My father is worried that simply because I live with him (in a expensive house) that they can come after HIM & his assets if i hapopened to get in an accident. Is this true?

Anyone can be sued, so technically the answer to your question is yes, your parents can be sued if you get in an accident. However, unless there is some basis for holding your parents liable beyond the fact that you are living iwth them (for example, if they served you alcohol which impaired your driving ability), the suit would likely be dismissed.
