Auto Insurance Claims/Weather related accident

Question
My 18 year old daughter slid on an icy road in PA and hit a curb. She has damage to her axile. Her car is covered under her policy. If we submit a claim, will her insurance go up?

Answer
Hi Barb,
That's a question that only her agent can answer.  Every company has rules as to what claims activity they will allow against the policy before increasing the rate.
A personal 'off the record' phone call to her agent will give her an immediate answer.
I hope this has been of help.
Sincerely,
Bennie
