Victim Compensation Fund-Zadroga Act

Tragically, the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund will be cutting remaining payouts by as much as 70 percent for some claimants. The Fund has already granted tens of thousands of awards, and still has tens of thousands more pending.

The Victim Compensation Fund, established under the James Zadroga Act, reviews claims from people who were sickened by the attacks. Cancer, respiratory illness and other health conditions may qualify. The attorneys at Eisbrouch Marsh can determine if you are eligible and help you with all aspects of completing and submitting your claim.

Hiring a lawyer is exceedingly advantageous, although not required by the government in order to file a Victim Compensation Fund claim.

The World Trade Center terrorist attacks had lasting effects on first responders' health, including weekly new diagnoses of cancer and other illnesses caused by the toxic dust, fumes and particles released by the attacks not only at the WTC, but also at the Pentagon and Shanksville, PA.

In the aftermath of the September 11 attacks that shocked our city to the core and forever changed the history of our country, the unimaginable was met with the kind of grit and generosity of spirit that runs deep in New Yorkers.

An appalling scam is directed at victims of the September 11th World Trade Center attacks, specifically those victims who are receiving, applying for, or potentially eligible for compensation from the Victim Compensation Fund (VCF).

To this day, people continue to discover they have developed severe illnesses because of the attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. This is not limited to first responders, but also the hundreds of thousands of Lower Manhattan residents, workers and students who were present in the area during and/or in the weeks and months following the attack.
