Last week, Palm Beach Gardens police released a preliminary report saying she was the driver at fault in a June 9 accident that injured Jerome Barson, a passenger in the other vehicle.
Pro-tennis star Venus Williams, 37, was involved in a vehicle accident early this month in Florida, which killed a 78-year-old man.
Linda Barson was at the wheel of the family's Hyundai when it collided with a 4x4 driven by Williams at an intersection.
In a Facebook post, Williams, who is about to make her 20 appearance in the women's singles competition at the Wimbledon Championships, said she had been left "devastated and heartbroken" after the accident.
According to the police report, Linda Barson told police she was traveling west in the right lane and approaching an intersection, slowing for a traffic light.
Despite the pending lawsuit, Williams will still play at Wimbledon-the third Grand Slam tournament of the year-which begins Monday. He said the light was green when she entered the intersection.
