The Hansen & Rosasco Difference - A Comparison to Other 9/11 Law Firms.

Why choose Hansen & Rosasco, LLP, as your 9/11 law firm? When it comes to filing a 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund (VCF) claim, your choice of legal representation can make a significant difference. Several law firms now handle 9/11 claims, but not all firms offer the same level of dedication, experience, and individual care and attention. Hansen & Rosasco stands out because our firm focuses exclusively on helping members of the 9/11 community, including filing VCF claims for compensation and getting lifetime health benefits from the World Trade Center Health Program (WTCHP).
Whether you’re a 9/11 first responder, a civilian who was present in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, or a family member of a deceased 9/11 victim, choosing a dedicated 9/11 legal team will ensure your journey is smooth, you experience compassionate service, and you receive the maximum compensation for your individual circumstances.
Key Differences Between Hansen & Rosasco and Other 9/11 Law Firms
There are several important differences between Hansen & Rosasco, LLP and other 9/11 law firms. We have been representing 9/11 clients since the beginning, but over two decades of experience isn’t the only thing that sets us apart. We take pride in the following differences between us and other law firms.
Dedicated Department for WTC Health Program Certifications
One of the most common and significant challenges for VCF claimants and individuals seeking health coverage through the WTC Health Program is getting their condition certified. Hansen & Rosasco, LLP has a full-time team dedicated solely to helping clients through the certification process with the WTCHP. This ensures faster approvals, less stress, and a more seamless path to certification and compensation.
Located in Lower Manhattan
Our office is located in Lower Manhattan, just steps from Ground Zero. If you’re still in the neighborhood, our physical closeness allows us to provide in-person support, attend local hearings, and maintain a close relationship with the agencies involved in the VCF process. We’re not a remote or national firm; you can meet your attorney face-to-face. We also have offices in Staten Island and Long Island.
Exclusively Work on 9/11 Claims
While many law firms handle 9/11 claims in addition to handling other types of legal cases, such as personal injury or medical malpractice, our attorneys at Hansen & Rosasco, LLP, only work on 9/11 VCF and WTCHP claims. This focus has made us leaders in our field, with deep knowledge of the institutions we must navigate and experience gained over two decades working on VCF claims.
Will Contact Witnesses on Your Behalf
Proving your presence in the 9/11 exposure zone is essential to receiving benefits and compensation, and often requires witness affidavits. While other firms may ask clients to track down their own witnesses, at Hansen & Rosasco, LLP, we handle this for you. Our law firm will locate, contact, and obtain the required affidavits, freeing you up to focus on your health and well being.
Take All Eligible Claims
Some firms choose to represent only high-value or easy-to-prove cases. The attorneys at Hansen & Rosasco, LLP take all eligible 9/11 VCF claims, including challenging cases involving less common health conditions or complicated exposure histories. We believe everyone deserves representation, regardless of how difficult your case may be.
No Wait Times and Avoidable Delays
At larger 9/11 law firms, clients may have to wait weeks or even months to hear back about their claim status. At Hansen & Rosasco, LLP, we take pride in delivering clear, prompt communication. Our team is focused on keeping your claim moving forward, minimizing delays, and avoiding unnecessary backlogs.
