We Help the Heroes Who Helped Us
After the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, first responders, firefighters, policemen, and volunteers rushed to the World Trade Center (WTC) site to help with rescue and recovery efforts, risking their lives to save others. In the months following, many more rescue and recovery workers helped to clean up the destruction left in the wake of the collapse of the Twin Towers. Those who were present in the exposure zone in the aftermath of the attacks were exposed to toxic dust and debris. Many of these heroes later developed 9/11-related illnesses, including respiratory diseases like asthma and various cancers linked to the toxic environment. The permanent authorization of the 9/11 VCF ensures that these individuals and their families can receive the financial compensation they deserve. At Hansen & Rosasco, LLP, our experienced 9/11 lawyers are passionate about helping these heroes navigate the complex claims process, ensuring they receive the benefits to which they are entitled.
