New York Personal Injury Attorneys at Barasch McGarry Salzman & Penson PC Urge Claimants with World Trade Center-Related Illnesses to Register for Benefits by October 3rd
New York, NY (PRWEB) September 24, 2013 -- The New York personal injury attorneys at Barasch McGarry Salzman & Penson urge claimants with World Trade Center-related illnesses to register with the September 11th Victims Compensation Fund (VCF) before the October 3, 2013 deadline or lose their rights to benefits.
The deadline applies to responders and their families who are planning to file a VCF claim and have known (or reasonably should have known) since October 3, 2011 of physical harm resulting from the September 11th attacks. Those injured before May 30, 2002 who did not qualify or apply for compensation from the first Victims Compensation Fund must also meet this deadline.
“Barasch McGarry Salzman & Penson has fought for those injured in the 9/11 World Trade Center attack and the ensuing clean-up right from the beginning. We are proud that the Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, which opened the second victims’ fund, is named for our client, James Zadroga. Now we want to make sure that everyone gets the benefits that they deserve. They must register by October 3rd to protect their rights to compensation, now and in the future. This is critical because some of the illnesses affecting the brave responders and cleanup workers do not manifest until years later,” said Michael Barasch , Member at Barasch McGarry Salzman & Penson PC.
To meet the deadline to become a claimant, you must complete and file a VCF registration form either online or by mail. If you have legal representation, confirm that a registration form has been filed on your behalf. Barasch McGarry Salzman & Penson helps ensure that all their clients’ VCF documents are filed correctly and deadlines met.
