Hopefully, you have property damage insurance as part of your auto insurance and that will cover at least some of the damage. Very likely the apartment complex has insurance to cover that, so the complex probably won't go after you, but the insurance company might to recoup their costs. If you can show you have nothing though, they probably will threaten to sue you but won't actually do it because it is not worth it trying to squeeze blood out of a turnip.

~~you break it you buy it ... of course they can sue you... they don't need the criminal charges for the civil charges to stick. you should not have been drinking and driving and they shouldn't have to sue you, you should volunteer to pay for the damages because you were wrong to get behind the wheel of the car after drinking. you are fortunate that you didn't kill someone... then your tuchas would be sitting in prison. drunk driving is one of the stupidest things people can do, and the cops that didn't arrest you should loose their jobs for not doing their job. be thankful i wasn't the cop on the scene or you would never have another chance for a drivers licence... i have lost friends and family members to drunk drivers and i have no sympathy for the drunk driver. how could you be so selfish as to not only put your life on the line but the lives of others as well?~~

Absolutely. You are responsible for repairing the damage, irrespective of whether you were drunk at the time. Your insurance company might cover the loss. However, given that you were drunk, you might well be better off simply settling the bill yourself. As you can imagine, insurance companies do not like people who cause damage while driving drunk -- they tend to charge very large premiums to such folks.
The only thing you have going for you is that the building owners can only sue you for compensatory damages. (In other words, for nothing other than the repair costs.)

You are responsible for your actions whether you are drunk, sober, or even just buzzed. At some point you chose to start drinking while you were sober, so anything you do while under the influence stems from that first decision. This how the law views your actions when you're intoxicated. So, YES YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGES!

i'm notably certain that the answer is not any. yet when no longer, the answer should be no. It sucks that it surpassed off, yet why ought to you consider someone who #a million had no administration over the problem and #2 had no section in it, in simple terms because it became on their belongings. i'd ought to say that you're literally not a very solid man or woman for thinking this and also you extra constructive desire i'm no longer on the jury in case you do can and do sue, because i'd say no longer accountable about halfway by the first sentence. Welcome to u . s . a . of america i wager. Sh** takes position, it sucks. manage it. you are able to sue who hit your automobile in the experience that they locate them and get the $500 you're entitled to. this is the in basic terms difficulty you ought to be able to do.

Yes, duh! If I were the apartment complex I would take you to court because they will most likely force you to pay more then just damages since you were drunk and they have a police report to prove it. Then they will get more money and you will most likely have to go to AA classes too. Will serve you right for doing something as stupid as drinking and driving.
