NEW YORK Employer Pays World Trade Center Workers Comp Claim

A New York employer of a construction worker (Mr. AB) who worked as a flagman at 140 West Street for some four months following the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center (WTC) has been ordered to pay $20,000 in back payments and $400 a week and to provide health coverage by the New York state's Workers' Compensation Board, following a year-long compensation investigation. The worker  was diagnosed as having severe lung disease, something experts claim comes from the toxic dust and vapors Mr. AB and countless other individuals inhaled at Ground Zero. Doctors at Mount Sinai Medical Center's WTC Medical Monitoring clinic also found Mr. AB was suffering from bronchitis and gastric reflux. Author:  Robert Elliott, J.D.
