Your son can be sued for negligence and possible violations of the traffic code.
You can be sued for negligent entrustment if you gave him your vehicle.
You were not specific as to age of child etc.
Please get a second opinion form another attorney.

If your unlicensed son was driving your car with no insurance and hit a golf cart, then yes you and your son can be sued. You should discuss this with an attorney right away, especially if anyone was injured.
