What Happens to My Car Insurance Rates if I Get into an Accident, But It’s Not My Fault?

So you’ve gotten in a car accident, but it wasn’t your fault in any way, shape, or form. Maybe you got rear ended by another driver. Maybe the other driver ran a stop sign and you crashed into them. Whatever the case may be, the question on your mind is probably whether or not your car insurance rates will go up, even though the accident wasn’t your fault.

Well, depending on your car insurance company, the answer may be very different. Of course, accidents that ARE your fault have a direct effect on your car insurance rate. Depending on the circumstances and your insurance company, however, your car insurance rates may increase even if the accident isn’t your fault.
