How long do you have to report an accident to your insurance company and what happens if you dont report it and will it affect your insurance rates?

All Insuring contracts require that you report any loss to the Insurance Company Promptly. This is generally interpreted to be as soon as practical. Failure to report an accident and subsequent failure to cooperate with your Insurer on a claim is a violation of the terms of your insurance contract Most often you will not have to worry about a rate increase as the company is much more apt to cancel your policy. Refusal to cooperate on or report a claim usually shows bad faith on the part of the insured and possible deceit, fraud or negligence. If an accident report was made then your insurer will likely find the accident the next time it pulls your driving record. I f the accident was "At Fault" then most insurers will assess 2 points to your risk rate factor resulting in about 2 to 10 percent additional premium depending on your insurers filed rate plan.
