Legal Question in Personal Injury in Virginia

vehicle accident medical liability

my 24 yoa son was involved in a car accident when he had a suspended license. he was living at my home at the time. he had no car insurance. he pleaded guilty to driving the car and for leaving scene of accident and a first offense dwi. he did this instead of going before a jury and facing two felony charges. now the injured party has contacted him about his insurance for the considerable medical bills that were incurred by the owner of the vehicle (who was drunk at the time of the accident and why my son who was ''less drunk'' was driving the car). My son responded to the injured party insurance company that he has no insurance. the week later my wife and i received the same form saying we were liable for the medical damages because my son was living at our home and we incurred his expenses. is this true? we have never allowed our son to drive our vehicle when his license was suspended. he has been in/out of our home for the last 4 years and just happened to be at home when this incident occured. are my wife and i liable here?
