Su Mu also participated in the negotiations, and also walked into Mr. Gillie's office, along with Miss Lily, who helped a lot.

She holds the position of vice president of the student council in Castellal, and with a good father who is a school director, she can walk almost sideways in the school.

Previously, if someone else had borrowed the school radio, they would have been kicked out by the security guards a long time ago, and she could easily solve the trouble with a phone call, if it wasn't for Su Mu pulling people through the radio, she would definitely not have called so many alumni to help.

In addition, there are two representatives of the Chinese trade union, Su Old Man was worried that his grandson would cause trouble, and he also followed into the conference room, and when Su Mu thanked his grandfather, he was taught a hard lesson by this old man with a knife mouth and a tofu heart.

However, if the Social Security Administration agreed to negotiate, Old Man Su was actually very happy, and the poor Chinese in Chinatown in the United States lacked self-confidence and a sense of honor in their hearts, and a little achievement could make them feel satisfied......

Just like Ge Qiu, who hid for the time being and didn't show up, talked to Director Gilry before.

During the negotiation, the elder Gilly represented the SSA and told that he was willing to give Mrs. Lin $70,000 in relief, which was considered compensation for previous work mistakes, and would give out more than $500 in relief every month in the future, in addition to other help, such as arranging nursing homes, caregivers and other benefits for the elderly.

At this time, the average annual salary of the United States was about $17,000, about 65 times the per capita income of China and four to five times that of Baodao.

Therefore, many Chinese residents have been attracted to come to the United States as much as possible, trying to earn a lot of money to bring home freely, and there are many Koreans and RB people who come to the United States to seek development opportunities.

$70,000 is definitely a lot of money for an old man.

This means that the old lady Lin, who sells zongzi, can live in a nursing home, enjoy the help of the nurse, do not have to worry about three meals a day, and do not have to continue to work hard and busy, and finally be able to enjoy her old age in peace.

The union sent a lawyer over, mainly by the middle-aged lawyer surnamed Jiang to help negotiate the conditions, Su Mu, who was sitting and listening, felt that these conditions sounded good, at least to solve Grandma Lin's problem.

Lawyer Jiang looked very untempered, and was surprised to find that Director Gilly had given such good conditions, and his mind immediately became active, thinking that he had pinched the SSA's pigtails, and the superior of the SSA supervisor was afraid of racial contradictions and the like.

So he boldly offered: "$100,000 in compensation, plus $100,000 in moral damages, or we will continue to sue."

Other conditions remain the same, pay the nursing home fees according to a reasonable percentage, if you can, you can talk about it, can you just wait for the summons, only 70,000 dollars, can compensate this old woman for more than 20 years of suffering?"

Old man Su was a little stunned after hearing this, he didn't understand why Lawyer Jiang asked for such a large sum of money, he originally thought it was only 10,000 or 20,000 US dollars, but he opened his mouth to say 200,000 US dollars.

didn't scare Director Girry, but first scared Old Man Su, thinking that the other party would definitely not agree, worried that if the request was too high, the negotiations would be deadlocked, and in the end he couldn't even get $70,000......

Not sure why.

Perhaps it is because the legal system is not in place, or the people have been bullied since ancient times and have become accustomed to this society of the jungle, so ordinary Chinese in Chinatown rarely take up legal weapons to defend their rights and interests, and even if they encounter problems, they will not first think of solving them through law.

More than 200 years have passed since the implementation of the US Constitution, and the legal system has long been developed and perfected, and the concept of the legal system has also been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

In the process of making and enforcing the law, they have accumulated a wealth of experience, so much so that if they pee in the alley, they may be sent to the court for judgment if they are caught.

In the modern era, U.S. laws are relatively sound, but not necessarily fair.

It is relatively fair for the poor to go to court with the poor, and it is relatively fair for the rich to go to court, and it is relatively fair for the rich to go to court, and it is difficult to say what the result will be when the poor and the rich go to court.

The vast majority are won by the rich, and even if the rich lose, the cost will be small.

For example, in August 1978, a Ford Zebra was hit by the rear of the car, causing the fuel tank to explode, killing three young girls on the spot.

Subsequently, some people investigated and found that in the seven years since the car came out, there have been nearly 50 lawsuits related to the rear of the car being hit and then exploding.

Even more frighteningly, it was discovered that Ford had known about the defect in the fuel tank for a long time, but they did a report called an "accounting cost-benefit analysis" to determine whether it was worth adding a special protective device to prevent the car from exploding.

In that "Meeting" cost-benefit analysis, Ford put a price on the assumption that the tank would cause 180 deaths and 180 burns if no changes were made.

According to the fact that a life is worth $200,000 and burns are compensated between $60,000 and $70,000, it is calculated that adding $11 worth of devices to 12.5 million vehicles will cost more than $130 million, and that compensation for the dead and injured will save about $50 million.

When this document appeared at trial, the jury was shocked! There was widespread concern in society because they simply priced human lives!

Later, punitive damages amounted to hundreds of millions of dollars, and Ford also recalled those problematic cars, which can be said to have lost his wife and soldiers, and his reputation plummeted.

Damages under U.S. law, which are divided into compensatory damages and punitive damages, are mainly intended to restrict powerful individuals and companies from making mistakes.

In Lawyer Jiang's view, this time she can recover punitive damages from the Social Security Administration, and Mrs. Lin is partly at fault, but it is not that she deliberately did not pursue the relief, the main reason is that the SSA has been inactive, causing an elderly man to be poor for so many years, the old man does not have much ability to work, and the official has the obligation to support them.

If you have a problem, you should seek legal help.

Old man Su's thinking is rather old-fashioned, but Su Mu feels that this amount of compensation is within a reasonable range, and the crowd outside is still waiting for the result, and the conference room is quiet at this time, and old Mr. Jierry is thinking.

If he hadn't been greedy for that money, he would definitely not compromise easily, and now the situation is different, worried that other organizations will intervene in the investigation and finally expose what he has committed, he sighed deeply and replied: "OK, but you can't continue the march, I will help you deal with it soon." ”

Su Mu wanted to ask what the others should do, but when Lawyer Jiang was about to speak, he patted Su Mu on the shoulder and signaled Shao'an not to be impatient......
