First of all, you should consider a lawsuit ONLY if there were injuries or extensive vehicular damage that isn't covered by your policy's underinsured or uninsured motorist coverage. This is the type of situation that underinsured or uninsured motorist coverage is for, so it should take care of it. If your case is a valid one (you aren't just trying to get a big cash settlement), I think you can still pursue it. The incident happened in your state and regardless of current residency, she will have to deal with it (e.g., if you get a ticket in another state you still have to respond). Also , in general, you don't have to be in the same state as the potential defendant to file a lawsuit.

Can you hold a person liable if person is excluded on insurance an gets into wreck?
What do you mean hold them liable. If you gave them permission to drive your vehicle and you had excluded them on your policy, the insurance company will not pay any part of the claim. More than likely you, as owner of the vehicle will be the primary target. If the accident involves another car you will be primarily responsible for their damages and injuries as well as the damage to your vehicle. You can try to implicate the driver but it is your vehicle, your insurance and exclusion that you signed, and you gave this person permission to drive your vehicle, knowing what you do about them.

If a wheelchair van owner has no insurance on their vehicle what insurance coverages are covered by the fully insured drivers own insurance if they are a caregiver of the owner?
Insurance follows the vehicle. If the owner of the wheelchair van has no insurance on it, and the person who drives it, has insurance on their own vehicle.... then the wheelchair van would still be considered an uninsured vehicle. Again, insurance always follows the vehicle. The driver who is not the owner cannot use his/her insurance to cover the wheelchair van because they have no 'ownership' or 'insurable interest' in the van.
