Because Mary is the mother of Jesus, and Jesus is God. We don't worship her, we just talk to her and ask her to ask Jesus to help us.
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Blessed Virgin Mary was given to each of us as our mother when Jesus, on the Cross, gave her to each of us in his disciple, John. She is the mediatrix of grace. Jesus is the Mediator of all grace, and only He is our savior. But God has decreed that each of us is to be a mediator in our own way, for instance when we pray for a family member in trouble. Mary is mother of Our Blessed Lord, and mother of the Church, so in a very real way, we turn to her and ask her intercession as she is the first intercessor after Jesus. This is most clearly prefigured in the Old Testament, in the Queen Mother, who was mother of the King and would intercede with the King.The Hail Mary is the primary prayer given to us to ask her intercession.
