I've had this too.

Be pragmatic and move on (mentally), and don't make it personal nor seek revenge. I'm sure it would be tempting to make them suffer like you have, but if doing so will make you worse off then you already are (be it financially or emotionally), what's the point.

Accept the base line outcome is zero, don't make it less than that and anything extra is a bonus.

Persue it, dispassionately but persue it, not for revenge but for the good of everyone else including your own future self.

It is not long term thinking to to just absorb such things in my opinion. It must cost the perpetrator enough that the most selfish unprincipled business animal decides that even for purely selfish reasons, they gain the most by avoiding triggering such suits.

It's a duty.
