Lortab (acetaminophen and hydrocodone) poses a dual danger. Hydrocodone is addictive and acetaminophen used over a period of time or excessive dosage can cause liver damage. The latter is probably more worrisome than the former.

Hopefully the prescribing physician is aware of both factors and will limit by removing your father from the the drug at the appropriate time. Liver function tests are recommended when this drug is used across a period of time.

You noted that he takes about 8 per day. Is that consistent with the prescribed dosage?
