Maybe the message should be, young adults shouldn't try to drink and break the law when they are not old enough to drink.
It's like blaming McDonald's for someone's obesity while they inhale a 200 piece chicken nuggets and 50 quarter pounders.

from what someone that knows the dad - he and mom were not on good terms and is kinda surprised mom didn't file suit first.
They have a year to file I think. When criminal trials are involved it’s not uncommon to file towards the end.
I had been thinking Scott was the father. I mentioned earlier that John may just not seek attention in press or social media, but until filing he has been mostly silent and maybe mostly in Florida while other family pushed for charges, answers questions, and hired an attorney to help address media, leaks, and other crap defense attorneys have put out about Madison and that night. Being surprised that the mother has not filed yet and filing first months before deadline against everyone possible including the kitchen sink also doesn’t really wash with not wanting attention in press. It comes across as spite towards mother and seeking money. Hopefully that’s not true, but it’s fair for anyone to think that based on his own actions or inactions.
It sucks he lost his daughter, but it also sucks he hadn’t been that involved with his daughter for awhile (based on ages of half-siblings and living in different states) and didn’t take the lead after her death.

I don't think anyone has made the claim he should sue no one, but sweet melt anyway.

They just want to repeat a common popular meme to get upvotes
“This is why insurance rates are so high”
What insurance? Auto? Home?
This case doesn’t even have anything to do with auto insurance or home insurance.
Auto insurance is high because of the thousands of frivolous back and neck pain lawsuits. Not grieving fathers.
Home insurance is high because of building homes in flood areas of a costal state.
This case has zero to do with the average persons insurance rates.

So when Lyfts insurance just gives them $100k to settle and not go to court, even though they have zero fault but they don’t want to actually have to go to trial b/c that’ll cost too much, that will have nothing to do with auto insurance?
That’s how every auto insurance in this state works during stupid frivolous lawsuits. They just settle with the $25k or $50k instead of going to court, even though they know they would win in court, it still costs them money to go to court so they just settle.
Insurance companies get rich, lawyers get rich, shitty chiropractors get rich, shitty citizens get a small check, the rest of us pay out the arse for insurance. frick anyone and everyone involved with frivolous car accident lawsuits.

Thank you for the kind words.
I’m not saying the guys should or should not file a lawsuit. That’s his call. Just responding to the folks angry about the driver being sued to give an explanation as to WHY he has been named as a defendant.
If you are filing a lawsuit you are doing so with the intent to recover damages. And you have a higher chance of recovering damages from an insurance company (policy) than a guy making $30k a year. So in order to get the policy potentially on the hook the driver has to be named.

I'm not advocating for anyone. Just telling you why the driver was sued...to get to the insurance policy. Not the actual driver. They won't try to collect anything directly from him.
Police cleared the driver.
Depends what the driver’s policy limits are. If he’s being sued for $10 million, his policy isn’t going to cover that.
And even if his policy is just sued successfully for whatever the limit is, the drivers insurance will go up drastically. Still going to cost the driver.

no it won't. That's not how that works.
my wife was in a 5 car pile up, the car in the middle, and was at no fault. our insurance paid the piece of shite first car who had but a scratch $50k. Our insurance did not go up.
Lawyers and insurance companies know how it works. Name eveyrone, insurance company just settles with what used to be $25k, but now $50k b/c that's the limit to not have a jury trial, or at least it was as i think they were trying to up it to $100k, and the insurance just settles for $50k instead of going to court even though they know they will win. They don't have the time to fight frivolous lawsuits and they cost money to fight, so they just settle.
So as i said, we all pay more money for insurance and they have a built in $50k settlement for whatever estimated drivers they'll have to pay out for in LA. They still get rich, lawyers get rich, chiropractors get rich, piece of shite citizen gets a check for like $8k out of the $50k, and we still live in a shitty state.

I got hit by a drunk driver going 100 mph and hurt my back. I went to a lawyer to try to get my medical bills paid. he was all excited until he found out the DD had an insurance company that just went under. Then he started saying well we can sue the driver of the car i was in, her parents and your parents insurance. I said no way and ended up only getting my medical bills covered by the state.

The insurer of the car you were in, who may have been collecting premium to offer you coverage in this situation, surely appreciates your generosity.

You mean by John Q. Taxpayer. How is that better than the suing the for-profit company who collected premium to offer coverage?

The state stepped in and paid for this insurance companies claims. Point is I didn't gain anything I was just concerned with my medical bills. Sure if they had State Farnm I would have been compensated more than just medical bills. I assume you're a lawyer and would sue anyone without thinking that the settlements and awards aren't eventually passed on to the consumers...who are tax payers correct?

He was cleared criminally which is not the same thing as being cleared from civil liability.

This is pretty standard for civil suits. Sue everyone and see if something sticks. Less burden of proof.
