My husband was in an accident while driving a company dump truck. He rear-ended two vehicles after they stopped quick in front of him. The truck was not insured and his boss is only willing to pay for the second vehicle the one the truck actually made contact with. He hasn't payed for either one to date.
The state of WA where the accident happened is threatening to pull my husband's driver's license. We're really not sure what to do. NY DMV says they can legally pull his licence.

Can WA pull my NY CDL after an accident?

I would say, Yes. Now if your boss gave him a counterfeit insurance certificate that claimed he had valid insurance. The best advice I could give in this situation. Get a Attorney involved. Since his boss did not have insurance, it is very possible the vehicles involved will sue him along with his boss. If your husband cares any ioda of his CDL, he will contact some legal assistance immediately.

Takes a second or two. You can verify real quick whether or not your employer has valid insurance.
