Does Car Insurance Go Up After A Claim? 
That is a great question ! In some cases , it is likely that a claim can increase your premiums , but it is not always the case . Many companies offer a `` forgiveness '' benefit , which allows for an infrequent , or first accident claim to go through without damaging your record with them . It may also depend upon the circumstances of the claim as to whether or not the price will go up . It is pretty much a certainty that if there was a hefty property damage claim , or any kind of criminal act involved , that you will see an increase . I hope that helps - thanks for asking !
