If my math is correct, lost income over 2.75 years since 9-11, comes to $1.4 million a year salary? Does any NBA player make that much?
AmEx pays their people pretty good.

Lost income figures into the future, also, including interest.
Would you change places with her for $100 million?
Are you kidding? You must not follow the NBA very closely. Probably two thirds of NBA players are making that.
And Michael Jordan, in his last year with the Chicago Bulls, had a salary of $33 million and endorsements worth $35 million.
So no, NBA players don't make that kind of money. They make much, much more.
Considering the $369 million that was awarded by a jury yesterday to an SUV driver involved in a rollover accident....this 9-11 victim was "undercompensated".....
Your math may be correct but since this woman isn't going back to work any time soon and some of the award covers loss of earning capacity, past and future medical care and pain and suffering in addition to lost wages, it's your assumptions that are wrong.
