Will your insurance premium go up if you are not at fault in Michigan?

Usually if an accident is determined not to be the insured's fault, then their insurance rates will not rise as the insurance company did not lose any money from covering the driver involved in the accident. If the accident is determined as being inconclusive, the rates may rise some, to adjust for the amount of money the insurance company lost in the accident.


If an unisured driver has an accident in your car will your insurance still cover it?

I can only speak for Florida because that is where I live and it is a no fault State. In Florida it really would make no difference to you if the other driver did not inform his insurance company of an accident. Really, you would only have to file a claim with your own company and contact his insurance company after the accident. I would just make sure you have the other drivers info so that you can contact them about the accident.

Where can you get car insurance with a permit?

I doubt there is insurance available to you. With a permit, you are actually driving under the authority and liability of the licensed driver in the car. It is their insurance that protects you and other drivers in the event of an accident. Once you have a driver's license and own your own car, you can purchase insurance from almost any insurance company.
