Including the Lyft driver is a piece of shite move that makes me lose some compassion for this guy.
He's taking the advice of his lawyer, I suspect. He lost his daughter. I know John's parents and knew John when he was a boy. While I can't say this for certain because I have not spoken to him since he was probably 10 or 11, I doubt he is doing it for the money. If it were my daughter I am uncertain I would be thinking clearly even now.

Acting as if I claimed this case is the only one raising rates and not the general mindset overall is even lower IQ, but you do you.

"It is now time to hold Reggie’s Bar, its employees, and others, responsible for their irresponsible actions and neglect of Louisiana’s drinking laws that led to the death of Madison.
"Reggie’s was notorious for serving underage individuals’ alcohol and this time, the ending was the tragic death of a beautiful and talented young lady, Madison Brooks."
Maybe this is a hot take, but I don’t feel like this was Reggie’s fault.

Madison Brooks' father is suing virtually everyone involved in his daughter's death…
…John Brooks, who is Madison's biological dad,
Seems like most articles back when this happened mentioned Ashley and Scott as parents, and until this lawsuit I didn’t know that the last name of her mom and siblings is Baustert (and her stepdad Scott’s). Also, when talking about her parents or statements contributed to a parent the focus was her mom including coming from a different attorney out of New Orleans who was representing the mom. Maybe John came up in thread here in the OT, but with news and most discussion I didn’t remember him coming up enough to register in my memory.
Did the dad just try to avoid seeking attention? Or was he not very involved in Madison’s life?
If not involved is doing this lawsuit against anyone possible on his own and filing first a way to make sure he is included in any future lawsuit or settlement being discussed or planned by the mom and brothers?

It’s up to the responsible citizen to not waste the court’s time unless he or she feels the person or business is truly at fault.

They never really checked ID’s when we used to go and were underaged. They would look at it most times and then slap a bracelet on us regardless of the age.

Pretty typical. I believe lyft has a 1 million umbrella over their drivers. So in a high profile case like this the lawyer for her dad will try and get them to settle and its possible the lawyers for uber wont want the bad press so they will.

Just like the tire company in that wreck on i-10 in BR where that overloaded van with 4 wrong tires and bald tires at that had that multi fatality blowout wreck... tire companies insurer settled for a ton on $$$ even though van owner driver were 100% responsible.
I'm pretty sure the police determined the Lyft driver did nothing wrong.

Should sue himself and the mother too. They’re culpable.

I didn't follow the big thread so I don't know anything more than has been posted ITT but why is everyone so quick to agree the Lyft driver has no culpability? Is it based on the police findings? If so they are far from perfect when doing accident reconstruction. Is the allegation the driver was only going 15 mph at the time of the accident backed up in any way? It seems odd to miss a human in the road at 15 mph and drive right into them if she didn't dart out. Again there may be more evidence than I am privy to.

A dad who lost his daughter in an incredibly painful way and is lashing out the only way he can isn’t raising insurance rates.
Every fender bender complaining of neck pain and seeing a shady chiropractor is raising insurance rates
Funny how they’re represented by the same attorneys regardless…

I was thinking the same thing.
Since this is a civil suit he can sue his own attorney

Sure about that?
