Our experienced legal team has over 35 years of experience helping individuals who have been harmed by toxic exposure.

Once we verify your eligibility, we’ll work diligently to secure the maximum compensation.
9/11 responders and survivors are at risk of chronic rhinosinusitis
Chronic rhinosinusitis is a condition that causes inflammation and swelling in the sinuses, the air-filled spaces behind your cheekbones, forehead, and eyes. The inflammation can block the sinuses, preventing mucus from draining properly. A study has shown that 9/11 responders who have developed the WTC cough syndrome also developed respiratory issues like chronic rhinosinusitis.
9/11 VCF payouts for chronic rhinosinusitis
If you were a first responder at the World Trade Center or were present at the 9/11 attack sites and have subsequently developed chronic rhinosinusitis due to exposure to toxins, you may be eligible for compensation. The VCF determines compensation based on both economic and non-economic losses, minus any compensation received for your injury.
While the maximum compensation for 9/11-related respiratory conditions, including chronic rhinosinusitis, can reach up to $90,000, the actual amount you receive will depend on the severity of your condition.
