How Much Does Car Insurance Increase After An Accident? 
That really depends upon the company and terms and conditions of your policy . The amount may vary but it is possible to see upwards of a 25 % increase for about three years after an accident is settled . On the other hand , if you are a long time policy holder and this is your first such claim , you may have a benefit called `` first accident forgiveness '' which means you wo n't see any accident related increase at all .
