Sounds like an accepted legal maneuver in order to compensate the family of the deceased. 

...According to a summary filed in court on March 1, the court has ordered the Rochester Hills Chrysler Jeep Dodge dealership, where the incident occurred, to indemnify Diaz-Navarro if he is found liable of negligence.
"So in reality, the owner is going to be held responsible, but the dealership’s insurance company is paying," Femminineo told McClatchy News. He said he hopes a verdict in excess of $15 million is awarded.

So the moral of the story is if you’re gonna do damage with a car, borrow someone else’s car first!
