Generally, the only way you can be held liable for an accident is if you were in some way at fault. In other words, in the scenario you gave, you would have had to have done something you shouldn't have done, or failed to do something that you should have done. Just having your adult son live in your home, or letting him drive your car, doesn't make you liable.
