Families of 9/11 Victims

Protecting the Families of 9/11 Victims

If you lost a loved one to September 11th, 2001 – either in the attacks or to an illness caused by exposure to toxins at Ground Zero or in the surrounding “Exposure Zone” – your family may be entitled to significant Zadroga Act payouts through the WTC VCF. We have met all too many families who have lost mothers and fathers, husbands and wives. Almost 3,000 lives were lost on 9/11, and we expect the “second wave” of lives lost to 9/11-caused cancer or other illnesses to be even worse. 

We secured $1.3 million for a family of a deceased Tully Construction concrete worker who was at Ground Zero.

Supporting Families of 9/11 Victims

Families who have lost loved ones are often eligible for a number of Zadroga Act payouts, through the Victim Compensation Fund. These include both economic and non-economics losses, wrongful death payouts, in addition to benefits that cover funeral expenses and other costs. Our 9/11 lawyers at Hansen & Rosasco, LLP can help you get the maximum VCF payout that is the right and due to your family.

Our 9/11 Lawyers Will Help Your Family

Our 9/11 lawyers recently won $1.3 million in Zadroga Act payouts for the family of a deceased construction worker who became sick after having worked at Ground Zero. We also secured many other million-dollar awards for families who lost loved ones. These included, for example, a Downtown Manhattan insurance administrative worker who suffered and passed away from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD).

Losing a loved one on account of a 9/11 cancer or other illness is especially tragic. These were needless losses among selfless first responders, workers, residents, and others who returned to Lower Manhattan after the EPA Administrator promised that the air was safe. We are proud to represent the 9/11 community because we know each and every person’s family has the absolute right to compensation.
