I hear that with some companies, your insurance can be cancelled if you have just one claim. Is this true?

It’s very unlikely that your policy would be canceled after you file a single claim. However, filing a claim could increase your premium.

Your auto insurance premium will almost certainly increase after an accident – especially if you were at fault. Actuarial evidence shows that people who have had accidents in the past are more likely to have accidents again. There is a logical reason to charge you more for insurance coverage because of this increased probability of a future claim.

The next question is how much your premium will increase. This is harder to answer, because insurance companies often use different formulas to calculate rate increases. In most cases however, your policy will not be canceled. And because we represent more than one insurance company we can find a better fit for you and you stay with the same agency!
