Will Auto Insurance Rate Increase For Failure To Report Accident
Reader’s Question:
Should I expect my auto insurance rate to increase if I reported an accident to my insurance carrier in which I was not found at fault?

It is unlikely you would see a car insurance rate increase solely because you were in an accident in which another driver was at fault.
You may receive an auto insurance rate increase if you have been involved in many car accidents altogether in the same year or in recent years. Even if you had many accidents and were found not at fault in any of them, the insurance carrier in Deerfield Beach may assume there is something hazardous about your driving and therefore may charge you a higher car insurance rate.
