Title A name given to the resource Department of Justice Emails Description An account of the resource The Department of Justice received more than 11,000 e-mails in response to the agency's public solicitation for comments upon its plans to distribute the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001 established by Congress to benefit the victims of September 11 and their families. These e-mails have been organized here by date. September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. It is my opinion that there should not be a collateral source clause. When a settlement is reached in a lawsuit, there are no deductions from the settlement. Why should a victim's family be penalized by reducing their monetary compensation because they had a pension and/or life insurance. It hardly seems fair that a kers' family can effectively be excluded from receiving any benefit from the Federal Government because they decided to opt out of a complicated lawsuit and le with the Victim Compensation Program. Maybe the airlines should be held more accountable for their led to this horrible disaster. It is also my opinion that the domestic partners that have legal papers as such and are dependent on their partners for financial security should be able to be compensated for their loss. I also feel that parents should be compensated. What other situation can be more dreadful than the loss of a child? The formula for compensation should be the subject of review + possible revision to reflect present economic standards. A panel of economists should be empowered to oversee the procedure + the results of their findings should be taken into consideration by the Special Master. If we are considering entering into this Program instead of a lawsuit, shouldn't the same rules that govern a l lawsuit+ protect the plaintiff apply? I sincerely think so! That is exactly why the cap on pain + suffering should be revised!
