Yes, she can file a lawsuit. However, you state nothing about any agreement they had, or the other person's side. Those issues dictate whether she will prevail in the suit.

This sounds like a perfect case for Small Claims Court. Go to the courthouse and they will give you the forms.

There are several options open to your mother, one of which is to pay an attorney to put the individuals on notice of the actions that will be taken against them in the event that they do not pay your mother. This could be done for a small fee. Please don't hesitate to contact me in the event that you wish to pursue this option.
