to the OP, she hit your mom's hand? I think she can be sued for that..
she gave your mom unnecessary bodily contact..and even said racial slurs..i think that is considered a hate crime if she did something both verbal and physical

you should report her to the RCMP and file a police report..saying that she tried to run away after a hitting your car then upon confrontation, she caused bodily harm and also discriminated against your race

i think the biggest issue here..is that she actually HIT the OP's mom..
whether or not it was a little pat or a big slap, she still touched her physically..and also made racial comments

this is unacceptable
also, what the OP could do is not SUE, but to report the incident to the police

this is not a private case, so why would the OP have to pay for lawyers? this is a CRIMINAL case and the police/courts should take care of it..whether it is just a warning for the old lady or it is escalates into court

i wouldn't suggest her to sue the old lady directly..but report it and let the police know that this woman is going around, hitting people and saying nasty comments
