Probably not, but only an attorney can truly know. If he was a doctor, possibly. Regardless, it will be tough to convince a jury that a mother overdosing on crack falls on the negligence of someone else on crack.

If it is something that you think should be pursued, have the representative of her estate (person handling who gets her stuff) talk with an attorney about it. Only her estate can pursue a lawsuit.
