An alarming number of Ground Zero workers have
been diagnosed with various types of cancer. In most cases, the cancer is
believed to be directly related to the time spent working at the site.
This problem is not new. In fact, last year,
over 1000 workers reported suffering from cancer, with many seeking
compensation. Unfortunately, however, the number of cancer reports has risen
significantly since then. Now, an estimated 2,500 workers have reported cancer.
Many of these workers are seeking compensation
so that they can receive treatment or, in more serious case, to provide for
their families after they are gone. Many sufferers have chosen to work with a professional
insurance adjuster while others have reached out to programs designed to
assist those who volunteered their time and assistance during the horrific
attacks.
These sad reports prove that the effects of
9/11 are even more long-lasting than realized and affect not just the nation as
a whole but individuals and their families as well.
