Lawyers for the 9/11 Community
We felt the impact on 9/11 and we continue to feel it today through our work with 20,000+ members of the 9/11 community. Whether it’s through lobbying Congress, filing claims with the Victim Compensation Fund, or appealing awards to get our clients the maximum amount for their pain and suffering, we won’t rest until we help every 9/11 survivor.
First responders and individuals living, working, volunteering, and going to school near the WTC exposure zone breathed toxic air containing a host of known carcinogens. If you were there on 9/11 or in the months that followed, you may qualify for compensation.
We worked, lived, and went to school in the exposure zone on or after 9/11. We all qualify.
I thought the Victim Compensation Fund and the health program were geared for firefighters and police officers, but I’m one of the victims, too. I’m happy I chose Barasch & McGarry to help me get a fair award for my illness and lost income.

With our office just steps from Ground Zero, we witnessed the pain of the 9/11 attacks first-hand. Many in our office have since developed 9/11-related illnesses and some have passed away. We felt the impact that day and continue to feel it today. We will never stop fighting for victims and families in the 9/11 community.
No one has filed more claims with the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund or helped more people enroll in the free World Trade Center Health Care program. You can count on a reliable case assessment and a smooth filing process.
We are the sole law firm that has advocated for the rights of the 9/11 community from the very start making numerous trips to Washington to successfully lobby Congress for all those exposed to the toxic dust from the September 11th attacks.
Hi, we are here to help if you have questions.
