A judge/jury get to decide what warrants compensation, not you.

Not knowing anything about Florida Law, I'm assuming that this is an "invasion of privacy" suit. Depending on the law in Florida and the specific facts, this could be a very winnable case for her.

This, if nothing else, is a good object lesson for active members who might be reading it -- there are a lot of things which can get you sued which you probably didn't know could get you sued.
