At least she is willing to try, could set up a precedent if she wins.

be interesting to see how it all plays out.... she could come off as a sympathetic figure, one small person against a rich corporation

It plays down to this, if she could afford a lawyer, she would afford the settlement.. It cost them alot of money to go through with it and in the end they cant do anything to make her pay for it. Especially in Texas. I may look up to see what her state law is.
