However, we also know that your history can affect your insurance and cause complications. Here&#8217;s what you need to know about this factor.<\/p>\n<h2>Yes, Your History Can Affect Your Insurance<\/h2>\n<p>Insurance companies always take a look at your history before providing you with a policy. For example, they may offer you a higher premium as a result of a poor driving record. Even worse, they&#8217;re likely to increase your premiums if you experience any problems after getting a policy.<\/p>\n<p>That said, some issues are not as heavily weighted as others, meaning you might get a minor rate increase compared to a major one. Here are three of the most common concerns that impact your insurance, particularly if they become a recurring problem.<\/p>\n<h2>Issues That May Affect Your Rates&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Traffic Tickets &ndash; Depending on the severity (and volume) of your traffic tickets, your rates will go up at varying levels. First-time offenders are not likely to see an increase in their rates, though.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>DUI Tickets &ndash; If you get ticketed for a DWI or DUI, you can expect your rate to go up very heavily. This increase is likely even if you&#8217;re a first-time offender. It will take many years for this to come off your record, too.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Accidents &ndash; Getting into an accident will immediately increase your rates, even if you weren&#8217;t to blame. This fact likely seems unfair but is something that insurance companies take very seriously.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Avoid These Problems<\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re concerned about the potential damage your history may have due to your insurance, it is crucial to reach out to us at Biddle-Shaw Insurance Services Inc. right away to learn more. Our team can help San Francisco, CA residents understand what they can do to minimize these problematic issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Biddle-Shaw Insurance Services Inc., we serve&nbsp;many San Francisco, CA residents with fair and reasonable insurance rates.
