JASTA Lawsuit Claims

Pursuing Justice Under the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA)

The Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA) allows U.S. nationals to hold foreign states and entities accountable for providing material support to acts of terrorism that cause injury or death on American soil. Our firm is committed to guiding victims and families through this complex area of law, helping them seek accountability and compensation.

Understanding JASTA

• What JASTA Does
  Passed in 2016, JASTA amends the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act and Anti-Terrorism Act, making it possible to bring civil claims against foreign states and organizations that provide support for terrorism.
  
• Key Provisions
  • Foreign governments can face claims if they contributed to terrorism in the U.S.
  • Individuals and organizations can be held liable for aiding and abetting designated terrorist groups.
  • The law applies retroactively to acts of terrorism dating back to September 11, 2001.
    

Why JASTA Matters

• Provides a pathway to pursue civil recovery that was previously unavailable.
• Opens doors for claims connected to 9/11 and other acts of terrorism.
• Creates accountability for both governments and private actors who knowingly support terrorism.
