Why is Auto Insurance Going Up So Much in 2023?
There are multiple reasons why insurance is going up. The reasons include:
Inflation: Economic inflation has been occurring in many industries. Many consumers have likely noticed the increasing cost of groceries, clothing, etc. as inflation increases. As inflation increases, so do the costs of things that impact auto insurance like medical treatment, labor, and car parts.
Claims: The Insurance Information Institute says more insurance customers have been filing claims and initiating litigation, which drives up costs.
Increased traffic fatalities: NHTSA data shows that traffic deaths and risky driving increased in 2020, to a 16-year high.
All of these factors contribute to the rising costs of auto insurance premiums. Breathe Easy can still help you find affordable coverage, however. We work with a variety of providers, so we can compare and contrast the options to find you our best possible deal that meets your coverage needs.
What Impact Does Having a DUI Have on My Insurance Rates?
A DUI conviction will likely cause you to be labeled as a high-risk driver by insurance companies – high-risk drivers are generally charged a higher rate. Certain carriers may even decline coverage to customers with this background.
Many states also require convicted drivers to file an SR22 certificate of coverage proving they have adequate insurance protection. The cost of your insurance will almost certainly increase following your DUI, but Breathe Easy can help you find an affordable plan.
