Craignant que de tels litiges ne mettent effectivement en faillite les transporteurs commerciaux, les l\u00e9gislateurs ont cr\u00e9\u00e9 le <a href=\"\/fr\/domaines-de-pratique-2\/centre-du-commerce-mondial\/programme-sante-wtc\/\">Programme de sant\u00e9 du WTC<\/a> et le <strong>Fonds d&#039;indemnisation des victimes du 11 septembre<\/strong> alias WTC VCF. Fin 2016, ce fonds du World Trade Center avait vers\u00e9 plus de $2 milliards d&#039;indemnisations aux victimes du 11 septembre \u00e0 New York et ailleurs ; environ la moiti\u00e9 de cet argent est all\u00e9 aux premiers intervenants bless\u00e9s. Ces fonds devaient payer les d\u00e9penses de sant\u00e9 des victimes des cancers du 11 septembre et d&#039;autres blessures. Le Special Master en charge du fonds d&#039;indemnisation des victimes travaille sur un arri\u00e9r\u00e9 d&#039;affaires, c&#039;est donc le moment id\u00e9al pour d\u00e9poser une demande de dommages et int\u00e9r\u00eats.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/fr\/napoli-attorney\/paul-napoli\/\">Paul J. Napoli<\/a> et certains des autres membres de l&#039;\u00e9quipe juridique de Napoli Law \u00e9taient au rez-de-chauss\u00e9e du Fonds d&#039;indemnisation des victimes du World Trade Center (ou WTC VCF en abr\u00e9g\u00e9), travaillant sans rel\u00e2che \u00e0 la fois au palais de justice et \u00e0 la maison d&#039;\u00c9tat pour s&#039;assurer que les victimes bless\u00e9es avaient acc\u00e8s au ressources financi\u00e8res dont ils avaient besoin pour combattre leur cancer, leurs maladies et leurs blessures li\u00e9s au 11 septembre. Aujourd&#039;hui, nous repr\u00e9sentons avec t\u00e9nacit\u00e9 ces victimes devant le Ma\u00eetre Sp\u00e9cial, luttant pour l&#039;indemnisation et le respect qu&#039;elles m\u00e9ritent.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1403 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.napolilaw.lemonadestand.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/American-Flag.jpg\" alt=\"agitant le drapeau am\u00e9ricain en hommage \u00e0 nos disparus\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Combien d&#039;argent puis-je obtenir ?<\/h2>\n<p>Semblable \u00e0 la <a href=\"\/fr\/domaines-de-pratique-2\/lindemnisation-des-travailleurs\/\">l&#039;indemnisation des travailleurs<\/a> system, the 9\/11 victims\u2019 compensation fund was originally designed to be a reasonable alternative to the tort litigation against airliners outlined above. The theory was that 9\/11 victims, and their families, would choose the quick and easy path of the VCF fund as opposed to the relative risk of individual damage claims. But in many cases, the VCF system is neither fast nor fair, and the assistance of an experienced and aggressive 9\/11 lawyer is often the only way to level the playing field.<\/p>\n<p>Kenneth Feinberg, the first Special Master, prioritized emergency responder injury claims, and many of his successors have continued that approach. Most everyone else goes to the back of the line. This waiting is common for victims who do not have VCF lawyers, because the Special Master rather logically concludes that if they do not take their cases seriously, neither should the SM.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Feinberg also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2002\/12\/08\/magazine\/just-money.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">d\u00e9clar\u00e9 c\u00e9l\u00e8bre<\/a> que 15 % des victimes ne devraient pas recevoir 85 % de l&#039;argent, ce qui signifie que le SM sous-estime souvent les blessures des professionnels de la finance et d&#039;autres victimes hautement indemnis\u00e9es. UN <a href=\"\/fr\/domaines-de-pratique-2\/centre-du-commerce-mondial\/\"> Avocat WTC VCF<\/a> can convince the SM to award damages based on the facts of the case.<\/p>\n<p>These damages include compensation for both economic losses, such as medical bills and noneconomic losses, such as pain and suffering. A damage cap may apply to emotional distress and other noneconomic damages.<\/p>\n<h3>Qui est \u00e9ligible?<\/h3>\n<p>En 2011, le <a href=\"\/fr\/domaines-de-pratique-2\/centre-du-commerce-mondial\/james-zadroga-acte\/\">Loi Zadroga<\/a>, which Paul J. Napoli helped engineer, greatly expanded the World Trade Center Victims Compensation Fund\u2019s exposure zone. The northern boundary of the exposure zone moved to a line that follows Canal Street, East Broadway, and Clinton Street. As a result, 9\/11 injury victims in Chinatown and other neighborhoods closer to Midtown are eligible for compensation.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, claimants must have been present in the Exposure Zone on 9\/11 or in the year after the attack.