To be candid with you, I am not a lawyer so better ask one to be sure.

In the interest of right vs wrong, natural tama ka. and you did the right thing by having it documented by the enforcer, securing the witness testimony and filing the complaint.

However, with our judiciary system, good luck. If you can have a settlement from the operator, mas ok yun than drag on with this kasi maubos oras mo dito (unless you're getting a huge amount of settlement). Pero wag na wag ka pipirma ng quitclaim and release waiver unless you get hold of the cash (kasi check pwede tumalbog, hintay kamo ng clearing). Check mo rin baka fake yung bills na ibayad sayo.
