I think a lot depends on New York's act concerning tort claims against the state or city. That aside, I think she's going to have some serious issues with contributory negligence. I don't think it's much of a case. And it doesn't seem that the girl suffered any major damages. It sounds like the mother is a very simple person who sees a payday in her future.
On these facts, I'd probably decline to represent her.
