That has been Ribbeck Law Chartered’s mission for more than 30 years.
Ribbeck Law Chartered is an aviation and maritime litigation firm headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. Our team brings international and multi-jurisdictional experience to every case. It includes attorneys, engineers, insurance specialists and former diplomats.
We have litigated more than 52 aviation and maritime disasters and recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for the families we represent, most recently in the Boeing 737 MAX cases arising from the Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 and Lion Air Flight 610 crashes.
Most commercial airlines are based outside the United States. So are most of the crashes we handle and most of the families we represent. We have helped clients from more than 75 countries pursue their claims in U.S. courts.
When an American manufacturer or other U.S. company is involved, those courts can offer families a path to accountability, even when the crash happened abroad.
We work with aviation engineers, pilots and other experts to determine what went wrong and who is responsible.
Our team meets with families in person, often in their home countries, and remains accessible throughout the case.
We handle cases on a contingency basis and take on the financial risk of litigation.
Holding airlines and manufacturers accountable gives the industry a powerful reason to make air travel safer.
Grieving families deserve more than legal representation. They deserve straight answers, a team that listens, and advocates who will see the case through.
