He’s suing everyone under the sun including the Uber driver who has zero culpability. Wasn’t very involved with her life. Seems like a great guy.
Explains a lot really.

The original thread on this was quite interesting. By the 5th page, everyone was under the impression that she was kidnapped, rapped by all 3 guys, then dumped in the middle of the road where a car ran over her after she got pushed out of the car.
The truth is she was drinking and hanging on them all night. Willfully left the bar with them (forgetting her phone). Had sex. Then when they tried to take her home she couldn’t explain it to them. And she asked to get out and they let her (otherwise it would actually be kidnapping).
Are these good guys? I don’t believe so. Did they force her into anything? That doesn’t seem to be the case either.

Unfortunately, the dad more or less had to sue the ride-share driver.
Posters that are members of the Louisiana Bar can better speak to the specifics of third-party practice in Louisiana, but the dad's attorney was just getting ahead of what the defense attorneys would do: claim that the ride-share driver caused/contributed to her death and should be assigned a portion of the liability at trial. This could potentially decrease any judgment obtained if the jury panel apportions a percentage of liability to the ride-share driver, or worst-case scenario, decides that its all the ride-share driver's fault.
By preempting the defense, dad's lawyer can attempt to settle with the ride share's defense counsel/commercial insurance carrier, who would be glad to get a potential catastrophic claim off the books. Upon settling, they can figure out how to dismiss the ride share driver/company in a way that is least beneficial to the other defendants.
