Pitta & Baione LLP has reached a significant milestone. Since our founding in 2016, we’ve secured over $450 million in compensation for 9/11 victims and their families. “The number is a reminder of how much pain and suffering the 9/11 dust continues to inflict on our families, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and the thousands more who decided to trust our firm with their claims,” says Pitta & Baione LLP partner Christopher Baione.
The tragedy of 9/11 wasn’t confined to a single day. For countless victims and their families, the fight continues. Exposure to the toxic dust unleashed a wave of life-altering illnesses – cancers, lung diseases, and respiratory problems – that continue to plague survivors even today.
Receiving a cancer diagnosis or dealing with a serious illness is extremely difficult. For many 9/11 survivors, it’s even more challenging because their illness brings back painful memories of that tragic day. Pitta & Baione LLP works tirelessly to help these victims get compensation, aiming to ease their financial burdens and help them on the road to recovery.
The Victim Compensation Fund, or VCF, aims to provide financial relief for eligible victims. The program offers compensation for economic losses, like past medical costs and lost income, as well as non-economic losses, such as pain and suffering. The VCF is fully funded and authorized to issue as many awards as needed until 2090.
Navigating the VCF claim process can be difficult. Approximately 90% of successful claims involve legal representation. An experienced 9/11 fund lawyer can help you understand your eligibility, gather the necessary documentation, and ensure your claim is filed accurately and efficiently. These steps can significantly increase your chances of a quick and successful outcome, allowing you to secure the maximum possible compensation.
