Step one: Look. Compare the side that hit the curb to the other side. Anything bent, broken, out of place? If so, get it fixed. If not go to step two.
Step two: Drive the car. Is it okay, not shaking or pulling one way or the other? If so, get it fixed. If not, you're probably okay.

Take it for a test drive yourself. Find an empty street with less traffics, I suggest around your neighborhood. Speed it up to 25-30mph ( that's a legal speed in residential area anyway ) then loose the steering ( meaning loosing grip from the steering but with your fingers still wrap around the steering coluum not completely let go the steering ). If the car steer straigth then its OK but if it wandering to an opposite direction then its out of alignment, just have it re-alignment then it should be fine. Good luck.

its fine, cars are meant to be tough. hitting a curb is nothing. If anything at all is wrong with it now you would already have found out because the only thing i could think of having happen from hitting a curb is if she hit it real fast and blew out her tire. relax, ask another question when she t-bones a school bus.

Most the time its fine unless it happens at speed. If the car doesn't pull when driving and if check to see if it pulls when you break hard, if it does the alignment is off.

Check for sidewall damage on the tire. (small cuts, or pinched rubber)
Other than that it should be jus fine.
You failed to mention what year, make, and model.
