The firm, Tony S. Kalogerakos, Esq.–Injury Lawyers, stated that its New York office is exploring possible civil claims for victims affected by activities linked to ISIS and the Al-Nusrah Front. The announcement signals a potential effort to pursue accountability through U.S. courts for harms tied to internationally designated terrorist organizations.
According to the firm, the investigation focuses on identifying individuals or entities that may be legally responsible for supporting or enabling such groups. If sufficient evidence is found, the firm indicated it may initiate civil litigation on behalf of victims or their families.
Legal experts note that U.S. law allows certain victims of terrorism to seek damages through civil lawsuits, particularly in cases where organizations or third parties are alleged to have provided material support. These cases can involve complex international legal frameworks and often require extensive investigation across jurisdictions.
The firm did not disclose specific cases or plaintiffs but emphasized that the inquiry remains ongoing. Individuals who believe they may have been affected are encouraged to come forward as part of the evaluation process.
The move reflects a broader trend in which legal avenues are increasingly used to pursue accountability for acts of terrorism beyond criminal prosecutions, particularly in situations involving cross-border harm and non-state actors.
Tony S. Kalogerakos, Esq.–Injury Lawyers with offices in Arizona, Illinois and New York has been supporting Assyrian organizations and initiatives in the US for several years. The owner of the firm, Tony S. Kalogerakos, is of mixed Assyrian and Greek descent.
