This happens because some idiot reporter saw a Statement of Claim that had been filed and reports it, as if it's supposed to be taken at face value. I have sued a 12-year old kid on behalf of a client myself.
You sue whoever you have to sue to trigger the appropriate insurance coverage, and you never want to leave anyone out because if it turns out that the person you left out was responsible, you are going to get sued yourself...
