Unpopular (though since she's being an ass, perhaps not THAT unpopular) opinion:
As for the old woman, she's 75. She will require 24/7 nurse care for "the rest of her life". She's a frail 75-year old with brain damage. I DOUBT she's going to live to be too much older. If she does, big deal. She should be awarded (IF ANYTHING) the cost of the nursing, no more. No reason she should get vast amounts of money to leave to future generations. Personally, I hope she doesn't get shit for money.
Side note: She's not a good person because she dropped the names of the rescuers from the list in her suit- her lawyer reminded her that civil servants don't make shit, and suing them will do no good, and also it would make her look bad (ungrateful for being saved). She's gotta keep up the poor, nice granny image or she won't get shit for sympathy- and therefore, won't get shit for money. She's now only got her attentions on those in the city, who HAVE the money (since it's the city's insurance company which would foot the bill) to be gotten through a lawsuit.
I hope she doesn't get one dime from them.
