attorney fee coverage in criminal suits

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? AZ

If I were charged for vehicular manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter, negligent homicide or vehicular homicide, (criminal charges) would my car insurance company pay for my attorney fees included in my car insurance?

Almost certainly not. No insurance, of any sort, covers intentional, criminal acts.

It doesn't matter. Insurance covers your defense in CIVIL actions related to car accidents. For criminal charges, you need a criminal attorney, and thanks to our constitution, if you can't afford one, you can get one for free.
