33 Political Caveat One Fund Cash Distributions A total of 6 eligible claimants each received $2,195,000. This category includes loss of life and those who sustained double amputations of limbs or permanent brain damage as a result of the Marathon tragedy. A total of 14 eligible claimants each received $1,195,000. This category includes those who sustained amputation of a limb as a result of the Marathon tragedy. A total of 69 eligible claimants each received between $125,000 and $948,300, as detailed in the list below. This category includes those who were physically injured and hospitalized for one or more nights due to physical injuries resulting from the Marathon tragedy. They received payments determined by length of hospital stay: 10 eligible claimants received $948,300 for 32 or more overnights 5 eligible claimants received $735,000 for overnights 5 eligible claimants received $580,000 for overnights 15 eligible claimants received $480,000 for 8-15 overnights 16 eligible claimants received $275,000 for 3-7 overnights 18 eligible claimants received $125,000 for 1-2 overnights 33
34 Conclusions The 2013 Boston Marathon bombing experience offers several opportunities for lessons learned Many of these lessons reference prior experience from battlefield injuries in war theaters and terrorist events Some are based on special circumstances and relate to capabilities present only in a resource-rich environment 34
