If you are found at fault is the amount that your premiums will increase determined by the total amount the claim or just by the number of claims?

unfortunately this isn't an easy answer -
it depends on the type of claim (property, personal injury etc) , your driving history ( years of experience,your age, accident hist,points, revocations etc) , how At Fault you were (10%,80% etc) and of course the royal boomerang - the insurance companies policy , the hardest one of them all to gauge , because they keep that confidential . If your ins co is too expensive , shop around and get a written quote prior to changing companies, transfer the coverage and pay the new one in full when you get the bill, that way they cant raise the rate later( a common low ball trick a lot of them use to get you to switch). Pick a date for the date of coverage to take effect , and when you have the new policy take effect ,drop the old co effective the date the new one starts, that way you don't have duplicate coverage - which is th law in most states - and the old company will have to refund you any credit left on your old policy- the law too . good luck

How much would insurance cost if you were involved in a car accident that was your fault and both drivers have liability insurance?
How much will it COST? If you have a good record of several years without claims, your premiums may not increase, but if you are a new driver or have had prior claims the increase will be determined by your insurer and no one else can give you a definite answer. Or how much will it PAY? If it was your fault, your liability coverage will pay for the damage to the other driver's car and if you do not have collision coverage, you get to pay for your own repairs.

Will insurance rates go up if no claims were reported?
Insurance rates are not determined by an individual's claims ratios, as the few who have claims could never afford their premiums if that were the case. They are figured over thousands of clients. This is how insurance of every kind works. By use of the law of large numbers, the risk of loss can be figured and these rates applied. Risk is calculated so that those who exhibit the most risk will pay higher premiums while those who have lower risk will pay less. Auto insurance companies usually lose money on claims but hope to make money by investing the sums between collection and payment of claims.
