See if son has a policy of his own that would step in as secondary coverage. Contact them and see if son has a policy and who with.A second, but difficult path to take, would be to find out why son is excluded. It's likely due to muliple accidents, citations, DUI(s), etc. There's something that dad doesn't want to pay high premiums for. If you find something, make a case against dad for negligent entrustment. Negligent entrustment is a cause of action in tort law that arises where one party (the entrustor) is held liable for negligence because they negligently provided another party (the entrustee) with a dangerous instrumentality, and the entrusted party caused injury to a third party with that instrumentality. The cause of action most frequently arises where one person allows another to drive their automobile.

Negligent entrustment is generally found where the entrustee had a reputation or record that showed his propensity to be dangerous through possession of such an instrumentality.
is there any country where you dont have to sit a driving test?
If that doesn't work and the son is a minor living in dad's house, some state's allow for a claim against the parents up to a specified amount of damages for acts of their children. In my state, that's $1500. If you get no cooperation on their part with this, file a small claims court action against father and son and let the judge decide how much you get and from who. It's informal, inexpensive and probably your best route unless you wish to turn it in to your company and let them handle the damages less your deductible and they can attempt recovery on your behalf.

I have never heard of such a exclusion. The ins. normally covers all drivers with permission to drive that vehicle. If there is such an exclusion where you live the father should still be liable for damage his vehicle caused. I feel you will need a good attorney.I want buy a car,which car I should buy?
What you have is an uninsured motorist hitting you. If you have uninsured/under insured on your policy, your policy will pay for repairs and go after the other at fault person to get their money back. If you don't have that (which you stated) or collision, all you can do is send the person who hit you a demand letter for the amount it will cost you to have your car fixed, and take him into court if he refuses to pay.im looking for pictures of tennessee state drivers license numbers, the actual number.?

As Ryan explained, if the other guy's son was excluded from the policy, why does he have keys to the truck? That can be grounds of a lawsuit. Does the son have his own insurance policy? Even if that truck wasn't on the son's policy he was the driver and he'd still pay up.

The owner's liability can cover you if the owner files a police report alleging unauthorized use of the vehicle -- aka, theft. That will be up to the owner to decide if he wants to do that or pay up out-of-pocket.
