Push comes to shove there's a good online community https://reddit.com/r/legaladvice
In the least you'll get people who will tell you if you need a lawyer or not and possible outcomes to your situation.

This is very serious. I just wanted to give you a link to go talk to the legal community to perhaps ease your mind. It’s free legal advice. She’s not on your insurance. That’s why I never allowed my daughter to drive my car. Even though she was angry about it. Did the stepdaughter have a drivers license and if so, is it current? @Mindful

WE Thought she was insured. Either way, in Texas the car has insurance assigned to it

Was the accident her fault, or was the other party responsible? If it wasn't her fault, then I wouldn't hold her financially responsible, but would pursue the other party. If the accident was her fault, at minimum I would request that she pay the deductible on your claim.

@Mindful I'd ask for her to pay the deductible, and see what this does to your premiums. I would not be emotional about it, since it's a car, and accidents happen. However, part of being an adult is taking responsibility for actions, and that includes financial repayment when there has been a wrong. I would just be matter-of-fact, and explain that this puts a dent in your wallet, which was not a family expense, so she needs to work out a payment plan with you, once all the costs have been tallied.
Hope 1st accident and you have 'accident forgiveness'. Did she have permission?

Start with the "Thank goodness you were not hurt" line, to let her know she is a priority. That sets the tone for the rest of the conversation. If you dont go in guns blazing there is a chance she wont get defensive and a rational deal can be struck.
