Monday, January 14, 2002 10:51 PM DEAR MR. FEINBERG, I AM WRITTING TO YOU WIN COMPLETE DISAGREEMENT OF YOUR CHARTS. MY DAUGHTER WORKED FOR FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. SHE STARTED IN JUNE OF 2000 RIGHT OUT OF COLLEGE. I DON'T FULLY UNDERSATAND WHAT HER ECONOMIC LOSS WOULD BE SINCE SHE DIDN'T WORK THERE FOR THREE YEARS. THE NON-ECONOMIC LOSS AT 250,000 IS RIDICULOUS. I TAKE THAT AS AN INSULT. MY DAUGHTER WAS PART OF MY LIFE THAT COULD NEVER BE REPLACED. SHE ALWAYS MADE US PROUD OF HER AND ALL HER ACCOMPLISHMENTS. SHE ALWAYS SET HIGH STANDARDS FOR HERSELF AND WAS GOING TO ACHEIVE WHATEVER SHE SET OUT TO DO. SHE WAS AN INSPIRATION TO HER SISTER AND BROTHER. THEY LOOKED UP TO HER AND WERE VERY PROUD OF HER ALSO. SHE LIFTED ME UP WHEN I WAS DOWN, SOMETHING ONLY SHE COULD DO. SHE HAD A FIANCEE THAT IS DEVISTATED , HE AND WERE TOGETHER ALMOST 6 YEARS. THEY WERE TO BE MARRIED THIS SUMMER IN 2002. THAT IS ALL LOST NOW . THE GRANDCHILDREN THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN WON'T BE. THESE ARE DREAMS OF MOST PARENTS. THE FACT THAT IMY HUSBAND WON'T WALK HER DOWN THE AISLE IS ALSO UNBEARABLE TO HIM. SO 250,000 FOR PAIN AND SUFFERING , HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF THAT WERE YOUR DAUGHTER? YOU ARE A LAWYER LEGALLY WHAT WOULD AN AWARD USUALLY BE UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES, LOSS OF LIFE? GETTING BACK TO THE ECONOMIC LOSS HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN MAKING IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS? HER BOSS WAS VERY PLEASED WITH HERE WORK AND SHE HAD ALREADY MOVED TO ANOTHER DEPARTMENT. HE USED TO TELL HER HE KNEW HE GAVE HE ALOT TO HANDLE BUT SHE COULD HANDLE IT AND SHE WOULD BENEFIT BY IT. SHE CAME HOME FROM WORK ON DAY AND SAID SHE NEW SHE WAS GOING TO RECIEVE A GOOD RAISE THIS YEAR SHE HAD SPOKEN TO HER BOSS AND HE TOLD HER. DOESN'T RAISES ALSO GO BY POTENTIAL AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND YOUR HARD WORK? I'M SURE I SPEAK FOR MANY PEOPLE NOT ONLY MY FAMILY. I THINK THERE ARE MANY THINGS THAT NEED TO BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. ALSO THE COLATERAL OFFSETS I DON'T SEE WHY INSURANCE MONIES NEED TO BE DEDUCTED, AREN'T THEY PAID FOR BY THE COMPANY INCASE OF DEATH, WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH WHAT THE GOVERNMENT IS OFFERING? I FULLY AGREE WITH ON ALL THESE ISSUES. I HOPE YOU WILL SEE THINGS OUR WAY AND CONSIDER A BETTER COMPENSATION FOR ALL THE FAMILIES INVOLVED.
