Damage control?

Either way, they should say the Stephens family will cover all medical expenses for this woman.

Even though a person was stuck in our elevator for 2 days, it was just a maid. We refuse to allow the elevator to be inspected because we want time to install the safety measures to prevent this and blame the maid for not figuring it out. Yes it was inspected before but a few bucks in the inspector's hand gave us a pass. That was cheaper than bringing it up to code.

If you think one of our family members sitting by her bedside is proof that we care, it's not. She is there to keep lawyers away. To convince the maid, while she is in a hospital bed, to accept a few thousand dollars and give up her right to sue.


Make no mistake after a reasonable amount of time has passed, we will invent a reason to fire her. Getting stuck in our elevator was her fault because she is not smart enough to escape on her own, maybe she pressed a button wrong. Anyhow, we don't need a dumb maid ruining our stellar reputation.
