"Helicopters should be held to the same safety standards as airliners. It's common sense."

Kreindler Partner and Aviation Accident Attorney Vincent Lesch spoke at a press conference honoring the victims of the 2025 Hudson River sightseeing helicopter crash and introducing a new aviation safety bill. The bipartisan Helicopter Safety Parity Act of 2026 has been introduced in Congress to require helicopters to meet the same rigorous FAA safety requirements as commercial airliners.

Kreindler Partner Erin Applebaum recently authored a piece in the New York Law Journal, highlighting how families of disaster victims serve as a cornerstone for advancing critical aviation reforms, including exposing systemic failures within regulatory bodies and ways corporations circumvent safety and put millions of lives at risk.

From ValuJet Flight 592 to Colgan Flight 3407 to the Boeing 737 Max crashes in 2018 and 2019, the tireless advocacy of these family groups has been pivotal in making aviation safer for all.
