Fighting for Justice Since 2001
Experienced 9/11 Attorneys for Victim Compensation
In the aftermath of 9/11, our firm led the fight for first responders, filing lawsuits against the City of New York for failing to provide proper respiratory protection. As co-liaison counsel in the World Trade Center Disaster Site Litigation, we represented over 600 firefighters and helped secure a $700 million settlement in 2010.
Continuing Our Commitment Through the Victim Compensation Fund
Since the VCF reopened in 2011 under the James Zadroga Act, SPBMCC has recovered over $1 billion for clients, including the largest individual award of $4.133 million. The VCF provides financial relief for first responders, workers, and residents suffering from 9/11-related illnesses, such as respiratory disorders and cancer.
About the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund
Created by the federal government in 2002, the VCF supports those impacted by the attacks. Reauthorized in 2015 and made permanent in 2019, the fund continues to provide compensation and health benefits for victims and their families.
