Can police send accident reports to your car insurance company?
I had to file a police report for an accident I was in. I'm worried about my rate increasing. Will the police send a report to my insurance company?

“In most cases, your
car insurance company
will try to obtain the accident or police report from your state’s DMV.When you call the police after an accident, you typically are required to also fill out an accident report with your state’s DMV. When you report an accident to your insurance company, they will also look at reports filed with the DMV.
Since you are required to inform your insurance about any accidents that may occur, you may not be able to prevent a rate increase. However, you can shop around with other carriers if it does.
With the
Jerry
app, you can compare rates from over 50 different insurance companies to find the best price and coverage to suit your needs and budget.”View full answer
