Best Answer

In most states accidents stay on record for at least 3 years. However, different companies have different policies in place regarding premium adjustments in terms of your driving record. Some will lower after 6 months, 1 year, or some wait the full 3 years. Just like the Stock Market, insurance companies change their rates ALL the time. It's best to do some insurance shopping at least once every 6 to 12 months to see if you can qualify for a lower rate anywhere else.

How long after an accident or ticket is your premium affected?

It usually affects your next renewal premium. It can vary depending on your state, the citation, and your insurance carrier. Normally speeding tickets stay on your record for three years for insurance rating purposes.


How long does it take to lower the premium once it has been raised?

This will depend on what type of insurance and what the reason was for the premium being raised. If your auto insurance was raised because of an accident, ticket etc then the rules of the company and/or the state will drive the answer. In CA an accident is generally not counted against you after three years, a ticket after five. A DUI would be longer. Homeowners

Will your premium increase in the ratio of the amount insurance is paying to fix the car whether it is your fault or not?

Some insurance companies have "accident forgiveness" and others don't. Even if an accident is not your fault, you are now viewed as a higher risk. You may be able to cancel the claim and fix the damage yourself, but you should do the math first. Figure out the cost of repair versus the difference in your monthly bill for 3 years. Take the road with the lower cost to you. The question is does premium increases in the ratio of amount insurace carrier is paying to fix the car?
