Will making a claim raise my rates?

June 26, 2023
If you're involved in a car accident and you're injured, you may be wondering if making a claim will raise your insurance rates. The short answer is that it depends on the circumstances of the accident and your insurance policy.

In general, if you were not at fault for the accident and you make a claim for personal injury, your rates should not go up. This is because your insurance company will seek reimbursement from the at-fault driver's insurance company, rather than paying out of their own pocket.

However, if you were partially or fully at fault for the accident, making a claim could result in higher rates. This is because your insurance company will have to pay out for your damages, and they may see you as a higher-risk driver as a result.

It's important to note that every insurance policy is different, so it's always a good idea to review your policy and speak with your insurance agent to understand how making a claim could impact your rates. Additionally, if you're unsure about who was at fault for the accident, it's best to consult with a personal injury attorney who can help you navigate the legal process and protect your rights.

Our attorneys have handled THOUSANDS of car accident cases and have won MILLIONS for our clients. Call 844-227-9739 for your free consultation.
