It's because of some RIDICULOUS "vicarious liability" laws that allow you to sue the owner of the vehicle as opposed to the operator. These laws came about in the early 20th century when the only people that owned cars were wealthy and had drivers. As you can guess, the drivers weren't wealthy themselves so it allowed the injured to sue the ones with money.
You'd think after all these years, they'd take these laws off the books. But in the "land of steady habits" (CT), apathy rules supreme.
