Nearly 3,000 people died in the terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001.

This post will discuss compensation for families of deceased Ãâ·Ñ³Ô¹Ï.

Downtown workers are, by far, the largest group of people sickened by the toxic 9/11 fallout. It is estimated that at least 300,000 downtown workers were exposed to the same toxic dust and fumes as the first responders. Since 911, at least 15 employees/vendors at Century 21 have been certified with 9/11-related medical conditions, and at least two have died. Twenty-one shoppers at the department store on 9/11 also received diagnoses for 9/11-related illnesses, as have 19 first responders who conducted recovery operations in the building. Did you know that the effects of 9/11 also impact retail workers?

and members of the American Association for Justice (AAJ) formed the Trial Lawyers Care (TLC) program. It assembled a massive volunteer effort to support the survivors and family members of victims of the attack and protect the civil court system from becoming another casualty of the attack.

The World Trade Center Health Program-also known as WTC Health Program or – also created several Clinical Centers of Excellence to serve responders and survivors of the 9/11 terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center who live in New York City. However, the 9/11 Ground Zero responders and survivors enrolled in the program live in every state in the nation. Many survivors and responders also live abroad. Does this mean all of those individuals must travel to New York City to obtain medical care and monitoring? This post answers the question What Is the Nationwide Health Program Network?

You may already know that the WTC Health Program provides cost-free medical care and monitoring services to eligible members of the . You probably also already know that you can receive compensation for the expenses and impacts of your illness, such as lost earnings. However, what you might not know is that you can even pursue compensation for the past expenses that you incurred as a result of your 9/11-related medical condition before you obtained certification of that condition.
