Victim Impact Statements: How Can You Maximize Your Claim?
The September 11th Victim Compensation Fund (VCF) doesn’t only provide compensation for wage loss suffered by those who incurred a 9/11-related illness as a result of their exposure to the toxins at the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attack sites. It also provides compensation for the severity of a 9/11 illness and the impact that the illness has had on their lives. To claim this compensation – known as pain-and-suffering damages – many claimants opt to provide a victim impact statement along with their claim.
