The answer is maybe, but likely the attorney will sue everyone.  Is the adult child living in the same household?  Then you could be sued as well if the state of Missouri permits "stacking" of insurance policies - where there are multiple policies in one household and the injuries surpass the promary insurance policy limits.  If you are anmed the insurance company will hire an attorney to represent you pursuant to the policy. If there is no reason for you to be in the suit then your attorney will make a motion to dismiss.  Good luck.
