Will my car insurance go up if someone hits me?

If you live in a no-fault state, your car insurance will go up if someone hits you because no-fault state laws require that each driver be responsible for their own coverage. However, in a tort state, your car insurance may not go up if someone else hits you if that driver is determined to be at-fault. Refer to this guide to learn more about when car insurance will go up if someone hits you.
