Drunk Driver Insurance Claim

Summary

In Arizona, if a driver not listed on the insurance policy causes an accident while intoxicated, the insurance company may still be obligated to cover the damages under certain circumstances. Typically, the insurance follows the vehicle, not the driver. Arizona is an at-fault state, meaning the party at fault is responsible for the damages. Drunk driving is a criminal act, which could complicate the insurance claim. The vehicle owner might still have some liability. Consulting a local attorney would be wise to explore all avenues for compensation.
