Many people do this, but it is not recommended. It is still considered an attempt to defraud. I recommend that you use this situation to check around for cheaper insurance with the new accident as a part of your quote. Some insurance agents will pull your record and not see it, and not include it in the quote, you may fly under the radar for that first year, and enjoy a lower premium, but let that be something that they do. Just be careful with disclosure laws, many insurance companies deny claims when people leave things out.
A DUI will not, it will if the person is on your policy and may increase if that person cause an accident in your car.
Generally speaking, no. However, in any moving incident/violation, your driving record is checked. If it turns out that you have a few past speeding tickets, and maybe another previous accident or two where you were not at fault, the insurance company may choose to tag you as a high-risk driver and increase your premium. On the other hand, if you are a driver with a spotless record, your rates will probably not go up in the event of an accident where you are not at fault.
NO. the accident happened while he had his fathers car insurance. If he switches insurance he still uses the insurance he had when he got into his accident. However, your health insurance with pick up the difference.

Immediately after an accident, you should call your insurance company and they will tell you their responsibility in that particular state. Your agent should have given you that information when you purchased your policy. Each state has slight differences. An insurance agent in this state is not licensed to comment on the insurance policies of another state.
Report the accident to your insurance company. If this was a single car accident - meaning yours- your insurance will have to pay for the repairs minus your deductible. If another party caused the accident you need to turn their insurance information over to your company and they will take it from there.
If the accident was your fault, the other party's insurerhas no duties owed you.
