The process of suing doesn't happen overnight - the attorney will likely have to do a considerable amount of work beforehand. There's a statute of limitations for a reason, and there are a million valid reasons for not running to the courthouse the minute after something happens - in fact, it's SMARTER to wait, because it's important to take the time to make sure all the ducks are in a row.
More cases are lost before filing (to procedural issues, etc.) than after.

Plus, it's not like her death was related to the accident in the first place.

And they're not suing for her death or loss of consortium or anything - just for her injuries/medical bills. You're overreacting.

They sound like money hungry people with a frivolous lawsuit and are using this accident as an excuse to sue.

And you sound like the kind of juror the kid's parents' attorneys will want on the panel: reactionary, biased against lawsuits, relying on personal assumption rather than legal reasoning/experience, and predisposed to "McDonald's Hot Coffee" BS/rhetoric rather than common sense.
It's all good.
Also since when is getting hurt and suing for medical bills "frivolous"? You wouldn't sue if you got tripped up by kids on bikes and broke your leg? You're a saint. And other things, but also a saint.
