What to do if my child was at a friend’s house where the parents were allowing alcohol and later that night my child was burned when trying to light a bonfire with gasoline?

The parents had gone to bed. No one called 911 but was driven to the ER and later transferred to a burn center. I have great health insurance. Will my insurance cover it or would the home owners insurance?

The parents may be vulnerable to criminal and/or civil consequences.  I suggest you contact a local attorney familiar with personal injury law to evaluate the facts of your situation and see if you have a claim.  Health insurance would be the proper insurance.
