A person who falls to the ground and becomes unresponsive, is always a medical emergency. LOOK AT THE TAGS FOR TRIGGER WARNINGS.
In the leaks, it's shown that Human Jax pushed her mother to the ground; and, besides from not being able to get up, she's also unresponsive. She does not speak, yell, nor scream once she falls to the ground. She's both unconscious and unable to move.
Depending on the severity of the symptoms, and the details of the fall itself, it could signal severe damage such as head injuries, concussions, brain bleed, severe trauma, spinal injury, internal injury, broken bones, neck injuries, internal bleeding, etc. Several of these things can easily be a cause of disability, whether permanently or temporarily.
As OP said, we, unfortunately, will never know what actually happened to HJ's mother. Unless, I don't know, Gooseworx herself or someone in the staff says something about her. We don't know if she was left to die there, or if someone else somehow found her on the ground and called for help, or if someone else found her corpse, if we're being really pessimistic.
Legally, this can be considered physical assault, or more specifically in this case, domestic violence.
Putting those facts aside, I don't know how the hell we are, as the viewers, supposed to feel empathy or sympathy for Jax. We're never revealed what Jax's mother did to him. It is only implied that she emotionally abused or mistreated him, but nothing more or less.
Personally, I would expect this physically violent reaction from more severe forms of abuse. I'm not saying that emotional abuse isn't "too bad", or that it doesn't have psychological consequences, but I don't find emotional abuse as a justification to kill someone (whether accidentally or not). I would, as a viewer, understand a murder over heinous crimes such as child sexual abuse, child sexual exploitation, a homicide attempt, extreme child neglect, or physical or sexual torture. None of these things happened to HJ (Human Jax), none of these things were implied to have happened to HJ.
Now, moving on to his reaction— it wasn't good either. I think we can all agree that he should've stayed and called 911 or other emergency services, because being unresponsive after falling to the ground is a really bad sign. And Jax knew it.
While I do think Jax had the genuine intention to push her away, I do not think he intended to kill her or provoke significant, physical damage. That's why, when HJ saw her mother laying on the ground, motionless, he absolutely panicked. Charges were going to be pressed on him if he called an ambulance or something. "Oh yeah I pushed my mother and then she didn't move". There's no way you can leave that situation without confronting charges of physical assault, domestic violence, or even murder/attempted murder. It could be argued that he could have called 911 and then lied, saying that he didn't push her, that it was an accident, that she fell on her own, that they both tripped and fell, etc. But HJ was so fucking scared when he saw his mother unable to move that his only response was to run away.
We also do not exactly know whether Jax feels guilty or not about what he did to his mother, but for sure he has a pattern of mistreatment towards women and non binary people (if we also count Zooble). This pattern is up to speculation and interpretation. A theory of mine is that he bullies people who aren't men, because they remember him of his mother, someone he feels resentment to.
