What happens will depend mainly on your insurance company. They may or
may not decide to cancel your policy. Another thing the insurance
company can do is; raise your premiums, or decide not to renew your
coverage, for the following year. The insurance company has to look at
a number of things before they make any decision. It has to be
determined whether or not the claims are legitimate. Another thing they
will look at is your driving record. They will need to see how many
points are already accumulated on your driving record. They have to
weigh in a lot of factors before they make a final decision. The
insurance company uses an in house scoring system that ;also, involves
your credit score. if your credit score is low you will undoubtedly
receive an increase in premium payments. Some accidents can not be
helped, and are probably not your fault, but unfortunately, that does
not matter. The insurance company do not like paying too many claims on
the same policy. Chances are too many accidents whether you are at
fault, or not, can have an adverse effect on the way the insurance
company respond. Your premiums could go up almost double. Not only that
but it is recorded on your driving record. This will not look good for
you when you are seeking for a quote or looking to replace your
insurance coverage. You could help yourself by purchasing a lower
deductible, or by taking an defensive driving class. Insurance
companies usually give customers discounts when they take driving
improvement courses. You can also get discounts for having safety
features on your vehicle. Anti lock brakes, and air bags and a few
other safety devices in place would also be helpful. Try not to file so
many small claims; most drivers, do not report accidents under $500.00.
If your insurance company decides to drop you. you can always purchase
insurance with another company. If you have these safety features in
place you could probably break even on premiums, or you may end up
paying less than paid on your previous insurance policy.
