 At what point can no one else be responsible for you?

say there is a fight and one party gets to the point of being in the hospital. The other party is arrested for it and sued for hospital bills/paint and suffering or whatever they could be sued for in that situation.
If the party being sued is 18 does all the responsibility and debt of the lawsuit get put all on them, or can they go after their parents still? What about if the 18 year old is still living with them and is still considered a dependent?
Im just trying to make sure that my own actions cant end up fucking over anyone else basically.

At 18, the person is a legal adult and can be held liable in civil lawsuits. If living in their parents home, and the cause of the lawsuit happened in the parents home, then the lawsuit could be extended to the parents as well. (This doesn't mean that the courts will find the parents liable.)

Aditionaly, in some states your not emancipated for some purposes until you graduate or drop out of highschool and are 18, so it really depends where you are.
I don't know if in these states the parent is still liable for a 18+ highschool atendee, but that's kinda why you should tell us where this situation occurs and what the situation is- like seuss asks.

im 18 and still in highschool so living with my parents.
someone is about to get seriously fucked up over some money. It'll all happen away from my home.
Im just not trying to have my parents stuck with a huge financial lawsuit from something that i did if that somehow came from it. If they want to put me in debt for along time so be it but i wont let my parents get in trouble for something that i do

Money isn't so valuable that its a good idea to get violent over it.
