9/11 first responders & clean-up workers at heightened risk for developing mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is a rare but aggressive form of cancer associated with significant inhalation of asbestos fibers and accounts for approximately 2,500 deaths annually in the U.S., with symptoms often taking 20 years or more to manifest. In the vicinity of the World Trade Center, it is estimated that approximately 410,000 individuals have faced exposure to asbestos.

If you were in the 9/11 exposure zone during or after the attacks and you developed mesothelioma, you may receive compensation from the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund, which typically pays out up to $250,000. Other sources of compensation for your injuries are included in collateral offsets.
