How A Skilled Attorney Can Help With Your VCF Claim
The laws governing the 9/11 benefit programs do not require victims of illnesses to hire a lawyer to submit claims for compensation through the Victim Compensation Fund or for medical care under the WTC Health Plan. But consulting an experienced 9/11 lawyer makes navigating the complicated process of pursuing these claims substantially easier in several ways.
I want to personally thank the firm for their hard work at both the forefront, and in the offices of the VCF in Washington. Without the firm’s non-stop commitment to the VCF, I wonder where many of us first responders would be today.

Establishing Your Eligibility and Estimating Compensation
At Barasch & McGarry, our lawyers will help you determine whether you are eligible prior to submitting your application. Our firm has submitted thousands of VCF claims and evaluated eligibility for well over 20,000 members of the 9/11 community. Our expertise in this area of the law means that we can both determine your eligibility and provide you with what to expect before you begin the process of filing a claim.
Filing Your VCF Claim
The Victim Compensation Fund does not grant claims without accompanying evidence. Claimants must provide documentary evidence of their presence at a 9/11 crash site during the specific periods of time established in the Zadroga Act. Our experienced lawyers understand what types of documentary evidence the VCF requires and can help you obtain and submit these documents to substantiate your claim.
The attorneys at Barasch & McGarry can evaluate your illness and help you obtain the needed medical records. In accordance with federal law, our fee is limited to 10 percent of your recovery.
