How will your insurance deductible be affected after numerous accident claims?
Your deductible may go up. Most likely though, it will be your premiums that skyrocket. After some time with no claims, costs will lessen.
If you get into an accident and the other driver is at fault and your car is totaled of course his insurance will pay but if they pay the deductible who gets it?
There is no deductible for liability claims.
In this scenario what would happen if Rebecca chose to lower her deductible after completing her current claim?
It would not affect her current claim but lowering of her deductible would then affect any future claims. Of course the premium would be slightly higher in exchange for the lower deductible. The company will also want to examine the vehicle to make sure repairs are done from the previous accident before lowering the deductible.

Can carriers raise your premiums for a serious accident where your car is totaled and the insurance company pays for your car but the insurance investigator ruled that the accident was not your fault?
yes if your ins.co. pays for your car. Even if they don't pay for your car. My agent warned me that my homeowners premiums could be raised just for filing claims! They used to send an adjustor out automatically if there was a hailstorm or windstorm, but not any more. I just wanted an ajustor to estimate the damage last spring and let me know if it would exceed my deductible.
What is better for home insurance low or high deductible?
This depends on how much money you have in reserves to pay for repairs or unexpected expenses. If you have 2 to 5,000 to use for emergencies consider a higher deductible to lower premiums as insurance should be considered for major catastrophies and not about $100 broken window claims.
