New York Disability and Compensation Lawyers Launch New Informational Video Channel

Posted on February 27, 2011 by Troy Rosasco

The New York Disability Law Blog has been posting helpful information for claimants with work or non-work related disabilities for over five years now. Over the last year, many of our readers  began to ask when we planned to supplement our blog information with informational videos, such as those found on You Tube.

Well, the time is now. The Law Firm of Turley, Redmond, Rosasco & Rosasco, LLP  is proud to announce the launch of their own Internet Informational Disability and Compensation Claim Video Channel, in addition to their new You Tube Disability Law Channel.  Our lawyers have produced 50 helpful videos covering topics such as  Zadroga 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund Claims,  New York Workers' Compensation Fund Claims,  Construction Site Accidents,  Social Security Disability Claims, Long Term Disability Claims and  New York Civil Service Disability Pensions.

The first 10 videos (six on Zadroga Act  9/11 Claims by partner Troy Rosasco  and 4 on New York Workers' Compensation Claims by partners William Turley and Craig Rosasco) are part of the initial launch, while the remaining 40 videos will be launched in stages over the next few months.

We understand that many of our readers and clients like to digest information over the Internet in video rather than written form, and this Disability Claim Video Series  launch is intended to further our goal of providing helpful information, insight and commentary on disability claims to the general public in different formats. We hope you enjoy our new Disability Claim Video Channels and suscribe by email to watch as we add new helpful content  on a regular basis. 

Tell us the disability claim subjects you would like to see covered in future videos and we will try to cover them as soon as possible.  Until then, enjoy!

New York Post Reports on "Incredible Blunder" by Zadroga 9/11 Lawyers

Posted on December 29, 2010 by Troy Rosasco

On the heels of a unflattering article two days ago in the NY Daily News about the 9/11 lawyers at Worby, Groner & Edelman and Napoli, Bern,  Susan Edelman of the New York Post is reporting today on a potential mistake these lawyers may have made that could exclude them from filing Zadroga Act Compensation claims. 

Let's hope it is not true and that these heroes don't see their well deserved compensation go down the drain on a legal technicality.  I suspect federal district court Judge Alvin Hellerstein may have to come to the lawyers rescue on this issue - just to protect the innocent 9/11 heroes.

According to the article, the law firms of Worby, Groner & Edelman and Napoli, Bern have not yet gotten the needed signed "releases" accepting the settlement  from their clients, much less delivered them to the Port Authority.  If these releases are not received by the Port Authority by the time President Obama signs the new Zadroga 9/11 bill next week, any victim who subsequently signs such a release could be excluded from eligibility under the new Zadroga 9/11 Act. 

If this happens, such victims may then have no choice but to forgo the Port Authority settlement in order to now travel the long road to Zadroga 9/11 Act compensation.

This is not the way it was supposed to work.  The deal that was sold to these clients was that they should take the 9/11 litigation settlement now, use it to pay current medical bills, and then they would also be able to apply for Zadroga 9/11 compensation also.  What a mess...!  Stay tuned and pray for the best...
