Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida

Minors involved in auto accidents in the State of Florida

Can the parents be sued if their 18 year old daughter was involved in an auto accident? More specifically, can my assets (bank accounts) get pulled in to a lawsuit if my 18 year old daughter gets in to an accident in the state of Florida.
