From Jennifer Porter Law, PLLC – In this episode, we dive deep into the topic, Will My Car Insurance Rates Go Up if I Make a Personal Injury Claim in Virginia? Virginia's car insurance laws are designed to protect drivers from unfair premium increases after filing a claim for an accident they didn’t cause. We break down the nuances of these laws, including how fault impacts insurance rates and why claims for damages caused by uninsured or underinsured motorists are treated differently. Listeners will gain a better understanding of the protections in place and how Virginia law ensures drivers can pursue compensation without fearing unjust financial penalties.
Virginia prohibits insurers from raising premiums solely due to claims related to non-fault accidents, offering drivers important safeguards against unwarranted increases. We also discuss how Personal Injury Protection (PIP) claims are handled under state law, emphasizing the measures that allow policyholders to seek medical care and recovery without immediate financial strain. For drivers in areas like Fairfax, Virginia, maintaining awareness of these laws and reviewing insurance coverage can make a significant difference when navigating accident-related claims.
