If you are at fault in an auto accident do you have to pay the other persons deductible and my vehicle had already been damaged?
No. They are responsible for their own deductible. Because, when my van got hit, which was parked, I had to pay my deductible before the insurance company would cover it!
Difference between a deductible and a premium?
A premium is the amount of money you pay the auto/health insurance company monthly, quarterly, or biannually whether or not you get in an accident or go to the hospital. The higher your premium the lower your deductible, and the lower your premium the higher your deductible. A deductible is the amount of money after you get in a car accident or visit the hospital before your insurance company pays anything. After you have met your deductible the insurance company covers the rest of the expenses.
How does your deductible work in home insurance?

In terms of auto insurance, the deductible is the amount the policyholder is committing to pay if their vehicle is damaged or stolen before the insurance company is responsible for paying out a claim.

Similarly, in auto insurance, if a driver has a $500 deductible and is involved in an accident causing $2,000 in damage, they will need to pay the first $500 before the insurer pays the rest.
What is a base deductible?

The base deductible can vary based on the insurance policy and may reset annually.
Can you get a tax exemption for money paid for a deductible on an accident claim if the accident is not your fault?
Prefaced by the standard - generally, under most circumstances, etc - and what your looking for is a deduction (of the expense), not an exemption (which would be advantageous if it was income). Yes, as it would be a casualty loss deduction. However, as the casualty deduction has some restrictions to meet before it can be claimed, which is likely not to be met by the generally modest amount of a deductible, unless you have losses on top of the deductible, it is likely not really available.
What do you do if your insurance lapses during an accident?
Your insurance is either valid on the day of your accident or it isn't.

If your policy was not in effect the day of the accident then coverage will not apply.

In this scenario what would happen if Rebecca chose to lower her deductible after completing her current claim?

The company will also want to examine the vehicle to make sure repairs are done from the previous accident before lowering the deductible.
What is a double deduction in auto insurance?
The deductible will double if the loss occurs during a certain time period. So if your deductible is currently $500, you will pay $1,000 before the insurance will pay any amount. Typically this applies only for the first two or three months of a new policy. After that, only the $500 will apply. The benefit of selecting a double deductible policy is that it lowers your premium.
