If I wanted to win N dollars in a lawsuit I would start by asking for some multiple of N. I would probably get what I wanted if the defense convinces the judge or jury to reduce the damages or tries to negotiate a settlement.
Especially in the case of negotiating a settlement, if you start by asking for exactly what you want you'll get less than that.
