More than likely they will not pay the claim as you violated the terms of the policy by not making them aware of all drivers and household residents. This is called material misrepresentation of the contract. If you don't pay the premium for your son to be on the policy why should the insurance company be liable for an accident with him driving.
Insurance laws differ state to state. The most logical thing to do is to call your agent! Does your son have his own policy? Is he listed on another policy? If the answer to those are no, in MA your answer is no! 4lifeguild
If you gave him permission to use the car (called "Permissive Use") you should be covered. Your insurance rates will likely go up.
No. The car is insured and your son's policy will provide coverage up to its policy limits.
So long as your son has your permission to drive your car, he is covered under your insurance policy. (As long as he has a valid driver's permit or license)
That depends on the insurance that you and the friend have. Your insurance may cover your son in any vehicle. Same as with the friends insurance covering any driver. You just have to call and ask.
As long as your son was on the policy or had permission from the owner of the vehicle to drive it, he should be covered.
Yes, Not only can he be put on the policy with his car but your Insurance Contract probably requires it. Concealment of a known operator or the owner from the Insurance company is a well known form of Insurance Fraud.
The premiums for a comprehensive car insurance policy for your son depend upon many factors. These include the type of car, his driving record, where the car will be located, the distance he needs to commute and other factors.
If it is your carIf the car is registered in your name, you will certainly be included in the lawsuit if the damages exceed the limits of the insurance. AnswerIf your grown son has his own insurance that will cover his car and any other he might be driving,then he is responsible.Now, how old is you grown son?? If he is underage, you are responsible. If he is 18 or older again, he should be held responsible unless he has no insurance other than your policy. Which in that case, you and your insurance is responsible.
Yes, if there was damage to another's car or property so your insurance can cover it.
Yes, your auto insurance will payout to the other party involved in the accident. Your auto policy covers "you" from any financial loses. So in retrospect you wont have to pay the damages you caused to the other veichle. Concerning the party that is not the owner nor on the car owners policy, the car owner's auto policy covers the car and any lawful driver aslong as their were no "misrepresentation" on the insurance application/contract. By misrepresentation I mean, at the moment the car owner signed the application and contract he wasto state any material facts that could change the underwriting decision such as premiums. For example, if the car owner has a son who will also drive the car, the car owner is obligated by law to diclose that to the insurance company. In the event that an accident occurs and a "undisclosed driver" was operating the veichle the insurance has 2 options. 1. He can Void the policy/contract and not cover the auto owner. or 2. He can cover the auto owner and payout damages but later sue in a court a law that amount and underpayed premiums for the time the policy was active and the undiclosed driver was operating the car. *Note" In rare cases, an insurance company will cover the "undisclosed driver" aslong as the difference in the premium is paid.
