Troy Rosasco is known as one of the top "go to" 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund attorneys in New York. When other attorneys have questions on the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund, they call Troy. He teaches at St. John's University School of Law School where he is an Adjunct Professor of Law.
Troy takes on some of the toughest 9/11 cancer cases and obtains million dollar results on a regular basis. To date, Troy and his law firm have recovered over $100 million for 9/11 victims.
Troy is a Fellow in the national College of Workers' Compensation Lawyers and currently represents over 2000 9/11 victims, survivors, downtown Manhattan residents, downtown workers and first responders in cancer and/or respiratory claims related to Ground Zero toxic exposure before the federal 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund.
Troy brings the same skillful hands to workers with lesser injuries and fights to maximize the recovery in their claims just as much as he does in catostrafic injury claims. Sadly, he has recently won cases for a quadraplegic worker and a worker with cancer due to radiation exposure on the job. He has won numerous death claims and is currently working on three different claims involving permanent brain damage.
Despite his reputation, Troy still answers his own phone for new cases well into the night with his down to earth style. He is well known for representing workers with combined different claims needing coordination, such as 9/11 claims, personal injury, Social Security and/or workers comp.

Admitted to practice law in New York and New Jersey, Troy is also admitted to practice before the U.S. District Court for the Eastern and Southern Districts of New York and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit.
