Meet Troy Rosasco

Troy Rosasco, Founding Partner and 9/11 Attorney

Troy G. Rosasco is one of the leading 9/11 attorneys in the nation, handling September 11th Victim Compensation Fund (VCF) and wrongful death claims. He has been representing the 9/11 community from the beginning - soon after that tragic day. In October 2001, Troy was asked to represent the family of a victim who died when the buildings came down. He was able to obtain the family significant compensation and burial benefits. As he did with all his 9/11 cases at the time, he waived his legal fee. For more than two decades, he has represented 9/11 victims and their families and brings not only extensive legal knowledge, but also genuine compassion for every family he represents.

Born and raised in New York, Troy understands the values of hard work, community, and resilience. His background in Social Security Disability and New York State Workers’ Compensation law, New York State disability retirement pensions, and Public Safety Officers Benefits (PSOB) gives him extensive insight into how illness and loss can affect a family, financially and emotionally. This experience allows him to build the strongest possible cases while guiding clients through an often overwhelming process with empathy and respect.

Over the years, Troy has helped thousands of families rebuild their lives after devastating 9/11-related illnesses, including:

• $4.1 million for the family of a Deutche Bank employee who passed away due to 9/11-related brain cancer
  
  
• $3.4 million awarded to a downtown Manhattan professional permanently disabled by breast cancer
  
  
• $2.1 million for the family of a Financial District executive lost to colon cancer
  
  
• $1.9 million for the family of a Verizon technician who succumbed to WTC-related cancer
  
  
• $1.3 million for the estate of a Pentagon responder lost to sinonasal carcinoma
  
  
• $975,000 for a Chase Manhattan Bank officer left disabled by 9/11-related respiratory illness
  

Most recently, Troy and his team secured a $2.6 million award from the VCF for the family of a union worker who passed away from a 9/11-related illness; compensation that covered lost earnings, funeral expenses, and support for his wife and dependent son.

For Troy, these results are more than numbers. They represent real families, real stories, and real justice. Every client matters, and every victory brings a measure of peace to those who’ve already sacrificed so much.
