They will also ask about the living arrangements when you took the policy out and deny coverage if you made a material misrepresentation on the application.

Are you worried that the insurance company will deny coverage? Was he a permissive user of your car the day of the collision? There are a lot of questions. I'd recommend you speak with an attorney about this. Especially, if your son was not at fault in the collision and the insurance is questioning whether coverage would apply.

You can add your son and anyone else by calling your agent. The investigation is probably only focused on the date of the crash and the application for insurance that was in full force and effect on the date of the accident. Good luck.
