WON VCF AWARD FOR A VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER
Our WTC lawyers won a $1.15 million VCF award for a volunteer firefighter and truck driver who was disabled by thyroid cancer, prostate cancer, urinary incontinence, impotence, extrinsic asthma, and secondary diabetes.
Thyroid Cancer Conditions
Thyroid cancer starts in the thyroid gland, which is near the “Adam’s apple” in the neck. The thyroid gland makes thyroid hormones that travel through the blood to all parts of the body. Thyroid hormones affect the metabolism rate, which determines how fast or slow the brain, heart, muscles, liver, and other parts of the body work.
The main types of thyroid cancer are:
- Differentiated (the most common, and includes papillary, follicular, and Hṻrthle cell)
- Medullary
- Anaplastic (an aggressive undifferentiated tumor)
Getting 9/11 Victims the Compensation They Deserve
The VCF was established to help victims suffering from the toxic fallout from the September 11th attacks. VCF awards can and have changed many 9/11 victims’ lives. Our WTC lawyers know just how important it is for each first responder or survivor (Downtown Manhattan residents, workers, or students) to get support every step of the way – from filing a claim to receiving a VCF payment.
