I'm sorry, I'm not following your question.  I think you're asking if the drugs in your system would be considered a "malfunction" of the vehicle and that is why you had the accident(?)  If the accident was not your fault, then you have nothing to worry about in terms of responsibility.  If you had drugs in your system and you were arrested or cited for driving under the influence, that's a criminal matter in most states.
