Pat Tillman's family probably only got $100K!
I feel very sorry for this poor woman that was a victim of the evildoers. However, I would also think that she had insurance that would be covering her medical costs. I hear of tragedy happening every day and the victims don't end up getting federal aid.
And that's the most that the Tillman's can ever expect, I'm afraid...
A lot of insurance plans cap out, typically somewhere over $1m. Check your's out. Her med bills are already up to $4M and it sounds like they will continue for more years as they reconstruct her crushed body.
The $8M sounds like a fair award considering what she went through and will continue to go through for the rest of her life. Just say a prayer for her.
