While it’s understandable to be skeptical, the reality of car insurance premiums can be a bit more complex. Insurance companies do often have guidelines or algorithms that determine how much they can raise your premiums after an incident, but there isn’t a strict “ceiling” that applies universally.
In Washington State, like many other places, various factors influence premium increases. These factors can include the type and severity of the incidents, your overall driving record, the time elapsed since the last incident, and the specific policies of your insurer. Some states have regulations that limit how much premiums can be raised after certain types of claims, but this varies.
It’s important to check the specifics of your insurance policy and consider discussing this directly with your insurance agent or company. They can provide the most accurate information regarding any potential premium increases based on your specific situation.
