september 11th victims compensation fund
12/24/01
Dear Sir/Madam:
I would like to comment on the wording of the
fund that relates to physical harm. i severly hurt my
back and neck on sept. 11 running away from tower 2
after the second plane hit the building. i worked in
tower two along with my brother and sister-in-law, who
were both killed. i did not make it to a doctor the
next day because i was working the telephones trying
to find the where abouts of my brother and
sister-in-law. sadly to say we could not locate them
anywhere, but this is the reason that i did not make
it to my doctor within 24 hours. i saw and was
examined by my physician on september 13th. i have
been out of work since september 11th on workmans
compensation. i have never had any prior neck or back
injuries and find it unreasonable, almost unethical,
to deny someone like myself access to the fund. i feel
that Mr. Feinberg, should consider the circumstances
involving my case and amend the rules of the fund so
that true physical injury victims can go forward and
use the fund. in my case it was impossible to see a
doctor with in 24 hours due to the fact that my
brother and sister-in-law were both missing and later
confirmed dead. i request that the special master
change this criteria or at least examine cases like
mine that have truly extenuating circumstances. i look
forward to a reply.
Thank You,
