For those suffering from a cancer related to their work at the WTC disaster site, the deadline to register with the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund (re-opened under the Zadroga Act) may be as early as October 12, 2014.

 

The deadline to register with the Victim Compensation Fund depends on the type of cancer being claimed and the date of diagnosis. Calculating the deadline can be complicated and depends on an individual claimant's facts. Thus, it is strongly recommended that anyone who is thinking of filing a claim consult with a lawyer as soon as possible.

Since the inception of the Victim Compensation Fund in 2002, Sullivan Papain Block McGrath & Cannavo P.C. has been at the forefront of filing claims on behalf of first responders. 

 

Sullivan Papain recovered more than $265 million on behalf of first responders in the original Fund (2002-2003). 

 

In 2010, Sullivan Papain helped secure a $700 million settlement as co-liaison counsel for injured WTC rescue and recovery workers, who had brought claims against the City of New York and its contractors for failing to provide proper respiratory equipment.

Now, with the reopening of the Fund, Sullivan Papain has successfully obtained over $193 million in awards for its clients to date.*
