Depends on the type, amount and your claim history. Usually Comprehensive claims for glass breakage....ie., rock damaged windshield, do not negatively affect your claim history unless there is an unacceptable frequency of them. Some insurance companies don't sweat small claims...under $750.00 for instance. Alot also is determined by how long you have been with your insurance company. If you have a good claim history...ie., very few if any claims...you normally will not see an increase in premium. However, if you just purchased an insurance policy and you have a claim within the first couple of days...the company will keep your policy under close scrutiny. If you have an insurance agent, then I strongly urge you to call them first.... a claim inquiry call to your insurance COMPANY opens up a claim folder/history....your insurance agent can usually answer any insurance claim question you have and also offer valuable advice BEFORE you file a claim with your insurance company.

Will scratching a car make your insurance rates go up?
Rates go up when the insurance company has to pay a claim. They might not go up if the claim is small.
If your parked car was hit by an at fault driver and filed a claim with your full coverage insurance will it go up?
Yes, anytime you make a claim to YOUR insurance, it will go up. That's how they get their money back. If you don't submit a claim to them, then no. I do not necessarily agree with the answer above. What you did not indicate in your question was did the person at fault have insurance. If they did then even though you filed a claim and your carrier paid you, they would likely recover from the at fault person's insurance. In this circumstance you insurance should not go up.
