Could My Roommates And I Be Held Liable For Somebody Leaving Our House Drunk And Crashing Despite The Fact I Was Asleep?

Location: Connecticut

Basically long story short I am on a lease with four other girls. One of the girls had her boyfriend over and two of his friends over (all the guys are 21). I’m not really friendly with them but they’re nice guys and I was bored so I joined them for some drinks while we played games.

I was the first one to leave to go to bed at around 2am. My other roommate went upstairs with her bf but left blankets and stuff for the other two guys to crash on our couch.

Well I guess one of the guys decided he didn’t want to spend the night. At around 4am he drove off and at around 5 he flipped his car by hitting a phone pole. He broke his neck, had to get surgery and is now in a coma.

I feel terrible. Had I been awake I would’ve never let him drive home. I don’t want this to come across as insensitive or anything because I really do feel terrible, but could he come after any of us legally??? I seriously don’t think he would but you never know. None of us provided the alcohol or anything and all of the roommates in the house were asleep when he left but I’m worried we will be held liable. I also am afraid that they will come after our landlord. He is a really nice guy and I would hate to see him in trouble for something he had no knowledge of.

Anyways any and all legal advice would be appreciated.
