A car accident may increase your rates if you’re at fault (insurance providers typically assess risk factors, including your driving history, when determining fees). But the good news is that in California, if you were not at fault for a car accident, it’s illegal for the insurance company to raise your rates (although most people are unaware of this, and it’s not uncommon for these corporations to increase rates without notice regardless of fault).
