Legal Question in Family Law in California

Financial Responsibility

If both parents have 50/50 parenting, both legal and physical and a child has a car accident and is not covered by insurance while driving the other parents vehicle, are both parents liable for any public and/ or private financial damage. My step sons mother says our 16 year old is covered on her car insurance while driving on his permit. We have not way of verifying this. If he was to have an accident an he is not covered on her insurance, can my husband or us be sued?
