Hansen & Rosasco - 9/11 Victim Lawyers

10/21/2026

25 years later, the 9/11 community now lives across the country and around the world. But where you live today does NOT determine your eligibility for the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund (VCF).

At Hansen & Rosasco, we've made it possible to handle your entire claim remotely, from your initial consultation to gathering documentation, filing your claim, and receiving compensation. You'll have a dedicated case manager guiding you every step of the way, without ever needing to visit our office.

No need to be in New York to file a 9/11 VCF claim. Learn how to file from anywhere, what proof you need, and how a 9/11 attorney handles it all remotely.

The Hansen & Rosasco team is proudly wearing pink this October in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Supporting cancer research is deeply personal to us. Many of our 9/11 clients face cancer diagnoses linked to their exposure to toxins at Ground Zero, and we’re committed to helping fund vital research that leads to better treatments and hope for the future.

We often hear clients say, "The company I worked for on 9/11 doesn’t even exist anymore. How am I supposed to prove I was there?’”

You’re not alone — and a closed employer does not automatically mean you can’t prove your 9/11 presence.
Old records, third-party verification, former coworkers or supervisors, and other supporting evidence may all play a role. The key is knowing what the VCF will accept and how to properly document it.

Our latest blog explains what options may be available when your former employer — and your employment records — are long gone.

A closed employer doesn't end your 9/11 VCF claim. Other evidence can provide proof presence, and the team at Hansen & Rosasco helps gather it. Learn more.

How do I prove my cancer is connected to 9/11? What if I don’t have records showing I was there? Does having a covered condition mean I automatically qualify?

For illnesses recognized by the World Trade Center Health Program, the scientific connection has already been linked. But proving your individual exposure, documenting your presence, and getting your condition certified are still critical steps.

And more than 25 years later, finding old employment records, school records, or witnesses can be one of the hardest parts.

Our latest blog breaks down what you actually need to prove, why proof of presence matters, and how Hansen & Rosasco helps 9/11 victims navigate the process.

At Hansen & Rosasco, we have developed comprehensive strategies to help our clients navigate these challenges and get the needed medical care and compensation.

At a press conference, Northwell Health reported a 75% increase in 9/11-related cancers in the past 42 months. This growing cancer crisis, 25 years after 9/11,
is alarming and deeply concerning to the entire 9/11 community - the 90,000 responders and the hundreds of thousands of civilians - downtown residents, workers, students and others.

There are now more than 57,000 9/11 cancer victims enrolled in the World Trade Center Health Program. Unfortunately, 9/11 is still claiming victims.

If you or a loved one have questions about a potential (or current) 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund claim, call Hansen & Rosasco today at 212-697-3701. You have questions, we have answers.

25 years later, our promise remains the same: Never Forget.

Since 2001, Daniel Hansen and Troy Rosasco have been honored to stand with the 9/11 community and represent them with their VCF claims. As we remember those we lost and honor the responders, survivors, families, and all those impacted, we also recognize that there is still much work to be done.

We will continue fighting for the research, funding, care, and compensation this community deserves.

We will never forget. And we will never stop fighting for the 9/11 community.

We remember, today and every day. Supporting the victims of 9/11 for 25 years.

Finally, after 25 years, the records are public.

NYC has released more than 170,000 pages of previously undisclosed documents about the air quality and health risks following 9/11.

The newly released records confirm what the 9/11 community has known for decades: the health consequences of that toxic exposure did not end when the dust settled.

25 years later, people are still being diagnosed with 9/11-related cancers and illnesses. This is why continued research, funding and access to the World Trade Center Health Program and 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund remain so critical — and why we will never stop advocating for this community.

Newly released NYC records reveal what officials knew about dangerous air quality after 9/11 and the health risks facing responders and survivors.

Wishing our clients, community, and families a safe and restful Labor Day weekend. We’re grateful for the dedication and strength of the laborers in our community every day.
