Normally if your auto insurance was in force at the time of the accident, even with being arrested for a DUI your insurance policy would cover you for the wreck. However if your policy has specific exclusions in it pertaining to a situation such as this, then the insurance company may be able to deny your claims.

To find out for certain if you would be covered for wrecking your vehicle while driving under the influence, contact your insurance agent and read through the terms of your car insurance policy. If you are covered then it will likely be your collision coverage that a claim will be placed for the damages your vehicle sustained. This also means a deductible would apply.
