VCF FAQ

2.4 如果我现在没生病，还能注册吗？ （添加日期：2021年7月30日）

July 30, 2021

能。您可以随时在网上或拨打我们的求助热线1-855-885-1555向VCF注册。通过注册，您保留了在未来提出索赔的权利。虽然注册并不意味着您有义务在将来提出索赔，但您如果真的提出索赔，您必须已在适用的注册截止日期前就向VCF注册了，才有资格获得赔偿。出于这个原因，我们鼓励大家现在就注册，即使您现在没有生病。这样，若您将来生病了，您就不必担心注册的问题。

VCF FAQ

1.14 我认为产品制造商或医生促成、导致或加剧了我的与9/11有关的病情（或促成或导致已故受害者的死亡）。我可以起诉该制造商或医生并仍然能参与VCF吗？

July 30, 2021

不可以。针对产品制造商的产品责任的诉讼，或针对医生的医疗事故的诉讼，是基于这样的法律理论：即该产品或医生导致、促成或加剧了与 9/11 相关的病情。这些类型的诉讼属于法律规定的豁免所适用的诉讼条款范围，而VCF是根据该法规运作的。这意味着：为了有资格获得赔偿，当您提交您的 VCF 索赔时，必须放弃参与此类诉讼的权利，并且必须满足 VCF的《 政策与程序》第 1.3 节 规定的和解和撤诉截止日期。

请注意，因为VCF 是诉讼替代项目，所以特别不鼓励任何解决诉讼的行动。如果您在适用期限之后，在豁免权适用的诉讼案中达成和解，即使您在您提起或和解诉讼时没有被诊断出或证明患有涵盖的病情，您将没有资格获得 VCF 赔偿。虽然 VCF 可以在适当的情况下对未及时撤诉的案件进行例外处理。但根据其法律规定，它不能对未及时和解的案件进行例外处理。

July 30, 2021

No. Una demanda contra el producto manufacturado por responsabilidad del producto, o en contra del doctor por impericia médica, está basado en la teoría legal de que ese producto o ese doctor contribuyó, causó, o empeoró mi condición relacionada al 9/11.Este tipo de demandas cae bajo los términos del relevo de demandas del estatuto del cual el VCF opera.
