Im not looking at it as this guy is going to get an excess judgment against him. We all know those circumstances are slim. If Im naming the policy the car was under, Im naming the owner of the vehicle. Plain as that. Go file a MSJ and get him out if its a slam dunk.

Im not risking anything when Im naming parties to a lawsuit

I do about 1 pecent defense work...but if I did more, and your client filed that claim against my owner, I'd be most pleased to file that MSJ, get my dismissal with an award of court cost(which we both know would exceed $1000.00 in most parishes), and I'd collect from your client's ultimate recovery. Since I do 99 percent PI work, and I don't wish to explain to a disgruntled client why he owes those costs (and I don't care to eat the expense myself), I don't sue owners without factual support. I can always add one if discovery generates the basis for amendment.
