Temiendo que tales litigios pudieran llevar a la bancarrota a los transportistas comerciales, los legisladores crearon la <a href=\"\/practice-areas\/world-trade-center\/wtc-health-program\/\">Programa de Salud del WTC<\/a> y el <strong>Fondo de Compensaci\u00f3n para las V\u00edctimas del 11-S<\/strong> tambi\u00e9n conocido como WTC VCF. A fines de 2016, este fondo del World Trade Center hab\u00eda pagado m\u00e1s de $2 mil millones en compensaci\u00f3n a las v\u00edctimas del 11 de septiembre en Nueva York y otros lugares; aproximadamente la mitad de ese dinero se destin\u00f3 a los primeros respondedores heridos. Estos fondos fueron para pagar los gastos de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica para las v\u00edctimas de los c\u00e1nceres del 11 de septiembre y otras lesiones. El Magistrado Especial a cargo del fondo de compensaci\u00f3n de las v\u00edctimas est\u00e1 trabajando en una acumulaci\u00f3n de casos, por lo que ahora es un excelente momento para presentar una demanda por da\u00f1os y perjuicios.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/napoli-attorney\/paul-napoli\/\">Pablo J. N\u00e1poles<\/a> y algunos de los otros miembros del equipo legal de Napoli Law estaban en la planta baja del Fondo de Compensaci\u00f3n de V\u00edctimas del World Trade Center (o WTC VCF para abreviar), trabajando incansablemente tanto en el juzgado como en la c\u00e1mara estatal para garantizar que las v\u00edctimas lesionadas tuvieran acceso a la recursos financieros que necesitaban para combatir el c\u00e1ncer, las enfermedades y las lesiones relacionadas con el 11 de septiembre. Hoy, representamos tenazmente a estas v\u00edctimas ante el Magistrado Especial, luchando por la compensaci\u00f3n y el respeto que merecen.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1403 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.napolilaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/American-Flag.jpg\" alt=\"ondeando la bandera americana en homenaje a nuestros perdidos\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>\u00bfCu\u00e1nto dinero puedo obtener?<\/h2>\n<p>Similar a <a href=\"\/practice-areas\/workers-compensation\/\">compensaci\u00f3n de trabajadores<\/a> system, the 9\/11 victims\u2019 compensation fund was originally designed to be a reasonable alternative to the tort litigation against airliners outlined above. The theory was that 9\/11 victims, and their families, would choose the quick and easy path of the VCF fund as opposed to the relative risk of individual damage claims. But in many cases, the VCF system is neither fast nor fair, and the assistance of an experienced and aggressive 9\/11 lawyer is often the only way to level the playing field.<\/p>\n<p>Kenneth Feinberg, the first Special Master, prioritized emergency responder injury claims, and many of his successors have continued that approach. Most everyone else goes to the back of the line. This waiting is common for victims who do not have VCF lawyers, because the Special Master rather logically concludes that if they do not take their cases seriously, neither should the SM.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Feinberg also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2002\/12\/08\/magazine\/just-money.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">famoso declarado<\/a> que el 15 por ciento de las v\u00edctimas no deber\u00eda recibir el 85 por ciento del dinero, lo que significa que el SM a menudo subestima las lesiones de los profesionales financieros y otras v\u00edctimas altamente compensadas. A <a href=\"\/practice-areas\/world-trade-center\/\"> Abogado WTC VCF<\/a> can convince the SM to award damages based on the facts of the case.<\/p>\n<p>These damages include compensation for both economic losses, such as medical bills and noneconomic losses, such as pain and suffering. A damage cap may apply to emotional distress and other noneconomic damages.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00bfQuien es elegible?<\/h3>\n<p>En 2011, el <a href=\"\/practice-areas\/world-trade-center\/james-zadroga-act\/\">Ley Zadroga<\/a>, which Paul J. Napoli helped engineer, greatly expanded the World Trade Center Victims Compensation Fund\u2019s exposure zone. The northern boundary of the exposure zone moved to a line that follows Canal Street, East Broadway, and Clinton Street. As a result, 9\/11 injury victims in Chinatown and other neighborhoods closer to Midtown are eligible for compensation.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, claimants must have been present in the Exposure Zone on 9\/11 or in the year after the attack.