Are children entitled to money if their parent is injured?

It depends.  Florida negligence law states that a person who, because of negligence (carelessness) causes significant permanent injury to the natural or adoptive parent of an unmarried dependent resulting in permanent total disability shall be liable to the defendant for damages, including damages for permanent loss of services, comfort, companionship and society. 

The permanent disability is a very high threshold and thus it is generally, though not impossible, difficult for children to recover money for their parent's injury absent very horrific injury.  The law (statute) can be seen in Florida Statutes (Title XLV - Torts Chapter 768 Negligence 768.0415 Liability for injury to parent).
