Best Answer

In most states, whenever a motorist receives a traffic ticket or other driving violation they are assessed two different types of points: driver's license and insurance points. The schedule of points varies from state-to-state, so it's best to contact your state or local Division of Motor Vehicles.

Usually if an accident is determined not to be the insured's fault, then their insurance rates will not rise as the insurance company did not lose any money from covering the driver involved in the accident. If the accident is determined as being inconclusive, the rates may rise some, to adjust for the amount of money the insurance company lost in the accident.

Can you still collect on your own insurance without paying the deductible after an accident.?

If you have collision coverage on your vehicle you can collect from your insurance company for the damages. You will not have to pay the deductible if you were determined by the insurance company to not be at fault for the accident. They then go after the other insurance company to get the money they paid you back. If you do not carry collision coverage then you need to file with other insurance company, they will then decide who was at fault for the accident if their party was at fault they then pay you for the damages to your vehicle.

I don't know exactly how AIG is setup but tickets and accidents usually stay on your insurance for 3yrs. During that 3yr. time frame you will have points on your insurance, the more points the higher the premium. Some companies will look back as far as 5yrs. If your accident is older than 3yrs. but still within 5 it my affect how your policy is tiered. The accident at that point my not cost you any points but because you have had a ticket or accident in the last 5yrs. you may be placed in a different tier than someone with a clean driving record because you are considered higher risk.

If you are in an accident and at fault do you get points on your license or your insurance policy or both?

Your question makes (2) assumptions. (1) that you were cited and (2) the violation has points. Not all vehicle code violations have points associated with them. Points are only assigned by the state to your driving record (license) upon conviction. When/if your insurance company reviews your driving record and sees the accident (not the points) and that you are listed as unit or vehicle 1 (at fault) then they may charge a surcharge
