Non-economic Compensation: PARENTS' PAIN & SUFFERING
Our son worked for on the Floor on September 11, 2001. We as his parents will live with this terrible nightmare the rest of our lives. The pain & suffering that we feel will live with us forever - he can never be replaced. A Parents' Pain & Suffering should be part of the
non-economic fund's regulation. Our Pain & Suffering should be completely
separate and apart from the compensation that his spouse and children are
going to receive. It should not be included as one package in the award to
the wife & children, even if it is written clearly as such. This will cause
MUCH FRICTION in surviving families - DO NOT DO THIS!!! A way should be
found to include parents as "beneficiaries" under the Fund without at the
same time reducing the amounts otherwise payable to the surviving spouse and
children.
