| ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS Recently enacted New York State Worker's Compensation law provides a legal avenue of protection for New Jersey firefighters and related emergency services and Support Specialty Personnel (construction trades workers) who operated at NYC Ground Zero and or at Fresh Kills Landfill during the hours, days and weeks following 9/11. We urge anyone who operated to file for protections under this law in advance of injury or illness that may develop as a result of those occupational exposures to airborne or skin contact contaminants. In many cases it may be years before such injury might develop. Click below for the download that provides an explanation on how to file. Make sure you retain a copy of all related paperwork for your own file. Should you have any questions whatsoever, or require legal representation in this or any regard for occupationally related injury or illness, or even suspect such, the union recommends you contact our Preferred Provider for Worker's Compensation and product liability Stark & Stark's Arthur Kravitz at 609/896-9060, or Bob Capuano at 856/874-4443 immediately. BE sure you advise them of your PFANJ membership. Click here: http://www.wcb.state.ny.us/content/main/forms/WTC-12.pdf |
