I don't understand what you need justified. She's not suing the dead kid. 
She's suing the dead kid's life insurance or whatever, to get paid for the 
damage caused by the dead kid.

If he threw a ball at the train, and it bounced off and hit her and smashed 
up her face, you'd say "sure, she deserves to get reimbursed for that 
expense." The fact that it was a body part shouldn't make a difference.
