Will your insurance premium increase if you scratch another car and claim it?

In: Tickets Points and Auto Insurance Rates

[Edit]

Answer

Any claims made against your insurance company can result in an increase in your premium. If it's just a scratch, it would be better to settle with the person with an out of pocket payment if at all possible. Be sure to get a quote with the person (both parties present at time of quote).
