i was driving home last night in a no lit highway going the correct speed limit of 58 in a 55. i couldn't imagine hitting a human "standing in the middle of the road". If he was excessively speeding, there is liability for his actions.

I’m speaking strictly criminal liability

well stop speaking "strictly" criminal. I've only spoken of liability.

There are 0 facts to support your argument. We don’t know whether she was standing or lying in the roadway at the time of impact either

Well no fricking shite an attorney will investigate the viability of a civil suit. Stop pussyfooting around and state whether you think he should be charged criminally or not

you're clueless dude. I don't have an argument other than waiting for some details of the investigation that could prove his liability one way or another in the investigation. There has been a line in the articles about her "standing in the middle of the road". That's all i can find about details.

I'm not arguing criminal. If he shares burden of liability in the accident, he's a huge part of why Madi is dead today. Not sure why you're pussyfooting around defending him so bad. Why that outrages you. His driving has nothing to do with the burden of criminal liability on the other 4.

My daughter hit a cow in the middle of the road going 53 in a 50. Now it was a solid black cow at 1030pm. But it can happen. Especially to a ride-share driver who's glancing at their gps/pickups every few seconds. FWIW: This is NOT the same as distracted driving.
The blame and focus on the person who hit Madi is a waste of energy and misplaced anger in my opinion.

The Uber driver will be the clearest path to recovering damages.
Reggie’s is unlikely to have insurance that will cover this or much in the way of assets. I also think it has some dram shop law protections.
If the four accused have insurance, I don’t think it’s going to cover criminal acts.
So if you are going to sue anyone, it’s likely to be the Uber driver.

1) nobody cares about civil liability in this thread
2) his driving does have to do with a potential yet longshot manslaughter charge for the other 4

So, these details are very important to discuss. Thanks.

I don't think the driver was distracted to the point it was negligent. But just as you might look off at a billboard or at your gas gauge while driving.
I've ridden in plenty ubers/lyfts and almost every one has the gps/phone up above the dash to watch the road and their trip relatively safely. The ride share driver was absolutely asked all this stuff while submitting to toxicology screen.

Humans don't belong in the middle of the road. Stop trying to troll this thread.

just stop conflating “liability” when discussing two very distinct areas of the law. Nobody is interested in a civil suit that won’t be fleshed out for a year or two
Posted on 1/31/23 at 8:34 am to Chad504boy
Civil liability on the part of Reggie's will eventually be an issue.
I thought one report said Madison was in the street trying to flag down a ride? The driver of the Uber has never been named publicly.

If so, his conduct would be relevant as an intervening act. But we are pretty far afield. Seems like we are going through Ruston to get to Venice.

How many people hit deer in their vehicles?! GTFO here with this. Stop with the driver of the Uber nonsense.
Posted on 1/31/23 at 8:35 am to JudgeHolden
that’s true but we don’t have those facts to even discuss it intelligently right now

After reading the last few pages, it seems like this board is getting closer and closer to being willingly to really have an honest conversation about the driver of the uber car and investigate the details of the accident now.
Okay. What do you want done to the driver? Public caning? 20 years in jail? Execution?
Is he supposed to be held criminally liable for hitting a person in the middle of the road?
4 shitbirds and a rape victim, all of who were drunk, and you want to go after the one guy who was just trying to work and earn a living.
