For over three decades, our legal team has been dedicated to helping individuals who have suffered from the devastating effects of toxic exposure. To begin, please share with us any documentation you have that confirms your presence within the Exposure Zone plus your medical records confirming your RADS diagnosis. Our team will carefully review your case, check if you meet the eligibility criteria, and guide you through every step of the claims process.
RADS is a condition similar to asthma that can develop after exposure to irritants, like the harmful chemicals and fumes present in the 9/11 dust cloud. Unlike asthma, RADS isn't triggered by allergies.
9/11 VCF payout for reactive airway dysfunction syndrome
If you were exposed to the toxic dust from the 9/11 attacks and have since developed RADS, you might be eligible to receive compensation from the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund. The amount you get is calculated based on a formula that considers your pain and suffering, medical expenses, and lost income, minus any other money you've received for your injuries.
For respiratory illnesses, the maximum payout is $90,000, but the actual amount depends on how severe your condition is. In 2021, the VCF gave nearly $1.5 billion to almost 10,000 people who qualified. In rare cases with multiple or serious illnesses, compensation could go up to $325,000.
