HB 4668 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

To make any accident involving a driver that is driving on a revoked/suspended license or is driving while unlicensed is automatically at fault for the accident

HB 4668 amends West Virginia law to automatically assign fault to drivers operating without a valid license (due to suspension, revocation, or being unlicensed) in any accident. It directly affects drivers whose license privileges have been lawfully suspended or revoked by the state when involved in collisions. The key provision (section f) creates a legal presumption of fault for these drivers, meaning they cannot dispute liability in court for accidents they cause while driving illegally. This changes how fault is determined in accident cases but does not alter existing criminal penalties for driving without a license. The bill focuses solely on liability assignment in accident claims, not on modifying punishment for the underlying license violation.
