Drink driving claim refused by insurance company

I had insurance and had an accident. I was drink driving but got hit by another car. The insurance company said that I was not insured for drink driving. They won't pay for my car and say I've got to pay for the other driver's car. Can they do this?

Bob,

Insurance companies can refuse to pay out a claim if they think you have not been driving responsibly. They normally insure you on the basis that you are going to respect the Highway Code and drive as safely as possible. In your situation, you were drunk and not fit for driving and this is a solid argument to use against you.

You can however contact a professional motor lawyer to discuss your case and seek assistance as this is more of a legal thing.
