Rates going up for making your first claim can vary by carrier. Many insurance carriers offer a claim free discount so making a claim can remove this discount which looks to the consumer as a rate increase. Also the type of claim can make a difference if the rates are effected or not. There are many variables and so I recommend you always consult with your local agent on how a claim may effect your rates or eligibility.
