Can you be charged with DUI when you actually had a seizure that caused an accident?

If this was the truth and a seizure caused you to have an accident then you probably would never have been charged with DUI in the first place. If you had truly not been drinking you should have requested a blood test which was probably done anyway and it would have proved you were not drinking.
The bigger issue here is that if you are prone to having seizures you normally would have had your drivers license taken away from you for medical reasons. Those with seizure causing conditions normally are not allowed to have a license.

I would think that if the person doing the assualting got killed, and he was the cause of the accident (by assaulting the driver, and thus possibly causing the seizure), that there would be no indication of vehicular homicide, unless the driver was already stated that he/she was unable to drive due to seizures.

Yes, If the accident was your fault, then it is your fault. Whether or not they have insurance has nothing to do with who's at fault, or who actually caused the accident.

Absolutely, the fact that you are cited or not cited will not apply. The insurance company will determine your fault. For example, an accident caused on private property doesn't fall under police jurisdiction but you still caused it so your company would raise your rates.
