I made a big mistake and drove home drunk last night. I was driving my car and I had one passenger in the car with me. I don’t know how it happen but my car drove over a big curve and it was not drivable. Someone came and called the cops and ambulance came. Me and friend both were carried out by ambulance and went to the hospital. I signed a paper to do blood test for alcohol level. My friend was hurt and had to get some stitch on his head. I stayed over night at the hospital and me and my friend were released. Cops gave me 4 tickets for
- Driving while impaired by Alcohol
- Driving under influence of Alcohol
- Driving under influence of Alcohol Per Se
- Failure to control speed to avoid collision
also the document that I signed for blood test.

I am also in military and I am about to deploy in Aug. My friend just came back from Iraq also in buy prescription drugs military. Would that help in any case?

I have USAA auto insurance but I couldn’t find their policy on their website.

Do I need a lawyer?
Will my insurance cover for the car?
It is my first accident or any traffic violation while under influence.
I need some advice.
