You could appeal it, but you probably wouldn't get too far. That's why it's so important to pick a good carrier before you have an accident. Slightly higher premiums pay off in the long run; many "cheaper" insurance companies will pretty much abandon you after there's a problem. But see if you can appeal to someone higher in the company than the department raising the premium.

Yes, some insurers have rules that even if there was an accident with no payout or no claim made, your premiums will be affected. So once you report the incident to your insurer, they will consider it a claim against your future premiums. However, there are some companies out there that will not hold the incident against you, so would recommend you shop around for the best rate based on your situation.
