Will my insurance premiums go up because I was in an accident, even if it wasnt my fault?
A: Possibly, yes. Even if you have never made any kind of claim on your policy before, the company can – and likely will – raise your premium. People are always surprised and disappointed when this happens. You can certainly talk to your agent or insurance company representative about a premium increase; however, it is the company’s decision whether to increase the cost of your coverage.
