    I understand that 9/11 was a horrible event and many people were hurt, but if it’s your job to serve and protect you don’t get a bonus just because. I don’t see a fund being made for all the police officers who have been killed in the line of duty, where there families can’t bury them and things of that nature. America is so money hungry that they will take this tragedy and turn it into a pay day. So very sad.

    It is time to change our civil court system.

    Perhaps a panel of insurance company executives or agents can hear and determine cases.

    I think they have a great idea of categorizing by severity of injury. The more injured, the more money is needed to take care of you. Having the sniffles is going to cost less than a broken back.

    Categorize the injuries and pay based on that.

    A couople of thinsg – don’t mix this up with the deceased – The police officers families received hundreds of thousands of dollars from the federal government commission.

    One of the problems with all the litigation is that you FORCE people to sue / file a claim bvecause of potential future lss. Say you inhaled asbestos glass and who knows what else at the event. Today you have sniffles, 20 years from now no lung function.
    The person who posted is right – the civil court system is not set up to be an arbiter or “fair” in cases like this – it is an adversary system.
    Like the Federal commission on the deaths, there needs to be a way of handling this type of disaster.