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, the SM almost rubber-stamps cases involving emergency responders at Ground Zero, an approach that is noble but necessarily means that there is less money for other victims. Victims without WTC lawyers must answer tough questions from the SM, so the chances of obtaining fair compensation are greatly reduced.<\/p>\n<h3>Quelles sont les conditions \u00e9ligibles\u00a0?<\/h3>\n<p>De nombreuses victimes du 11 septembre \u00e0 New York ont subi une grande vari\u00e9t\u00e9 de blessures corporelles et spirituelles. Les deux types de blessures sont \u00e9ligibles aux prix WTC VCF. Certaines blessures courantes comprennent:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Blessures traumatiques<\/strong>\u00a0: En r\u00e8gle g\u00e9n\u00e9rale, seules les victimes \u00e0 ou pr\u00e8s de Ground Zero \u00e0 ou pr\u00e8s de 9h00 le 11 septembre sont \u00e9ligibles aux indemnit\u00e9s du Fonds d&#039;indemnisation des victimes pour les blessures \u00e0 la t\u00eate, les fractures, les d\u00e9c\u00e8s caus\u00e9s par la chute d&#039;objets et d&#039;autres blessures similaires.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sant\u00e9 musculo-squelettique<\/strong>: Seuls les intervenants d&#039;urgence du 11 septembre peuvent obtenir des r\u00e9compenses WTC VCF pour les douleurs lombaires, le syndrome du canal carpien et d&#039;autres conditions similaires.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Un cancer<\/strong>: There are over fifty types of cancer, commonly referred to as &#8220;9\/11 cancers&#8221;, on the approved conditions list, most notably including any \u201crare\u201d cancer that occurs in fewer than 15 individuals per 100,000 population.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Typiquement, un cancer ou une maladie du 11 septembre n&#039;est pas comme un <a href=\"\/fr\/domaines-de-pratique-2\/securite-sociale-handicap\/\">Invalidit\u00e9 de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 sociale<\/a> illness, because while an SSD claimant may have a condition that is \u201csubstantially similar\u201d to a listed condition, the VCF usually makes no such allowances.<\/p>\n<p>Many of these conditions, like cancer, are difficult to diagnose. Additionally, these conditions may not have an obvious link to 9\/11, especially if the victim was in the Exposure Zone for a few days in the months after the attack. Either scenario could mean a delay or a denial.<\/p>\n<h3>Un avocat VCF exp\u00e9riment\u00e9 peut vous aider<\/h3>\n<p>During your initial consultation, our attorneys know the right questions to ask concerning your whereabouts in the months after 9\/11. Then, our professional staff can refer you to a competent physician, in most cases. Typically, that doctor will diagnose your condition and outline a treatment plan without any cost to you. Since that doctor is armed with information about your possible 9\/11 injury, the diagnosis and treatment plan will probably be more accurate.<\/p>\n<p>As to the link between 9\/11 and cancer or illness, the Special Master rarely considers a mere presence in the Exposure Zone to be sufficient, so WTC VCF claimants without assertive advocates are at a definite disadvantage. An attorney can introduce additional evidence, and make cogent legal arguments, that make the link much more apparent.<\/p>\n<h3>Combien de temps dois-je d\u00e9poser une r\u00e9clamation WTC\u00a0?<\/h3>\n<p>Under the Never Forget the Heroes, James Zadroga, Ray Pfeifer, and Luis Alvarez Permanent Authorization of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund Act, (\u201cVCF Permanent Authorization Act\u201d), the filing deadline has been extended to October 1, 2090.<\/p>\n<p>If your claim was previously denied you can amend your claim with new information and resubmit your claim. It takes time to build a winning claim, and to establish a causal link between 9\/11 exposure and a disease diagnosis. Therefore, it is important to hire an experience WTC VCF Attorney right away. There are still cancers being diagnosed currently, that are found to be caused by a 9\/11 exposure from over twenty years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, if a loved one has passed away from a 9\/11 condition, we obtain restitution for the families of deceased 9\/11 victims. At Napoli Shkolnik, victim compensation is our number one priority, so we are already working behind the scenes to help ensure that WTC victims get the compensation they deserve, even if their 9\/11 cancer or illness does not become apparent for several more decades.<\/p>\n<h3>D\u00e9posez votre demande de fonds d&#039;indemnisation des victimes du WTC d\u00e8s aujourd&#039;hui<\/h3>\n<p>Certains des avocats les plus exp\u00e9riment\u00e9s en mati\u00e8re de blessures du 11 septembre \u00e0 New York sont ici m\u00eame \u00e0 Napoli Shkolnik PLLC.
