September 11, 2001 permanently altered our country and the lives of countless victims and their families. Long after the rubble was moved and the new One World Center went up, individuals are still facing horrendous diagnoses of life-altering, and often fatal, diseases and health conditions. We now know that past exposure to the toxic dust from the collapse of the Twin Towers causes cancer, lung diseases, respiratory illnesses, and more.
Any new cancer diagnosis or similarly life-altering health condition is scary for the patient and their loved ones. A diagnosis that can be tied back to some of our worst memories of September 11, 2001 is even more tragic, especially considering people were told by the government it was safe for them to breathe the air despite seeing toxic dust coating Lower Manhattan and filling the sky. That is why Pitta & Baione LLP fights so hard to ensure 9/11 victims at least have the compensation they need for their health expenses and to live the rest of their lives in comfort.
Pitta & Baione LLP is proud to announce that since the firm’s inception in 2016, the total amount of money secured on behalf of our clients has now topped $400 million. This milestone is more than just a number; it represents the degree to which our attorneys have been able to help thousands of individuals and their families find financial relief in the midst of tragedy.
