Weighing Injuries

Government Executive September 19, 2003

Injury claims differ widely, so the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund has no standard method for evaluating them. Amounts depend on the nature, severity and duration of the injury. For permanent disabilities, awards are calculated similarly to those for deaths.

Personal Injury Claims (as of Aug. 11)
188 Awards Issued
$500 to $6.8 million Range of Awards
