9/11 Benefits Extended South of Houston Street

There is no shortage of advertisements and media educating New Yorkers about their potential eligibility for 9/11 benefits if they were South of Canal Street in Manhattan at the time of the attacks and have health conditions related to toxic dust exposure. At Pitta & Baione LLP, we want you to understand that the lines in the “exposure zone” can extend beyond Canal Street to Houston Street.

Compensation was made available to 9/11 victims after the Zadroga Act was passed. At least one program makes benefits available to people in a wider range of New York City, including those below Houston Street and in certain parts of Brooklyn, between September 11, 2001, and July 31, 2002.

Pitta & Baione is a 9/11 benefits law firm whose attorneys have helped countless survivors and first responders – as well as their families – get the full range of benefits available to them. We are lifelong New Yorkers who have dedicated our careers to assisting people who were on the frontlines during one of the darkest days in our country’s history.

If you believe you may be eligible for 9/11 benefits because you were south of Houston Street, or even in some parts of Brooklyn between September 11, 2001, and July 31, 2002, contact our 9/11 law firm today.
