Probably not, particularly if your carrier doesn't pay anything out on the claim.

Each carrier is different, however, and while you might not expect a rate increase from this accident, you might coincidentally be up for a rate revision, anyway. If that occurs, call your carrier and make sure it's just a revision and not related to this loss.

It's possible, too, that after reporting this loss, you may have given your carrier additional information that could affect your rates (change of address, use of your car, etc.), but those changes would be minor.

Can an insurance agency find out about an accident if no claim was reported and the accident happen during a time when the person didnt have car insurance a police report was made?

Yes. If a police report was filed or not more than likely the other parties insurance carrier notified the DMV and the accident was put on your record and the amount still owed to the insurance carrier is also listed there. If it was a one car accident and you were the only one that lost out it may or may not be on your record but since a report was filed it may still be listed. Be honest with the agency that you are talking with about a quote and they probably will know more about whether or not it will show up. If you lie on the application and it comes out later the company could consider this material misrepresentation and deny a future claim. It's not worth the chance of wondering whether or not you have coverage if a major accident happens.


If you had an accident and it wasnt your fault does it go in your driving record?

If the police came out and made a report of it then it will be on your driving record. It will be a not-at-fault accident but it will still be on your driving record. If the police did not come out but your insurance knows about it then it will be on your CLUE report and be a not-at-fault accident.


Call your insurance if you have a auto accident?

Always call your insurance carrier if you have been involved in a car accident. You may also need the advice of a good personal injury attorney if you have specific questions regarding your accident claim. You are under no obligation to speak directly with any other insurance company that may be involved in your claim other than to offer basic information. Unfortunately many insurance handlers are taught ways to coerce claimants into admitting guilt in an accident. They also record the conversations they have with claimants.
