Former EMS Worker Present on 9/11 Receives Compensation from the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund
It’s been 23 years since the heinous attacks that occurred on 9/11. Many of those present on that day were brave emergency medical service workers who, in a time of crisis, rushed into action to save those most in need. One of those workers was Chris Murphy who helped pedestrians flee from the wreckage and lead them to safety. Many of those who were present or in the vicinity of the 9/11 wreckage were exposed to toxins that ended up in later years causing medical ailments including numerous cancers, chronic cough syndrome and respiratory disorder, sleep apnea, and other illnesses that effect the lungs.
At Hill & Moin, LLP we honor those who were present on 9/11 and we work hard to ensure that those courageous New Yorkers who jumped into action receive compensation for their bravery and the medical costs that arose as a result of that tragic day.
Our team was able to help Mr. Murphy file a claim through the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund, navigate the process of filing with the VCF, and receive a $51,591.76 award that will help him with his medical treatments going forward. 9/11 is a day that Americans will never forget and Hill & Moin, LLP will do all we can to ensure that those suffering from illnesses related to the attacks are able to be adequately compensated.
