Why do auto insurance rates rise after an accident?
Insurance companies are risk averse and in the business of making money. These are old companies in it for the long run. They have shareholders to consider, and have to pay out major claims if their covered drivers are found to be at-fault. If you file a claim, you likely have found that your premiums increased. You're not alone. Considering that the rates tend to stay high for about three years after each claim is filed, those rate hikes pretty much pay for the damages you’ve been paying your insurance premiums to cover. It’s almost like the car insurance company is giving you a loan to cover your accident losses that you pay them back for over the years.

What do you do if the driver who hit you doesn't have insurance? [VIDEO]
Representing yourself and working with your insurance company isn't as easy as the commercials make it sound, especially if the driver who hit you doesn't have insurance or enough coverage. The adjuster is going to ask you questions that are hard to answer, confusing, or might even feel like they don't believe you, like in this video spoof of the process. It's simply that auto insurers have stakeholders whose best interest it is in not paying the highest amount possible per claim. It's sad but true. This is why it helps to have someone on your side who knows the laws and how to negotiate with insurance companies. Because if they don't play fair, then these cases are settled in court. Especially when you must file an uninsured or underinsured motorist claim. These are complex claims so it helps to have help.
