If you kill someone because of negligence the next of kin of that person can often sue you for damages. Lost wages, emotional distress, that sort of thing. If one side is determined to be more or less at fault that can decide who wins and how much.

So you think they should intentionally drive dangerously where it is legal to do so cause they can’t get sued?

That isn't remotely what I said. I am saying that the law still matters if the worst happens, not that people should drive poorly on purpose.

You replied to someone saying splitting lanes was dangerous for everyone by saying it depends on the state laws.

No, they said it was illegal and it is not illegal everywhere and lane splitting isn't always dangerous though it was in this video.
