Green, partners with Kreindler & Kreindler, write that while victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the Unitred States may be disappointed by a recent Second Circuit decision, the litigation, now assigned to U.S. District Judge George B.

In their Aviation Law column, Steven R. Pounian and Justin T. Green, partners with Kreindler & Kreindler, write: Contingent fees generate heated debate, and numerous proposals have been made to regulate them. While certain additional safeguards may be in order, it is unlikely that the contingent fee system can or should be replaced. There is no other satisfactory method by which ordinary citizens can gain access to the courts and have the wherewithal to battle large heavily funded corporations.

What is clear is that in almost every case, the surviving family of a New Yorker will receive a sharply limited recovery compared with those residing in other jurisdictions. It is well past time for New York to adopt realistic death damage rules that recognize the true value of the loss of a family member.
