Wed 01/16/2002 10:09 AM Dear Mr. Feinberg, I lost my husband in the 9-11 attack. It is very kind of the government to come up with the regulations to compensate the victims' family as a result of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack. The regulations allow non-economic damages that are approximately one-tenth the level normally paid in other plane crash and terrorism cases. The non-economical award of $250,000 is an insult when one considers the economic support given to the airlines industry. The law also requires deduction of "collateral sources" including life insurance and pension plans. The awards allowed after these deductions will be unreasonable. We have already lost our loved ones and now we are only compensated with such limited funds from the federal specially after the life insurance offset. People thought the federal government is compensating so much money however the truth is, after taken away the life insurance which we paid the premium so to prepare for the unexpected incidence, not too much will be left for the victims' family. This is like to punish those who care about their family members and prepare for the unexpected incidence. The magnitude of the 9-11 terrorist attack was way beyond everybodys preparation. Please reconsider the rules about the collateral sources by excluding the life insurance and pension as well as the non-economic awards. Sincerely, Individual Comment Livingston, NJ September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2002-01-16 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
