Why Barasch & McGarry
We felt the impact on 9/11 and we continue to feel it today through our work with 25,000+ 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.
Who’s Eligible for 9/11 Programs
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.

9/11 is Personal to Us
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.
