Yes, All insurer are going to check your claims history either at the point of purchase or within 60 days of the policy effective date.
You can't hide claims anymore, It only takes the click of a single button and less tahn 1 second to retrieve your claims history.
It's best to be honest about your claims history. When the insure discovers that you have lied or attempted to conceal your previous claims, they may just decide to cancel you, not necessarily because of the claims but rather because you showed dishonesty in your application for insurance, misrepresenting your claims history on an insurance application is considered a form of "Insurance Fraud" which is a felony.. The insurers reasoning is that if you were dishonest about your driving record, then you are more likely to be dishonest about other things as well,
Answer
I have 2 claims for other companies and that hasn't affect me with the other insurance. I don't think they can find out. Insurance Fraud If the application asks about previous claims and you do not list them, your insurance will be cancelled if (when) they find out about them. I would be surprised if they did not. When I was shopping for new insurance, the agent pulled up my DMV records on his computer and I'm sure the claims information is available somewhere, too. If there was a police report but no claims of any sort, will they find out and will they increase my premiums just because of the police report?
