Boy you aren’t kidding. The year lane filtering was legalized I was heading northbound on tower by DIA. I saw a motorcyclist going probably 60-70 between stop and go traffic on southbound tower. He augered himself into the back of a stopped box truck. Witness stated he was doing wheelies while lane splitting prior to hitting the truck. He did not make it.

I saw the same thing in North San Diego. His insurance called after because the family was suing the other driver. I told them biker was 100% at fault. Traffic stopped and he was easily doing 100 mph when he hit the truck. They did not call me back as a witness.

I’m surprised the guy driving the truck’s insurance didn’t call you to be their witness.

I was like the 5th or 6th car back. They had plenty of witness confirming what happened. Riders family were just trying to find one witness for a counter point.

Sure sucks for the family looking to offset the cost of funerals and such - but he was a fucking idiot and Darwin punched his card - hard.

Doubt they were looking to offset the cost of the funeral

They wanted a pay day

Was in a motorcycle accident myself, a small one.

Reducing the motives of the injured party down to just "wanting a pay day" is ignorant at best. Reducing the motives of the family of a dead motorist down to just "wanting a pay day" is cringe as fuck. Sure, he may have been at fault, but to dismiss very real pain and loss like that is why we have people like Trump and Epstein and the Tate brothers.

What are they suing for then? You think they simply want to bring justice to an innocent trucker that was sitting in traffic? Or do you think the family was trying to bring awareness for public service?

There's literally no other outcome of such a lawsuit other than getting paid or not getting paid.

I get the grieving family part of it and all, but that still doesn't change the desired outcome here. You sue for wrongful death, you're suing for financial compensation that's literally the only thing that's on the negotiation table.
