Rate increase after an Accident
by Lisa B
I have rear end someone, There was no damage to their car however about $5000 to mine. I was charged with Careless (Which I will fight). I just wanted to know if anyone had any insight on how much my rates would increase after the claim goes through and I take care of my fines. At Fault Accident and Auto RatesHi Lisa If this is your only at fault accident, and you have claims forgiveness, and the ticket is reduced to a less serious charge, then your rates won't go up too badly (they will go up if you still have a conviction of some sort). If you do not have claims forgiveness, expect your rates to double. Maybe more if the careless charge stays on your record. Please be sure to discuss this further with a licensed insurance representative.
