It would be advisable to speak with a personal injury attorney.The driver's auto insurance carrier might deny liability because the driver was drunk which the auto insurance company would construe as an intentional rather than a negligent act.  If that is the case, you would have to sue the driver for your daughter's injuries.  It would be premature to file a lawsuit until your daughter completes her medical treatment and is released by the doctor or is declared by the doctor to be permanent and stationary which means she has reached a point where no further improvement is anticipated.  If you were to file the lawsuit prior to completion of medical treatment, you would not have the total bills.  You should obtain the medical bills and the medical reports.  Compensation for the medical bills is straight reimbursement.  The medical reports will document the nature and extent of your daughter's injuries and will be used to determine compensation for pain and suffering.  Compensation for pain and suffering is an amount in addition to the medical bills.  I assume your daughter is a minor.  If that is the case, you will need to be appointed guardian ad litem to sue on her behalf because a minor cannot file a lawsuit.  You will need to file the lawsuit against the other driver prior to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations or your daughter will lose her rights in the matter forever.
