Lyft driver is covered thru Lyft and insurance correct?


I’m sure Lyft has their own umbrella policy but I would imagine the individual drivers are required to hold insurance

But yes, you basically have to get insurance involved so that is the first domino to fall.

What % fault does Maddie get assigned for getting sloshed and chasing after the guys so they wouldn't leave her behind?


The fact that the bar for setting legal responsibility in civil suits is lower than in criminal cases swings both ways. Its tougher to use the blame the victim argument in a criminal case even if she voluntarily ran after the men and got in their vehicle. However, in the civil case she had an option and chose to leave with them in an inebriated state which might impute some degree of liability to her.

Some carriers exclude coverage when the vehicle is used commercially.

A little overboard here.

We should pass a law that you're not allowed to wander drunkenly through the streets in traffic.

But we don't get to pretend that shitty parenting and shitty behavior don't sometimes result in very bad things happening to people.


And you’ve spent zero energy wondering about the shitty parenting of the rapers. You’re victim blaming 100% at the most opportune time.

No need to wonder, I'm pretty sure these thugs were raised by shitty single Moms....

Not victim blaming, stating facts: Binge drinking by young women and hanging out with thugs is a recipe for disaster.

If they really raped her, hang the bastards in the center of town, but don't pretend that bad decisions don't sometimes lead to bad consequences.

If you're going to sue everyone who said hello to her that night and go Public with your crusade, expect to be put under a microscope

If there is not such a law currently on the books then the dad may also sue his state and federal lawmakers who failed to pass such a common-sense law. Could he also sue the descendants of any prior legislators who also failed to pass said law?

I mean isn’t seeking justice in the verdict going to go public anyways? Seems like you’re just grinding an axe here and victim blaming repeatedly and deliberately.

Roadwork crews painting the lines on the road better look out.

I hate to say it but i kind of agree.

the rapists should be hanged in downtown BR BUT suing the bar (that is permanently closed as a result of this and many other incidents) doesn't feel right knowing a bit about her history working and frequenting said bar. if you attended lsu in the last 15 or so years (probably way more), you know what goes on at reggie's and the different types of people go there. not leaving with (black) townies is like rule #1 of tigerland.

her friends/former coworkers should feel like shite for letting her run out to them though.

eta: all that said, it's beyond terrible that her dad had to learn all of these details.

Pretty much all of them do unless you get an endorsement. Lyft has their own liability insurance for their drivers that are logged in to their network or have a fare.

A man started to climb a high, steep mountain when a snake asked the man to carry him along. “But you’re a snake,” the man said. The snake smiled. “Don’t worry. I won’t bite you.” After days of arduous climbing, the man reached the mountain summit, whereupon the poisonous snake bit him. As he lay dying, the man cried out, “You said you wouldn’t bite me!” His reptilian hitchhiker looked at him and said, “Ha! You knew I was a snake when you picked me up.”
