How much do insurance rates go up after an at-fault accident?

My dad got into an accident and was only 20% at fault, but his insurance still went up. I didn’t realize even partial fault can mess with your rates like that.

Yup, even a small percentage can mess things up. It’s called comparative fault. My friend went through the same thing.

Yeah, my dad was pretty surprised. He thought because he wasn’t mostly at fault, it wouldn’t affect him that much.

Insurance companies don’t care about the percentages. Even if you’re only a little at fault, they’ll still raise your premiums.

Lesson learned. I’ll tell him to be more careful next time!
