The accident has nothing to do with the DUI.
He'll be charged and prosecuted for it.
The accident liability is the same whether he was DUI or not. The car owner's insurance may be stuck paying.

It depends on your state! Most states will find the driver liable for the accident and they will be responsible for the damages and injuries caused by the accident. They will also be more likely to serve some type of jail term since their negligence caused a accident when they were violating the law.

If the twist of destiny replace into at-fault, they might desire to nonetheless furnish coverage. criminal accountability covers the different occasion's automobile harm and actual harm up to your limits once you're chosen because of the fact the at-fault occasion. yet, be arranged for State Farm to non-renew your coverage. SF does not proceed policies with convictions which contain DUI and DWI. while they circulate off your checklist (that's going to count huge variety for 5 years), you could attempt to qualify to get lower back. you will might desire to circulate your coverage to a non-huge-unfold organization which contain present day.

Well after his criminal trial and the resulting fine, jail time, license suspension and probation, there is the CIVIL trial. This is where he gets sued for everything he owns. In short, he is screwed and rightfully so. Should have called a cab.

In Missouri, he would be facing one count of Felony Assault for every person injured in the accident. Be glad he didn't kill someone and get ready for hefty legal fees, fines, and probably some jail time.

Probably lose his license, pay large fines, do some jail time. If someone was killed, he could be charged with it and do serious jail time....Your friend is in a heap of trouble

In Texas, your butt is in a boat load of trouble. Jail time, heavy fine, court date, personal liability if injury is involved...and if underage.... even heavier penalties. If he's in the Lone Star State, he needs a good lawyer.

Lose his license for sure. Tons of fines and court costs. First time? that may be all. Second time - jail.
