Reply to comment by InsuranceMD123 in My 19yo nephew was at fault and uninsured in an auto accident. He received a bill for $54k from the opposing insurance company. by MyFreeAccount

They say that they won't cover it because he was removed from the policy about two months previous to the accident.

Have you provided them proof that he moved out and no longer lives in the state? They might be assuming or suspecting that he is still living with you. If they are aware of this then you're going to need to hire an attorney to sort this out.

Which address is the nephew’s address of record?

Ask them if that means they don't cover occasional drivers then, because that would be unusual. Unless he wasn't just removed by specifically excluded from coverage, which would be even more unusual.

Was he excluded from the policy for poor driving or driving under the influence? Or was he removed as a regular vehicle driver by the owner of the car? Two different things. The first means if he drove the vehicle the owners should know he won't be covered and they ( and he) will be sued. The second should still cover him under a standard liability insurance policy because the vehicle is insured, not the driver. It will not, however, cover the vehicle he was driving.
