Employee Driving His Own Car

The Nonprofit

An organization focused on providing services to immigrants.

The Situation

A nonprofit’s employee was driving his own vehicle on agency business and was involved in an at-fault, catastrophic collision.

Unbeknownst to the nonprofit, the employee’s personal auto coverage had lapsed.

The Resolution

The nonprofit’s non-owned coverage dropped down to become primary, as did the umbrella policy in excess of the non-owned liability coverage.

A settlement was reached. No legal expenses were incurred.
