| Recent Questions | Is it worth filing a claim for a scratch on my car that happened when it was parked? If the scratch was the result of vandalism and not caused by another vehicle then filing a comprehensive claim should have little to no impact on your future rates. This also means that you will have to pay your comprehensive coverage deductible for the repair. When filling out quotes, do I have to disclose an accident that my friend had while driving my car?The questions pertains to you as a driver. The same would go for tickets. If I file a claim for denting my car door on a beam, will my insurance rate increase?Filing a claim where you were the cause of damage will most likely result in an increase in your rate. In Texas, the average increase in premium for an at-fault accident is $817 per year, based on our State of Insurance report. See More Questions | Should I get full coverage from a less well-known insurer? Whether or not the company is a "mainstream" provider doesn't mean that you would have a bad claims experience. There are several companies out there that have been around for several years and just don't advertise like other companies. Who is at-fault when parking spot stopper had bolts sticking out of it?Unfortunately you would be considered at fault for the damage to your vehicle. If you file a claim, it will likely be paid under collision coverage, meaning you'll be required to pay your deductible. If my daughter is uninsured and gets rear-ended by another driver, will their insurance cover her damage?In most instances of rear-end accidents, the driver who was hit is normally considered to be not at fault so I'd recommend that your daughter contact the insurance company of the other driver to start the claims process. In Texas, your insurance status (or lack thereof) should not keep you from being compensated if you are hit by an at-fault driver. Do car insurance companies share information?The new insurance company is likely to find out about the accident, but that will come from your driving reports when you buy your policy. The majority of insurance companies request a motor vehicle report (MVR) and a comprehensive loss underwriting exchange (CLUE) report to verify the accuracy of a new customer's driving record.
