Maybe if you have $hitty insurance... I've only been in accidents that weren't my fault. More than half were people with no insurance, no license, and did not speak English. My insurance has never gone up due to accidents or tickets.
This same exact thing happened to me in my Sentra a number of years ago. Some jacka$$ ran me up on a median and I busted the oil pan and radiator causing like $3K in damages. I ended up paying my deductible because I didn't know I had to file a police report to get it covered under uninsured motorist, which would have covered my deductible as well.

Hmm, interesting. I just had to file a claim for a scrape that happened in a parking lot. Nationwide had me fill out a TXDMV crash report to have my uninsured motorist coverage apply but I still have to pay my deductible.
