But more to the point - $24,000 for a life? How much would she have received if she had been immediately compensated? $10,000? 15?

I think the maximum pay out for loss of life under Fiji's Workmens Compensation Laws is $24,000.
Over 30 years later certainly $24,000 should be paid with adjustments on inflation and interest had this been taken on by a lawyer.
Ms Francis however looks happy and thats who matters in this case.
