“`expressio unius est exclusio alterius' (express mention of one thing implies exclusion of all others),”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Cases construing the phrase “arising out of the ... use of a motor vehicle” uniformly require that the injured person establish a causal connection between the use of the motor vehicle and the injury. (Citation omitted.) Such causal connection must be more than incidental, fortuitous or but for. The injury must be foreseeably identifiable with the normal use of the vehicle. (Citations omitted.) (Emphasis added.)”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““A ‘named driver exclusion’ endorsement in a motor vehicle liability insurance policy in this State is of no force or effect up to the limits of financial responsibility required by W.Va,Code, 17D-4-2 [1979]; however, above those mandatory limits, or with regard to the property of the named insured himself, a ‘named driver exclusion’ endorsement is valid under W.Va.Code, 33-6-31(a) [1982].””