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, the SM almost rubber-stamps cases involving emergency responders at Ground Zero, an approach that is noble but necessarily means that there is less money for other victims. Victims without WTC lawyers must answer tough questions from the SM, so the chances of obtaining fair compensation are greatly reduced.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00bfQu\u00e9 condiciones son elegibles?<\/h3>\n<p>Muchas v\u00edctimas del 11 de septiembre en Nueva York sufrieron una amplia variedad de lesiones en el cuerpo y el esp\u00edritu. Ambos tipos de lesiones son elegibles para premios WTC VCF. Algunas lesiones comunes incluyen:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Heridas Traum\u00e1ticas<\/strong>: Por lo general, solo las v\u00edctimas en o cerca de la Zona Cero a las 9:00 o cerca de las 9:00 el 11 de septiembre son elegibles para las adjudicaciones del Fondo de Compensaci\u00f3n de V\u00edctimas por lesiones en la cabeza, huesos rotos, muertes causadas por objetos que caen y otras lesiones similares.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salud musculoesquel\u00e9tica<\/strong>: Solo los socorristas del 11 de septiembre pueden obtener premios WTC VCF por dolor lumbar, s\u00edndrome del t\u00fanel carpiano y otras afecciones similares.<\/li>\n<li><strong>C\u00e1ncer<\/strong>: There are over fifty types of cancer, commonly referred to as &#8220;9\/11 cancers&#8221;, on the approved conditions list, most notably including any \u201crare\u201d cancer that occurs in fewer than 15 individuals per 100,000 population.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Por lo general, un c\u00e1ncer o una enfermedad del 11 de septiembre no es como un <a href=\"\/practice-areas\/social-security-disability\/\">Discapacidad del Seguro Social<\/a> illness, because while an SSD claimant may have a condition that is \u201csubstantially similar\u201d to a listed condition, the VCF usually makes no such allowances.<\/p>\n<p>Many of these conditions, like cancer, are difficult to diagnose. Additionally, these conditions may not have an obvious link to 9\/11, especially if the victim was in the Exposure Zone for a few days in the months after the attack. Either scenario could mean a delay or a denial.<\/p>\n<h3>Un abogado con experiencia en VCF puede ayudar<\/h3>\n<p>During your initial consultation, our attorneys know the right questions to ask concerning your whereabouts in the months after 9\/11. Then, our professional staff can refer you to a competent physician, in most cases. Typically, that doctor will diagnose your condition and outline a treatment plan without any cost to you. Since that doctor is armed with information about your possible 9\/11 injury, the diagnosis and treatment plan will probably be more accurate.<\/p>\n<p>As to the link between 9\/11 and cancer or illness, the Special Master rarely considers a mere presence in the Exposure Zone to be sufficient, so WTC VCF claimants without assertive advocates are at a definite disadvantage. An attorney can introduce additional evidence, and make cogent legal arguments, that make the link much more apparent.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00bfCu\u00e1nto tiempo tengo para presentar un reclamo WTC?<\/h3>\n<p>Under the Never Forget the Heroes, James Zadroga, Ray Pfeifer, and Luis Alvarez Permanent Authorization of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund Act, (\u201cVCF Permanent Authorization Act\u201d), the filing deadline has been extended to October 1, 2090.<\/p>\n<p>If your claim was previously denied you can amend your claim with new information and resubmit your claim. It takes time to build a winning claim, and to establish a causal link between 9\/11 exposure and a disease diagnosis. Therefore, it is important to hire an experience WTC VCF Attorney right away. There are still cancers being diagnosed currently, that are found to be caused by a 9\/11 exposure from over twenty years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, if a loved one has passed away from a 9\/11 condition, we obtain restitution for the families of deceased 9\/11 victims. At Napoli Shkolnik, victim compensation is our number one priority, so we are already working behind the scenes to help ensure that WTC victims get the compensation they deserve, even if their 9\/11 cancer or illness does not become apparent for several more decades.<\/p>\n<h3>Presente hoy su reclamo del Fondo de Compensaci\u00f3n para V\u00edctimas del WTC<\/h3>\n<p>Algunos de los abogados con m\u00e1s experiencia en lesiones por el 11 de septiembre en Nueva York est\u00e1n aqu\u00ed en Napoli Shkolnik PLLC.
