Sue the driver if you must. Lyft is 100% not responsible here
They were presumably within the course and scope of employment or acting on behalf of Lyft, which means that Lyft's insurance could be primary, which means Lyft MUST be included.
You would rather them sue the driver personally than Lyft's insurance? That is weird.

What did Lyft the company do?
You realize all you're doing is arguing for continuing operating in the same way that has our insurance rates through the fricking roof right?

Seems like the general idea from our resident lawyers on here is to just sue everyone.

Neat, now explain how Lyft the company should be "reasonably" responsible in any way besides having the deepest pockets.
Was the person driving for Lyft at the time of the accident? Were they in the Course and Scope of Employment, Acting for, or on a Mission and Errand for Lyft?
Would Lyft's insurance be Primary? if so, you have no choice. Louisiana is a Direct Action State.
Lyft isn't going to have any "personal responsibility". Nothing is going to come directly from Lyft. You have to include them to include their insurance.
Are you under the impression that they are trying to get something directly from Lyft? Holy shite

Tearing open the Lyft driver's wounds is not the way to go about this. The driver, who did nothing wrong, likely is already wracked with guilt and now has to relive that over and over again in court

Again...If they were working for Lyft at the time, LYFT MUST BE INCLUDED in order to sue Lyft's insurance as well.
Louisiana is a Direct Action state. They are not trying to get money directly from Lyft nor will they.
Some state's are NOT direct Action and you wouldn't need to include Lyft. Louisiana requires it.

If he wasnt on the clock working for Lyft at the time I would agree, however, if he was on a trip getting paid, he would 100% be covered by Lyft.
They probably already subpoenaed Lyft and saw that the driver was on a ride call on the clock and that's why they named Lyft.

Love it when lawyers justify their shitty lawsuits like this.
“Oh we just want to go after insurance”
Yea and hike this poor Lyft guys insurance rates to the moon and continue the pattern of bullshite lawsuits which contribute to Louisiana leading the nation in insurance rates.

Bro, I know you don't like me and that is ok, I really don't care and have nothing against you.
Just admit you don't know anything about this and don't have a clue what I am actually saying here.
I am not arguing for the veracity of the claim, I am simply stating legal facts.

Reading the list of Defendants, I was legit curious how much he dropped on the filing fees wantonly.

I have a clue, you're too stupid to understand that the whole way your profession operates is what I'm criticizing.

You're right, I don't get it.
A Lyft driver struck and killed her, while working for Lyft.
They have to sue Lyft, the driver, and their insurance, because Louisiana is a comparative fault state.

Add "Word salad" to the list of phrases that have been misused so much they have no meaning. RIP, old friend.

I am simply arguing what IS.

And those farmers that grew the grain that made the alcohol.
And the fertilizer companies that protected the crop. And the municipality that provided the water to irrigate the crop. And the petroleum companies that provide the fuel for the Lyft driver and the tractors. And on and on and on.

He put in the qualifier 'directly' though.
Seems to be a disconnect where they think going after the insurance somehow doesn't result in more money coming out of my pocket

Correct, because they will not pay anyone directly.
And in this case it probably won't be affected much. But normally yes your insurance would go up.
