September 11 Victims Compensation Fund
To Whom It May Concern:
My husband was an employee of who died in the World Trade
Center attack. I would like to object to the proposed compensation formula
presented by Special Master Feinberg. In order for the compensation fund to
work, it needs to provide compensation in line with comparable wrongful
death actions. By requiring offsets for collateral funds, this fund is
unable to come even close. Under the provisions, my family would stand to
receive $0, even though Mr. Feinberg would have the public believe that most
families would receive substantial compensation. Why should the insurance
companies and pension funds bear the responsibility for the failure of so
many parties to protect the tenants in the World Trade Center? I would like
to propose that all offsets be cancelled and the non-economic portion of the
compensation be amended to reflect the amounts awarded in similar wrongful
death actions.
