Growing up, I have always heard about my grandmother's brave pursuit of justice. She owned an apartment building and one bright day, a truck carrying gasoline hit it and the building was razed to the ground. The company responsible for the fleet was very powerful and so what was expected was that a tidy sum would be given to my grandmother as compensation and that was the end of it... my grandmother thought otherwise.
My grandmother who took pictures of her burning building, the truck that hit it and the DRIVER noted that the driver was actually drunk. To cut the long story short, my grandmother said no to the sum, sued the company for all it's worth, years passed, and she won. David has beaten Goliath...
This story would repeat itself over and over and since she died before I was born, it sort of made me view her as a Super Woman. So one day, I just decided to see if the story was true. I searched for the court records pertaining to her case. The document arrived and I spent all afternoon reading it; after that, I concluded... she really was Super Woman!
