Will my insurance rates increase?
Houston Car Accident Lawyer
Many motor vehicle operators erroneously believe that if they are involved in a car accident and file a personal injury claim, their insurance rates will be increased. Personal injury claims are filed with the at-fault driver's insurance carrier. There is no reason for your own carrier to raise your rates unless you were the driver that was responsible for the accident. Even if it is determined that you were partially responsible for the accident, it is still could be unlikely that your rates would be increased. It is also illegal in this state for an insurance company to raise your rates for filing a car accident injury claim. A Houston car accident attorney can provide more information regarding insurance rates and explain how the claim process works in-depth.
