JAMES ZADROGA 9/11 ACT COVERAGE

While 9/11 was traumatic for all Americans, it continues to cause physical health problems for some individuals who were near ground zero during and after the event. Airborne particles near ground zero have been shown to cause health problems for those who were in Lower Manhattan during and after 9/11. These airborne particles may cause a variety of health complications for individuals.

THE JAMES ZADROGA 9/11 HEALTH AND COMPENSATION ACT
In recent years, studies have shown that exposure to airborne chemicals due to the World Trade Center attacks can have potentially fatal outcomes.

James Zadroga, for whom The Zadroga Act was named for, was a New York City Police officer who lost his life as a result of airborne particle exposure in the wake of 9/11. After dedicating over 450 hours of service at ground zero, Zadroga fell ill and eventually succumbed to a serious respiratory illness caused by the dust, fumes and debris in the air after the 9/11 attacks.

 He made the ultimate sacrifice aiding in the rescue and recovery efforts after the World Trade Center attacks, and his legacy continues through the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act (or the World Trade Center Health Program). This compensation fund allocates aid to people who may be impacted by physical illnesses in the wake of 9/11.

 If you are suffering from an illness, or if a loved one has passed away from an airborne-related illness that may be connected to debris near ground zero, you may be eligible to a claim through the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act. Please call us today to schedule your free consultation.
