Chicago-based Ribbeck Law has begun multi-million dollar proceedings against plane manufacturer Boeing on behalf of the relatives of flight ET409 victims. Each family member can commence litigation procedures with a view of compensation, according to Ribbeck’s Attorney at Law Manuel von Ribbeck.
Ribbeck added that the results of official investigations were not relevant in establishing liability for the crash.
“Our investigation can be done in a much shorter time [than the official investigation] provided we are given the information we need. Official investigators are not relevant. The judge decides what went wrong based on the testimonies from the victims’ families and the testimonies of the defendants.”
