The World Trade Center catastrophe spread carcinogens and toxins throughout lower Manhattan resulting in  widespread cancer, significant enough for the government to institute the Victim Compensation Fund ( VCF ) in order to provide relief and medical help for those unfortunate enough to have been impacted by the tragedy. Fires burned for months in the aftermath, contaminating the atmosphere even more, and as people gravitated toward the site to help, or merely led an existence that placed them within the WTC contamination zone, their health was severely compromised without them realizing it. Certain cancers and respiratory ailments caused by asbestos and other toxins have an exceptionally long substantiation periods, and new cases continue to manifest to this day.

While the VCF is organized in a manner which makes it possible for eligible recipients to apply for and complete the process by themselves, in many cases retaining an attorney with vast experience in the process has resulted in larger rewards than they might have received going it alone. Finding a VCF Lawyer is akin to finding a doctor. If you need a knee replacement, you go to a doctor that does ten of them a week. For a specific task the best option is to retain someone who has successfully completed the process many, many times. Attorney William Dubanevich has been successfully handling VCF claims on behalf of WTC victims from the very beginning, helping literally thousands of people obtain compensation for their loss and suffering.

The rising costs of cancer care can be a ruinous force in families beset by this tragedy. If you or a member of your family has been stricken by this disease as a result of the specter of WTC toxins, you are fully within your rights as provided by the Zadroga act to receive medical help and financial compensation  from the Victim Compensation Fund.  Seek representation for your claim and protect yourself and your family.
