You sure? I thought it was another vehicle that later stopped that rendered cpr.

For sure a civil case. Would Uber be liable for their driver's actions?


It's a car accident in Louisiana. The dead great grandmother of the uber founder's college roommate can have some liability if you get the right lawyer.

Very unlikely. But they have to carry insurance that covers the commercial activity.

I had a light turn green and almost turned into a guy a few months ago just strolling across a major roadway.

I've seen people run across 5-lane major traffic roads in BR during rush hour. It's like Frogger out there.

Don't trust having a green light to just go around this area either. Yellow to a good percentage of our drivers means floor it!

Not exactly. And Louisiana isn’t the worst.

The first question in any plaintiff’s case is whether there is a defendant who can pay. The Uber driver will have some insurance.

You've "looked into all this" and came up with a precise distance measurement related to reaction time.

You are making yourself look silly. No one is taking you seriously. Just stop.

Ok. They saw something that cleared him criminally. That’s all I’m saying. I’d also like to know if the reporter got that right.

someone else posted information a while back and determined with reaction time and braking, roughly 300 ft was needed and that was to come to a complete stop at possible the correct speed of which he should legally have been driving. 300 feet is also the rough minimum distance low beam headlights light up. Speeding in worse conditions make it more negligent.

They determined he didn't appear to be impaired and an investigation into the accident was ongoing.

Hmmm. If true and if she was “standing” in the road, seems like he wouldn’t have been cleared so quickly.

Not arguing your facts. Just saying something doesn’t add up there.

The 1,000 feet to see and at least attempt to avoid or (and we don't know) slam on the brakes seems like a civil lawsuit by Madison's family. Madison (intoxicated and in roadway) would be a % at fault as well but for sure driver has legal responsibility. And there's a policy to pursue.

Now, the bar liability? Serving to under-aged drinker who is raped and later run over. That's another lawsuit.

Regarding Ell, he immediately deleted the comment and apologized.

not sure why you keep saying he's "cleared". That isn't an actual fact you know. I'm not arguing he should be arrested criminally.

Ok. Fair. I thought they made a statement that the driver would not be charged. And I seem to recall that being early on.

Baws, I got some real work to do.

I don't see how that would become public knowledge if there's no criminal liability unless it was voluntarily given by the driver or the app.
