Usually an at-fault accident stays on your driving record for 3
years. Therefore, the surchargeable accident will affect your auto
insuranc premiums for 3 years. The surcharge begins at the renewal
of your auto policy following the date of your accident. For
example: You accident date was 7/15/2006 and your auto policy
renews in August 2006, then the surcharge will be in effect until
August 2009.

In Florida If you were in an accident and was excluded from driving the car and it was not your fault can the insurance co make the owner of the car pay for the damages on the other car?
The insurance company is not going to force anyone to pay for
damages to a car. The person that was driving the car and or the
owner of that car that caused the accident is liable for the
damages to the other vehicles involved in the accident. If there is
insurance coverage for that damage then the insurance company will
pay. However if the driver of the at fault vehicle is excluded from
the insurance policy then the insurance company may be relieved
from it's responsibility to pay on behalf of the owner of the
vehicle.
