Plenty of reasons. People have a certain amount of time in which they can bring a lawsuit, which is called the "statute of limitations." She may not have realized she had a legal claim. They may have been trying to settle it without filing suit (very likely). Maybe she wasn't emotionally ready to deal with it. Who knows. But there are plenty of reasons why she would wait. Litigation, even before a complaint is filed, can be a lengthy process.
