It is possible that you could be sued and be responsible (liable) if your son causes an accident depending on the exact circumstances of his accident and whether you personally did anything wrong, such as giving him the keys to the vehicle when you knew he was intoxicated. Your question has a lot of different scenarios in which you could be held responsible to discuss them all. If you wanted to protect yourself from any liability for an accident caused by your son then you should remove your name from the title. If your son is the sole owner of the vehicle and causes an accident then, unless you personally did something wrong, could not be sued or held liable for any accident he causes.

Yes, I believe the department store would be liable to pay your medical bills. These are difficult cases, but if you can show that they had notice of the problem, and had an opportunity to fix it or warn you, and they didnt, then they should be held liable. In addition to your medical bills, you may be entitled to money for pain and suffering and lost wages if any.
