Question

Langstraat was seventeen when he purchased a motorcycle. When applying for insurance, he signed a "Notice of Rejection," declining to purchase uninsured motorist coverage. He was involved in an accident with an uninsured motorist and sought to disaffirm his rejection of the uninsured motorist coverage on the basis of infancy. May he do so?

Answer 1

Answer:

No, Langstraat cannot disaffirm his rejection for the uninsured motorist coverage. Since Langstraat is a minor, he can legally disaffirm a contract, but by doing so, he will disaffirm the entire contract, not just one or two previsions of his choice.

In this specific case, Langstraat can disaffirm the whole insurance policy contract, but he cannot disaffirm only one clause. If he chooses to disaffirm the whole policy, the result will be the same, he will not have coverage.
