Here are some statistics on DUI from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety:

  • There are around 159 million self-reported incidents of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs (DUI) each year
  • Of those, less than 1 percent or just over 1.4 million drivers are actually arrested for DUI
  • 32 people die every day in an alcohol-related motor vehicle accident
  • Every 45 minutes, one person is killed by an alcohol-impaired driver
  • Alcohol-related crashes costs more than $51 billion annually

What if someone else get a DUI under my auto insurance?

If they were the permissive driver of your vehicle in an accident (and got the dui), your policy will be paying for the damages (subject to any policy exclusions, and assuming the drunk was at fault) Insurance stays with the vehicle. So any rate increase that this accident generates will be on your policy, as well (of course) as your collison deductible. If you are asking what happens if they were just driving your vehicle and got a dui, no accident or loss. I doubt anything will happen. You might want to rethink who you let drive your vehicle though.

Can you get insurance to cover you at work if you have a DUI?

It is not easy to qualify for disability insurance if you have a recent DUI. The logic behind this is that you are at greater risk of suffering a disability if you are injured in a car accident and you are more likely to have a car accident if you have a history of DUI. If you are asking about whether or not your employer's auto liability insurance will cover you, then the answer is "probably not" if your DUI is recent (3 years or less).
