In general, a spouse is not legally responsible for another spouse's DUI accident unless they were directly involved in the incident or contributed to it in some way. Liability typically falls on the individual who was driving under the influence. However, there may be exceptions based on specific circumstances, such as if the spouse knowingly provided alcohol or encouraged the behavior. Legal outcomes can vary based on jurisdiction and the details of the case.

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).
