More details to this question:
My friend Jarrod called and invited me over. When I got there another guy named Jason was also at his house. I was only at Jarrods' house maybe 10 min when me and Jason stepped out in the back yard to smoke a cigarette. Another guy named Jonny came running around the side of the house and sucker punched me and beat me. I have 2 eye socket fractures and have to get a 25,000 surgery. Jonny is already on parole and charges are pressed and pending a court date. He has no money and is over the age of 18. I want to sue for the cost of the surgery and loss wages ect. Can I sue jarrods parents? Home Owners insurance? I need representation.

consult with a lawyer, the legal issues are tricky, like your status as a guest, jonny's status as a guest, was it an unanticipated criminal episode, did jarrod or his parents know jonny was drunk or violent. the homeowner's policy needs to be read, etc.

you can sue. The cost may be the main factor.
