Most insurance companies pay a claim based on your coverages, not on whether or not you got a DWI charge. I have only seen one company that was for religious clients and non-drinkers that had their clients sign a pledge not to drink and had penalties if you were charged for DUI or DWI.

Does insurance cover a car totaled in a wreck involving a DWI?
If you had collision insurance on the car at the time of the accident that should cover the value of the vehicle. Even if you were drunk you were still at fault and probably didn't crash your car on purpose.

In order to drive your vehicle, it must have valid insurance. Otherwise, you're in violation of the law.
My friend was driving my car and got a DWI when she asked what insurance it would affect the officer said it would affect the car owner's insurance and not hers' the driver's Is this true?
No. Driving records follow the driver, not the car. Unless your friend is listed as a driver on your insurance then your insurance company is never going to find out about this/isn't even concerned with this.
If your friend received a DWI in your vehicle will that affect the rates on your insurance?
I work at an Insurance Agency in Michigan, and I know in this state you're insurance would NOT go up. Insurance goes by a person's own record to determine their insurance premium on their own vehicle. If the person with DWI gets insurance, it will show on their record, which would make their insurance higher. It may not show up on your record but it sure speaks volumes about your level of stupidity, to allow a person to drive YOUR car while drunk. What if that person had KILLED somebody, with YOUR CAR? In that case, your insurance company would drop you like a slimy dead fish, and you would be ON YOUR OWN. No insurance coverage, and if you were to be convicted in a civil trial, you could be working for the REST OF YOUR LIFE to pay off the trial jury's award to the dead person's kin. MILLIONS of dollars, and you would own all of the debt. You would never be able to own a house, and your kids would own the debts after you die.

Women usually pay less for car insurance because of the higher DUI or DWI rates men have over women. Another reason is that women are less likely to pay a moving violation fee.

No.
Should insurance companies cover car accidents in the case of DWIs?
That's a personal opinion but the person who is driving under the influence, not not at all that person's insurance shouldn't have to pay for it. If there was a victim involved, that other person's insurance company should pay the victim and maybe arrange for the person with the DWI to pay them back, or if so the person who did the DWI pays the victim.
