How Much Will Car Insurance Increase After An Accident?
1615 POINTSview profileRyan AndrewPresident, The Andrew Agency, Richmond, VAThere is not a fixed amount for an increase after an accident. Insurance companies will review the type of accident, total amount paid, the length of time you've been insured with the company and your prior record. Several insurance companies offer accident forgiveness, vanishing deductibles and safe driving rewards so check with your agent to see if any of these features apply to your policy.Answered on January 20, 2014flag this answer

Many companies, however, offer such benefits as accident forgiveness, either by paid endorsement or by the number of terms insured (loyalty benefits in other words) and if you have such a benefit, you will not see your rates increase because of the accident. Check with your Insurance Professional and ask about the terms and conditions of your policy to see how you may be affected.Answered on January 21, 2014flag this answer

Here in California all at-fault accidents are surcharge-able. If bodily injury is involved then California good driver discount will be removed along with the surcharge that is added. You can go from 25%-100% increase depending on the situation.Answered on January 21, 2014flag this answer
