Volunteers who worked at Ground Zero in the days, weeks, and months following the 9/11 attacks were exposed to hazardous materials, putting them at risk for serious health problems. These unsung heroes may be eligible for compensation through federal programs.

Health Risks Faced by Ground Zero Volunteers

Volunteers who assisted in recovery efforts at Ground Zero were exposed to toxic dust, debris, and hazardous chemicals without proper protection. As a result, many have developed respiratory diseases, cancers, and other serious health conditions linked to their exposure.

Eligibility for Compensation as a Volunteer

Volunteers who were present at or near Ground Zero during the recovery efforts are eligible for compensation through programs like the World Trade Center Health Program (WTCHP) and the Victim Compensation Fund (VCF). However, proving their presence at the site and documenting their health conditions can be challenging without proper legal assistance.

Filing a Claim as a Volunteer

Filing a compensation claim as a Ground Zero volunteer requires victims to provide proof of their participation in recovery efforts and medical records documenting their health conditions. Volunteers may not have formal employment records, which can complicate the process of proving their exposure. Witness statements, photos, or other forms of evidence may be needed to support their claims.
