This is a case of litigation that is unfair to large corporation.
Most of lawsuit, if trial by jurors, the defendant will most likely get the judgement.
Because most of jurors are ordinary people, they tend to feel sorry for the defendant.
Since the large corp. got lots of money, it's okay to give more.
If the defendant asks for less amount (...$10K), she will lose the case.
So, remember, if you want to sue the large corp., ask for millions, then you will win.
