Could I be sued and be held liable if my son (24 years old) gets in an accident and my name is on the title?

Yes.

It is possible that you could be sued and be responsible (liable) if your son causes an accident depending on the exact circumstances of his accident and whether you personally did anything wrong, such as giving him the keys to the vehicle when you knew he was intoxicated. Your question has a lot of different scenarios in which you could be held responsible to discuss them all. If you wanted to protect yourself from any liability for an accident caused by your son then you should remove your name from the title. If your son is the sole owner of the vehicle and causes an accident then, unless you personally did something wrong, could not be sued or held liable for any accident he causes.

The owner and driver are liable for use of the car.

Yes, for a number of reasons.

Yes, in California the registered owner is liable for injuries caused by a driver who has permission to use the car. However, if you are the owner of the car, you must have insurance on the car. As an owner, your liability is limited to $15,000 for one person injured and a total of $30,000 for 2 or more injured persons.

The injured party could try to sue you for negligent entrustment of the vehicle; however, these claims are frequently difficult to prove. If you have insurance on the vehicle, you may want to notify the insurance carrier of the accident just in case there is coverage to protect you.

The owner of a motor vehicle is responsible for the vehicle. If your son is driving your vehicle, you are liable for any damages that he might cause.

As the owner of the vehicle there might be two theories of liability against you; first permissive use liability which is limited by statute. However, the second theory might prove more troubling for you and that is negligent entrustment. If you knew your son had a bad driving record and was reckless behind the wheel and you had any knowledge he should not have been driving at the time of this incident, you could be held responsible for entrusting the vehicle to him over and above the statutory limits for permissive use.

As an owner you have liability up to $15K unless you have specific information regarding your son's unfitness to drive the vehicle under a negligent entrustment theory. However, assuming you have insurance that would cover any liability you would have.

Yes

As an owner of the vehicle, you are vicariously liable for the negligence of the driver, which means that you would be liable for any injuries that car causes if it's being driven by a driver who has permission to drive it.
