She should get a personal injury lawyer who specializes in wrongful death cases. Fatality cases are very difficult and may result not only suing the driver of the car which he was driving in, but the other driver as well as a manufacturere if there is an issue as to a defective car part. Not every personal injury attorney will take cases or can handle cases regarding a fatality so make sure that she looks for someone who has expereience with these type of cases.
