My son had an accident while driving and charged with driving a motorcar while heavily intoxicated. The legal costs and fines involved will be significant. Will our motorist legal insurance or personal legal insurance cover the costs?

Hi there,

Legal insurance generally does not cover costs when crimes are deliberately perpetrated. This includes legal expenses resulting from driving under the influence.

Best regards from Moneyguru
