Under Georgia law, a person who is operating a vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol is guilty of a violation of O.C.G.A. Sec. 40-6-391. In most cases it will be presumed that the person who was DUI was also At Fault for the accident. However this is a presumption that could be challenged under certain facts. For example, suppose a drunk person is stopped in traffic and they are rear ended by a non-drunk person. In such a case the drunk person would probably be charged with DUI and the non-drunk person would be charged with being at fault for the accident.
Added; Answering the question as it is literally written - it is not enough to "know" that a person is DUI, it must always be PROVEN that the person was DUI in order to sustain the charge.

How can you find someone's auto insurance policy?
You can't unless they tell you who they are insured with. Who a person is insured with or even if they have insurance is a private matter between the insured and the insurance company. Now, if there is an accident and the police come to the scene they will collect that information and put it in the accident report. This is why it is crucial to always call the police to the scene of the accident no matter how much the other person begs to give them a break. Always, always!!! call the police to the scene of an accident. The exception is if the accident is on private property.
