Asbestos Exposure

Asbestos-Related Cancer May Take Time to Develop

The truth is that 9/11 asbestos-related cancers can take many years to develop after first exposure. Now, in 2019, 9/11 law firms such as Hansen & Rosasco, LLP are just beginning to see the first Victim Compensation Fund (VCF) claims associated with asbestos exposure-related cancer; specifically, mesothelioma and lung cancer. Health experts predict the number of asbestos-related 9/11 cancers will increase until approximately the year 2040.

Were you exposed to asbestos at or near Ground Zero?

If you think you are suffering from a 9/11 cancer due to World Trade Center asbestos exposure, please contact our law firm for guidance and support. We are ready to hear your story of 9/11 asbestos exposure, give you a free case evaluation, and guide you through the VCF and WTCHP application processes.

If you were a first responder, a Downtown Manhattan office worker or resident who worked or lived in the Ground Zero “Exposure Zone," you may unfortunately have been exposed to asbestos, among other harmful dust and debris.

Helping 9/11 Survivors Who Were Exposed to Asbestos

Hansen & Rosasco, LLP currently represents the family of a young woman diagnosed with mesothelioma who passed away in 2017. The woman who died was an insurance executive who walked to work in the area of Ground Zero for many months after the attacks. Other than her exposure to 9/11 asbestos dust and fumes, she had no other risk factors for mesothelioma.

Despite obtaining the best aggressive treatment at Memorial-Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, she eventually succumbed to her illness. Through our law firm, her family (including two children) is now pursuing substantial death monetary benefits from the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund. The stories of this woman’s family, as well as those of many others, inspire us to continue advocating for all individuals and families who are fighting the same battles.
