What the difference between a unlicensed and a license driver being in an accident?

For insuring purposes it just depends on whether there was an active policy covering the driver (licensed or not) at the time of the accident. So long as there is active coverage and the driver is not excluded and meets the definition of a covered driver under the terms of the insuring contract, the accident would still be covered.

Is an unlicensed driver automatically at fault in an auto accident in Washington state?
No. Just the fact of being unlicensed does not mean that the driver did something that caused the accident. Being unlicensed is what is called a non-moving violation. Another violation of this type may be not having a current registration tag on the vehicle. Just because you don't have a tag on your car doesn't automatically make you at fault for someone hitting your car. Fault for the accident will have to be determined by the police officers after they investigate the scene and take statements from witnesses. The person who is driving without a drivers license will get a ticket for not being licensed and then whoever was at fault will receive a violation for whatever they did to cause the accident.

Basically, don't let an unlicensed driver drive your car, even if they are the co-signer.
