9/11 Victim Compensation Fund for Pain & Suffering Damages
The VCF recognizes that one’s quality of life is a valuable asset that scan be diminished by health complications.
- Chronic pain due to 9/11-related health problems
- Emotional distress brought on by health problems and the inability to function normally
- Inability to enjoy life as before
‘Non-economic losses’ such as these must be related to a qualified medical condition caused by 9/11 events.
- If that’s the case, 9/11 victims may be eligible even if the disability isn’t permanent, and if no time is lost from work
- Purely ‘mental injuries’ such as PTSD are not covered, if there is no VCF-qualified physical injury or illness
