There are a lot of factors that are not disclosed but let us assume that this is your first accident and you have had your insurance for over 180 days with the same company. Your rates should not change but you may lose a accident-free discount. If you lose the discount then it may look like your rates went up but infact all that happened is that you lost the discount and the base rate is the same. If this is not your 1st accident, are with a high-risk insurance company now, had your insurance for less than 180 days with the currect company then there could be changes. Call your agent.
After an automobile accident the automobile insurance carrier will usually raise the rates of the liability 7-10% depending on the severity of the accident.
You call your insurance company and report it. if the accident is your fault, with very minor damage, you would be better off paying for the damages yourself, rather than telling your insurance company and having your rates go up.

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.

That is solely up to the discretion of your insurance provider. Your rates won't necessarily go up, especially if this is your first claim. The Hartford insurance offers me first accident forgiveness, which basically guarantees that the insurance company will not raise my rates after my first accident. If this is your first accident and your policy includes this as well then your rtes won't rise at all.
Yes, the general idea of insurance is that your rates go up when you cause an accident and they are forced to pay out.
It goes on your record and your insurance rates get adjusted.
