Legal Question in Insurance Law in Texas

Dog bite question
A family came over to pick out a puppy I was giving away. This family wanted a dog that would be a guard dog, and I told them that the mom and her brother were great guard dogs and I felt like the puppies would be also. When I picked up one of the puppies it started yelping. My son's dog nipped a the daughter and took about a dime size piece of skin off her thigh. They took her to the hospital and she got 2 stiches. I went to the hospital and was with them the entire time until she was discharged about two hours later. The daughter said she still wanted a puppy but the mom said no. I called my insurance immediately and opened a claim. My insurance contacted them to get information. I found out today (from the mom) that they had no intentions of collecting any costs from us and had paid out of pocket what their insurance didn't pay. This is no longer true now that they know I have insurance. Now they see there is money available their attitude has totally changed. What can I expect to happen from here? The adjuster has submitted their report, but insurance hasn't received it yet.
