I Was In An Accident, Will My Car Insurance Rates Go Up?

Part 2: How long does an accident stay on my record?

Ok, so back to the example where you rear ended someone.

We have already established that you are going to see your insurance rates go up. Now, we need to find out how long and how much will they go up.

State insurance boards usually allow insurance companies to charge for a accident for 3 years from the day they started charging for it. Not from the time you got into the accident.

You got in the accident in December and your policy runs from October to April.

Your rates won't be affected until April of the next year and the surcharge will drop off 3 years from that April.
