The team of Troy G. Rosasco, Daniel J. Hansen and Chet Lukaszewski offer a combination of legal talent that is rare, if not unseen, for attorneys working on Zadroga 9/11 Compensation Act claims. Rosasco and Lukaszewski bring a wealth of experience in administrative law, which is how Victim Compensation Fund will operate.  Hansen is one of Manhattan's finest trial lawyers, with 20 years of experience proving the economic damages and "pain and suffering" of his clients.  Just last year, a federal jury awarded Mr. Hansen's construction worker client $19.6 million dollars in damages for his injuries.

First, our team will get to know you, the person, and your 9/11 experiences. Second, we will investigate and uncover all your potential 9/11 related economic losses, including loss of earnings, lost pension benefits, lost health insurance, out-of pocket medical expenses, among others. Third, with your help, we will determine your 'pain & suffering"as a result of your injuries and illnesses related to 9/11.  Fourth, we will obtain all your medical and financial records, submit your claim and attend an administrative hearing to prove these losses before the re-opened Zadroga 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund.  Finally, our team of attorneys will always be here to answer all your questions and concerns.

Troy Rosasco  has personally represented claimants at over 2000 Social Security Disability hearings before Administrative Law Judges in his 20 year career. Every claimant under the Zadroga Act will be entitled to an administrative hearing before a Hearing Officer to determine the amount of his/her monetary award under the Victims Compensation Fund.  Many of the hearings conducted for the original Victim Compensation Fund were conducted by federal Administrative Law Judges in a  "non-adversarial"  manner. Rosasco's experience in administrative hearings will give his client's a distinct advantage in proving their claims.

Chet Lukaszewski is widely regarded as one of the most skilled and knowledgeable Disability Pension lawyers in New York.  Mr. Lukaszewski has represented countless First Responders and other uniformed and non uniformed civil servants, within the pension systems and the courts. He understands their culture and career paths, which is an important element in working effectivley with your lawyer.  Chet has an intimate knowledge of the illnesses, whether respiratory, gastrointestinal or cancer, suffered by the heroes of 9/11.  His writings on the legal perils of sick responders have gained legal publication. Mr. Lukaszewski has been consulted by both Federal and State government officials, as well as numerous media outlets, as a disability pension expert.

Daniel J. Hansen, Esq. is one of Manhattan’s top personal injury trial lawyers, whose recent verdicts and settlements include:  a record 19.6 million dollars for a construction worker with an amputated leg above the knee; 3.2 million for a construction worker with one back surgery; and 1.5 million for a construction worker with two arthroscopic shoulder surgeries. He also has extensive experience litigating toxic tort cases, including asbestos and lead poisoning cases.

In working with the trio of attorneys, clients will do just that: not speaking with a low-level attorney or paralegal, instead partnering with firm principals who care about their clients’ well-being and are focused on providing them with as much information and the best legal representation possible. 

Well-aware of how these cases are being handled by other attorneys, Rosasco, Hansen and Lukaszewski aim to act with integrity in working with 9/11 victims and their loved ones. The experience, dedication, and commitment of the lawyers on the team—who have been representing 9/11 victims since shortly after the attacks—will provide their clients with the most competent, ethical, and compassionate representation possible, all the while making sure victims receive all the compensation they deserve.
