[I AM ALWAYS LIABLE]

My response:

Yes, file suit in Small Claims court against the other driver. Make sure you subpoena a mechanic who can testify for you that the only way the other damages could have been caused would be due to the accident.

If your State allows it, you might want to add a request for "punitive damages" to your complaint because the other driver was drunk.
