Founded in 1950, Kreindler & Kreindler is one of the world’s most notable, highly specialized personal injury law firms. Well-known for its leadership in aviation accident law, New York City-based Kreindler began representing victims and their families almost immediately after the terrorist airplane crashes of September 11, 2001.

For years following 9/11, numerous types of cancer, as well as respiratory illnesses, have been on the rise for people exposed to the air below Canal Street in the months following the tragedy. Many people who were present in the World Trade Center (WTC) exposure zone and were suffering from a persistent cough or breathing issues were surprised at the seriousness of their diagnoses and the cost of expensive treatment. Some never connected their illness to the toxic air following the 9/11 attacks.

The collapse of the Twin Towers in 2001 produced a noxious fog of burning plastic, asbestos, fiberglass and jet fuel. This dangerous, carcinogenic mixture was inhaled by 9/11 first responders but also by half a million people who worked, lived, attended school and even visited Lower Manhattan in the eight months following September 11, 2001.

Were you there? You may be eligible for compensation.
