This is pure speculation on my part, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest a possible scenario:

1. In New Jersey, the statute of limitations for liability cases involving personal injury is two years. I suspect this lawsuit was filed because there is some kind of unresolved issue related to the original incident and the woman was basically forced to file the suit to keep her options open and protect her interests.

2. The "unresolved issue" in the case may very well relate to original claims that were filed against the town or Little League for the woman's medical bills. Those claims may have even been filed by an insurance company, not the woman herself.

I suspect there's a lot more to this story than what's being reported.
