Erin Brockovich was able to gather 634 plaintiffs. She & Ed put in so much hard work that the judge was able to examine the evidence & award them 338 million dollars. This huge amount was divided into the amount of plaintiffs. Erin Brockovich was awarded 2 million for all her hard work which was more than she had originally expected to get. The case only took 9 months & was settled as a binding arbitration.
The story was very inspiring because in the beginning everyone not only doubted her but they also heavily judged her for physical appearance.
They didn't take into consideration the things she's been through and the things she could do. The only thing they saw was a single mother who liked to dress in short skirts, they didn't see the intelligence she had to offer. Erin Brockovich was a smart woman who knew exactly what she wanted and knew how to stand for what she believes in.
This was a perfect example, especially for women to stand for yourself and when people doubt you, it should give you all the reason to prove them wrong. What doesn't kill you should only make you stronger, no one has the right to judge you except yourself.
