Economic loss-Annual Income
A quick comment re: Economic Loss estimates.
A 3 year period covering 1998-2000 is one of the gauges proposed to arrive at
annual "current" income-What about 2001? Many individuals joined Cantor
Fitzgerald, eSpeed, or TradeSpark after January 1, 2001 at a much higher
salary base than their 1999 salary (and typically for these individuals 1999
was higher than 1998 and so on).
These individuals unfortunately and ironically lost their lives directly as a
result of this physical relocation, promotion, and upward career move to the
upper floors of One World Trade Center.
Will their 2001 Income not be factored in to arrive at "Economic Loss" or am
I reading the proposed rules incorrectly?
