Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

My son's girlfriend was thrown out of her home last Thursday. She turns 18 on 3/2/11. Last year her parents sued for an auto accident on her behalf and received a settlement in January of this year. Is she entitled to this money, and what steps should she take now. Poor thing is just kind of lost and doesn't know what to do. Any help would be appreciated.

Depending on the nature and amount of the damages paid, they should be available to her now she has reached legal age. Any payments to her parents should have been as "next friend and guardian" for her. Some damages may have been payable to her parents in their own right.
