Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
The driver
The owner
They're going to sue both but, in the case of a high school kid, they don't have anything, so the owner(parent) is going to get sued and have to pay... alot.
In Colorado, insurance follows the car, not the driver. That's why you have "rated drivers" on your policy. Gives the insurance company an out if someone "unrated" is commonly driving the car.
My guess is both, and they see where the chips fall.

The reality is that the lawyers are going to go after both parties in an effort to make sure their clients get the best possible deal.
Looks like I agree with most everyone else - both parties would typically be sued: The driver for negligent/careless behavior; The owner for ANY safety/hazardous condition the plaintiff's attorney could claim for the auto.
PhLOater - did you play pro ball somewhere?
