If I own an LLC that has been in operation for almost 10 years and I buy my son a car but he gets into some type of accident, is the LLC protected from being named in a suit?

If I own an LLC that has been in operation for almost 10 years and I buy my son a car but he gets into some type of accident, is the LLC protected from being named in a suit?

I am looking at personally purchasing a car that my son will be driving. Again the car will be purchased personally and not through the LLC and will be driven for his benefit and not used for any company benefit.
