New York 10007
More than a decade after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 shocked the world, many rescue and recovery personnel and Lower Manhattan workers and residents who were exposed to toxins from the World Trade Center site are still living a nightmare. Every day, Barasch McGarry Salzman & Penson, P.C. observes how cancer, respiratory disorders and other disabling and deadly diseases linked to the exposure continue to devastate families.
With our downtown office located near City Hall, just a few short blocks from the site, our lawyers and staff acutely felt the impact of the tragedy. We continue to do so with every post-9/11 victim we help.
Michael Barasch worked tirelessly with lawmakers, 9/11 advocates and union leaders for the passage of the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund (known as the Zadroga Act, in honor of our client, NYPD Detective James Zadroga). Congress provided $2.4 billion for health care and $2.77 billion for compensation for first responders and WTC residents who have been stricken with 9/11-related illnesses. Since its passage in January, 2011, NIOSH has recognized a link between the WTC toxic dust and 67 cancers. Our law firm represents nearly 10,000 claimants who are receiving life-saving medical treatment and who are entitled to compensation for their illnesses and lost income. When the Act was passed, Congress stipulated that the health care and compensation would stop in October, 2016. We are fighting to keep the program open, so that people who desperately need assistance are not left to shoulder their burdens alone.
Trust us to help. You have nothing to risk and so much to gain. We offer free initial consultations and do not charge you anything until you receive a settlement from the Victim Compensation Fund. Our fees never exceed 10 percent of your settlement.
We assist injured clients from all over the country, including retired FDNY members and NYPD officers who have since moved away from New York. If you do not live near New York City or are unable to travel, we arrange your first, free consultation by telephone.
