Am I responsible for stepdaughter’s ER bill

Several years ago my stepdaughter had a suspected broken arm. Her dad was at work and said he couldn’t leave, so I took her to the ER. I signed what I believed was consent to treat her. However, all of those bills have come to me and are now in collection. She had no medical insurance. This is where it gets tricky. Her dad did not have legal custody of her…only a verbal arrangement with child’s mom for child to live with us. Mom lived out of state. As this child lived in my house and I was the only adult able to take her to be treated for her injury, I did so. Since I did this and signed whatever papers the hospital shoved in front of me, am I legally responsible for this bill? This all occurred in Florida.
