Auto Accidents Are Serious Business - Articles Surfing

Car accidents happen everyday, some are serious and fatal while some cause just minor dents in vehicles. A car accident is classified the same though no matter how severe the accident is, so this means that if you hit a vehicle you can be ticketed and charged possibly even if it's minor. When you*re young and new to driving you need to especially watch how you drive, because one accident can mean that your insurance jumps to an amount that isn*t even feasible. Insurance is always expensive when you first start driving and as time passes along if you keep a clean driving record then it will start lowering in price, but the second you get into an accident it can jump like crazy. If you*re found *at fault* in an accident this means your insurance company needs to pay the damages to the other vehicle and it means your insurance is going to rise dearly.

It's very important that you don*t get into an accident because if you*re deemed the at fault driver then it could put your whole driving career in jeopardy. Usually when you run into something you*re at fault and if you put a claim through insurance then your rates will go up depending on how bad the damage was. Now if you get into an accident with another vehicle then it becomes a challenge sometimes, because the insurance companies and police need to find the at fault driver. Sometimes this is easy to determine and other times it is difficult and sometimes you can become the at fault driver even when it wasn*t you who caused it. To avoid this circumstance you need to avoid car accidents period because you never know when it could become you who is the at fault driver.

With only one accident your insurance rates can increase as much as 100 percent, which isn*t the case most times, but if you*re a young driver then you can expect it too be close to that figure. Accidents are not a joking matter and you must ensure that you never get into an accident where it's your fault because it could cost you thousands of dollars over the years. An accident can affect your insurance rates for as long as ten years after the actual accident, which means you will be paying for your mistake for up to ten years.

If you*re already an established driver then you won*t be hit as hard on the insurance rate spike, but you can expect to pay up to 15-50% more depending on your age and how long you*ve been with your current insurance company. Some insurance companies will value their clients and if you have a good driving record and then get into an accident after being with them for many years then they may give you a free pass on your accident, which means you won*t pay for it for the next ten years. Not all companies do this though so don*t assume you will get away with being in an accident.
