Can a broken CV axle damage your hub assembly?

Last week the CV axle on my 1995 Toyota Camry broke. I was just curious as to if when the CV axle fails can it damage ththe hub assembly? Just want to know how much money I'm looking to spend considering if you replace one side you should replace the other side as well

What do you mean "broke"? Most likely there won't be any ancillary damage.

And no, it's not worthwhile to replace the other side if it doesn't need to be.

It would depend on where it broke...? If it were out at the "wheel/hub" assembly then yes it can cause an issue but until you take it apart and inspect it then there is no way to know... It might affect the bearing but should be about it if anything... Also yes it can at the transmission as well but doubt it... I would inspect the other side to check its condition before replacement...

If it was worn down enough to be banging around (frequent clicking noise) then yes that will wear the hub bearings faster, but it's not going to ruin the hub right away, not a "rush" to avoid further damage scenario.

You don't necessarily need to replace the other side at the same time, BUT we're talking about a 24 year old vehicle. Odds are that the other side also has significant wear so I would seriously consider replacing the other side too if you get a fair price break on labor to do them both at the same time.

Similarly, unless replaced with high quality parts already, your hubs are at the age where failure shouldn't be a surprise regardless of whether you had a CV axle failure. You should definitely get a labor break on putting a new hub on the same side that you're getting the CV axle done on, though on most vehicles it is a little more labor to take a few bolts off ($10? Nothing is that cheap lol).

Problem is, if you are not DIY the labor, you could be taken to the cleaners for the parts costs at a shop (especially a dealership!!) so if not DIY I would only replace what is obviously failed.

They can test the hub for play, and you can observe whether the wheel spins freely yet tightly, no excessive play, no grinding or squealing sounds particularly when changing directions (minus whatever sound the CV was making). You can check most of that by merely jacking the wheel up and grabbing the tire with your hands to manipulate it, though (again at this age of vehicle) don't mistake ball joint or tie rod wear for hub wear.

Ultimately if this is DIY, the vehicle has some lifespan (miles and low rust) left, I would go ahead and replace both CV axles and hubs. Either way if you DIY, make sure you tighten the axle nuts to the correct torque spec, with weight on the wheel at final torque.
