Not always. Being charged once or twice would not be viewed as mentally ill, but a large amount of DUI charges may be viewed as mentally ill, depending on the case.but then again it depends on your definition of mentally ill.
No, but if involved in an accident, even when not at fault, the drunk driver would still be guilty of, and could be charged with, DUI.
A drunk driving case is typically a criminal case, as it involves violating laws related to operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs. However, there can also be civil implications if the intoxicated driving results in harm or damages to another party.
depends--> Thanks for a swift answer, but a bit more of an in depth explanation would be more helpful.

No, your claim for injury relates to the injury you have suffered. However a drunk driver has broken the law and therefore would normally be subject to punishment by the state - this is a separate issue.
You can file a claim with your insurance company. You can also get a lawyer and file a lawsuit against the drunk driver.
yes because if he/she is drunk and crashes into you that is considered illegal
The same thing that anyone would be entitled to if hit by a sober driver: repair or total loss settlement of the vehicle; possible medical coverage if your state doesn't require you to have your own auto medical coverage; and possibly a bodily injury claim if the person sitting at the light was injured. The "drunk driver" part could come into play if, say, the bodily injury portion of the claim went to trial. A sympathetic jury or judge might say the drunk driver's condition at the time of the loss would increase the value of a bodily injury claim. Still, the drunk driver's insurance carrier would only pay the value of the bodily injury claim, which doesn't include punitive damages found against the drunk driver.
