it all depends on your past record, your ins company, and how severe the damage. state farm and a few others have accident forgiveness. low end companies will jack your rates if you report a claim against other drivers that hit you just because you are making them work.

This will depend on how long you have been with that insurance company. If you have not been with them very long then your rates may increase. If you have been with them a long time your rates might not increase but you may lose a loss-free discount. If you lose the discount your premium will go up but your rates will remain the same.


How would an insurance claim affect your future rates in a hit and run accident that was not your fault?

According to my experience, it should not affect your insurance rates if you were not at fault. I was involved in a hit-and-run myself, and at the time I was too nervous to jot down the correct license plate. I filed the report anyways though.Of course, due to the severity of the accident and whether or not you were injured, that would determine how much money your insurer need to shell out. However, as long as it's not your fault, they have no reason to increase your rates.Good luck!
