Yes, she can sue you for her deductible and her insurance carrier can go after you for the rest of the money they pay out. I doubt very much that the police refused to take any statements from your witnesses because of a lawsuit [especially because they would be admitting the do discriminate]; they really do not care who wins in a civil suit against another motorist. You first need to find out what the insurance company plans to do. Try to point out to them that the physical facts show you were not at fault; do not give a statement about any facts harmful to you. They might actually be waiting for you to make a medical bill claim for your daughter's injuries.Once you know what their position is, try seeing a couple of local attorneys for a no charge consultation and advise [I doubt any will want to handle the case]. Then you can post a new question on this site.
