If you wreck your car and are convicted of DUI will the insurance company repair car?

In general, if you are convicted of DUI and your car is damaged as a result, the insurance company will not repair the car. Most auto insurance policies exclude coverage for damages resulting from driving while intoxicated or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. This means that if you cause an accident while under the influence, you will be responsible for paying for the damages to your own car as well as the damages caused to other people's property.

However, there may be some exceptions to this rule. For example, some states have laws that require insurance companies to provide coverage for DUI-related accidents, regardless of who is at fault. In addition, some insurance companies may offer optional coverage that will cover damages caused by DUI. If you are unsure whether your insurance policy covers DUI-related accidents, it is important to contact your insurance company and ask.

It is also important to note that even if your insurance company does not cover the damages to your car, you may still be able to recover damages from the other driver involved in the accident. If the other driver was at fault for the accident, you may be able to file a claim with their insurance company to recover the costs of repairing your car.
