviation accidents
- Helicopter accidents
Kreindler & Kreindler offers free consultations in all aviation accident cases, and we accept them on a contingent fee basis. In other words, we only recover attorneys fees if we collect compensation for our clients through settlement or trial. Our history of success in this area also enables us to advance the substantial expenses involved with the investigation and proof of claims at our firm's own risk.
Personalized Client Service in a Nationwide Aviation Accident Practice
The attorneys of Kreindler & Kreindler have continued the tradition of fully committed client service that our founding partners embraced 60 years ago. We appoint a dedicated legal team to each client, even in major air disasters where the firm represents multiple plaintiffs. This approach helps assure a highly personalized client experience and reflects our focus on establishing each claim's maximum value.
